The demand for planting material can be fulfilled in the farm gate by using this technology. For the reach of the technology at the grass-root level, the State Horticulture Agencies could promote this technology by providing technical know-how and through a subsidization programme to the banana farming community. Monoculture of bananas with a single variety is highly vulnerable to pests and diseases, and hence it is essential to practice multi-clonal cultivation. To promote the multiclonal cultivation of bananas where there is no availability of tissue culture planting material, this technique is a great intervention for sustainable banana production.
