Macropropagation in Banana (How to obtain multiple plants from just one)

Let's make a break on scientific vlogs and let's learn something new. This time I'm bringing you this new (Gardening) video tutorial.

Here, I'm going to show you how to obtain many plants from just one plant. This is a very common technique used in many countries to propagate bananas. It is efficient and cheap. This doesn't mean that is the best method as it has a lot of disadvantages including the spread of pathogens, lack of uniformity, among others (see my scientific presentation about this: https://youtu.be/PC3Y80pDZRk)

In the industry of banana, big farms would never use this methodology. "In vitro" plants from tissue culture is the rule as they guarantee plants free of pathogens. However, it is a very good option for gardening if you have spare banana plants and you want to get more plants you can try this method at home.
