Figure B7.11Flow chart of macropropagation of plantain (Poteau Geant, ABB). (a) = uprooting or harvesting of banana sucker from true‐to‐type mother plant; (b) = shaping of sucker; (c) = cross‐section cutting of the sucker; (d) = sterilization of prepared sucker; (e) = planting of the sucker by placing on treated soil; and (f) = covering of the sucker with sawdust serving as fertilizer.

Figure B7.12Macropropagation experimental output from a plantain accession (Poteau Geant, PG, ABB). (a) = growth rate of macropropagated PG (ABB); (b) = fully macropropagated and grown Poteau Geant ready for transfer to separate plastic pots; (c) = four independently obtained macropropagated PG from pot a; (d) = still pot a, the source of the four separate, showing more growth initiation after the transfer of the initial four plantlets.
