| Summary: | Musa acuminata cv Berangan is a Cavendish type of banana that is popularly grown in Malaysia but still cannot fulfil the market and customer demand. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the growth and yield performance of Musa
acuminata cv Berangan at post planting after 6 months being treated with different concentration of BAP 0 mg/L, 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L during in vitro stage. The aim of this study is to identify which concentration of BAP lead to the highest performance in the field. Parameters that have been measured to evaluate growth performance were leaf length, leaf width, number of functional leaves, plant height and
the girth size while the parameter to evaluate the yield performance were bunch weight, weight without bunch, bunch length, number of hand, number of finger per hand, finger
length and finger girth. The results showed that the plants treated with 5 mg/L BAP showed highest performance in growth and yield as compared to other treatments. Somaclonal variation had been recorded in treatment 5 mg/L BAP that showed good agronomical characteristics at the plant and yield which suitable for mass propagation in commercial planting. |
