Tissue Culture Banana: 47. Fungal disease

WELCOME TO TISSUE CULTURE BANANA CULTIVATION!

A profitable venture with a gratifying experience !

A Plant Inoculation Room (PIR) in a Tissue Culture Lab:

Trained technicians working in LAF cabinets at Plant Inoculation Room. All TC Labs should have demarcated clean area for Plant Inoculation Rooms (PIR) having stringent sterility conditions (Class 100-10,000 air quality)

A plant growth room in a Tissue Culture Lab:

All TC Labs should have demarcated clean area for both Plant Inoculation Rooms (PIR) and Plant Growth Rooms (PGR) having stringent sterility conditions (Class 100-10,000 air quality)

T.C Plants in JIFFY POTS :

Tissue culture Grande Naine plants raised in Jiffy pots in their holding tray.

A secondary hardening centre:

Many Polyhouses of this kind with a capacity to accomodate 1 Lakh plants each are required depending upon the production capacity of the unit.

A secondary hardening centre:

Well stocked with robust plants.

Uniform Growth!

No variations or off-types. Growth at the age of 75 Days.

A robust flower at emergence!

Robust and Uniform Bunches !

A charcteristic feature Tissue culture Banana plants are the uniformity of bunches in all the trees in a given field.

Bountiful Harvest and feels hard to part with his most loved produce!

FUNGAL DISEASE (Pre & Post - Harvest): ANTHRACNOSE

ANTHRACNOSE

Symptoms:

It is a serious pre and post harvest disease caused by Colletotrichum musae.

Infection starts at the distal end of the young harvested fruits as minute black spots, spreading slowly to the whole fruit which eventually turns black and shriveled. It spreads to the other hands through the stalk affecting the whole bunch.
On ripening fruits, the symptoms appear as sunken brownish lesions which get covered by salmon colored fungal sporulation. Lesions expand faster and coalesce giving a black appearance to the fingers.

Control:
Spray bunches twice with 0.25% Indofil M-45 or 0.25% Kavach at 15 days interval.
