Abstract:
The experiment were conducted to investigate the effect of different concentration of BAP, and Kinetin on in vitro shoot initiation and multiplication of two banana varieties Nendran and Nanjangud Rasabale. The rapid shoot initiation was obtained from MS medium fortified with 5 mgL^-1 BAP for Nendran and 6 mgL^-1 BAP for Nanjangud Rasabale varieties of banana. For multiplication, in Nendran and Nanjangud Rasabale were observed on MS medium supplemented with 6 mgL^-1 BAP and 5 mgL^-1 BAP respectively. For root induction, MS medium fortified with 2 mgL^-1 IBA (91.48%) and 2 mgL^-1 NAA (80.29%) was found effective for highest percentage of root regeneration in Nendran and Nanjangud Rasabale variety of banana respectively. The rooted plants transferred in potting mixture of Red soil, FYM and Sand present in equal proportion (1:1:1) recorded 89.57% and 88.55% survivability in Nendran and Nanjangud Rasabale, respectively.
