After the humidity chamber/propagator with the sterilised sawdust has been prepared,then the next step is to source for good parent hybrid suckers.

The variety i make use of is the Giant French horn hybrid variety.
My next discussion will be on suckers

Here is the crux of your write up. Explain the quoted with stage wise pictures..

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Now the crux of the matter.

Talking about the suckers
The improved variety used is the Giant French Horn hybrid which produce good yield.

The best type to produce tissue cultured hybrid plants is the sword suckers
see pictures below

Nice one bro.
Keep the good work.
Re: A Must Read For Plantain Farmers And Intending Farmers by Lesgupnigeria(m): 11:36pm On Mar 05, 2015
The next step is pairing of the sword suckers.
Pairing is the removal of roots amd cleaning of the suckers.

Lest i forget, the best bet for a profitable plantain farming business this season is to make use of TISSUED CULTURED HYBRID SUCKERS .
check some of my thread for more information on that.

More pictures on how pairing was done.

Where can one get the hybrid sucker ?
Re: A Must Read For Plantain Farmers And Intending Farmers by Lesgupnigeria(m): 11:47pm On Mar 05, 2015
The next step is sterilising the suckers in hot water for 30seconds with the use of stopwatch.

This is where the technicality of tissue cultured suckers are;
Please pay attention here

The sheath of the treated plantain suckers are removed to expose bud as shown in the picture where a v-shaped bud shoots out after the sheath are being removed (a finger pointing towards the buds)
The bud are cross cut in the middle with a knife to kill the buds.

All buds are exposed and cross cut at the middle with a knife
