Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Study of growth hormones and biofertilizers on macropropagation in banana cv. Poovan” was carried out during 2019-2020 at the Department of Fruit Science, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkote, Karnataka. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomised Design (CRD) with eleven treatments and three replications. Among different growth hormones and biofertilizers used, the corms treated with BAP took less number of days for first bud emergence (25.20 days), secondary decapitation of first bud emerged (51.46 days) whereas, treatment combination of VAM + BAP + P. fluorescens + T. harzianum (T10) recorded maximum number of primary buds per corm (3.73), total number of plantlets per corm (15.40), shoot girth (23.94 mm), fresh weight of shoot (74.96 g), dry weight of shoot (6.74 g), number of leaves (4.43) and leaf area (470.94 cm2 /plant).
