Who doesn’t want more bananas? Learn how to propagate healthy, disease-free banana plants using macropropagation techniques at the Banana Macropropagation Workshop Part 2 offered by Cooperative Extension faculty and staff on five islands!
The workshop will show participants how to multiply banana corms using materials generated from Part 1 of the Workshop. It will also include, if needed, a review of the following topics: propagation of clean banana plants through macropropagation techniques, identification and management of Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV), and a demonstration of rapid BBTV detection using AmplifyRP® test kits.
