This manual describes the key post-harvest criteria and methods/procedures for routine selection of new Musa hybrids. There are many post-harvest criteria for screening new banana, cooking banana and plantain hybrids, however the major ones include : post-harvest characteristics at harvest, fruit...
Micropropagation techniques have the potential to deliver
large amounts of propagules of vegetatively propagated
plantain and banana, enabling the rapid dissemination of
land races and new varieties resulting from breeding
programs. However, a critical stage in the realization of this
potential i...
