Tissue Culture Banana: 48. 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!

CIGAR END ROT

Symptoms:

Two fungi are associated with this disease viz. verticillium theobromae (V.theobromae) & Trachyspaera fructigena (T.fructigena). The fungus attacks at the flowering stage and its incidence is spotted during rainy season. Spray of Bavistin @ 1 gm/lt or Kavach (Chlorothalonil) @ 1gm / lt of water on the bunches is recommended.:

As the fruit develops, the infection spreads slowly along with the fruit growth causing blackening of the skin.

Tip of the infected fingers later gets covered with a powdery mass of spores resembling grey ash end of a cigar.

Control:

Removal the untransformed flowers after the finger emergence.
Spray the bunches with Bavistin @ 1 gm/lt or Kavach (Chlorothalonil) @ 1gm / lt of water once in 15 days and later on cover the bunches with polythene sleeve.
