Bananas
Our tissue culture banana varieties are disease-free and genetically identical, ensuring consistent quality and high yields. Produced through advanced laboratory techniques, these plants offer superior growth characteristics and improved resistance to common banana diseases.
Our Banana Varieties
Williams
Traditional banana variety with good yield and adaptability to different soil types, preferred in areas with cold winter seasons or poor drainage.
Characteristics:
- Hands: 9-10 in first crop, 12-13 in subsequent harvests
- Yield: 1 box in first harvest, 1.4 boxes in subsequent harvests
- Height: 3m first year, 3.5-4.0m second year
- Excellent tolerance to extreme soil conditions, temperature and humidity
Galil-12
Traditional banana variety, shorter than Williams with slightly higher yield but less adaptable to different soil types. Superior wind tolerance.
Characteristics:
- Hands: 9-10 in first crop, 12-13 in subsequent harvests
- Yield: 1 box in first harvest, 1.4 boxes in subsequent harvests
- Height: 2.5m first year, 3-3.5m second year
- Good separation between hands
Formosana-218
A Giant Cavendish clone similar to Williams and Galil-12 with high tolerance to Tropical Race 4 (TR4), maintaining excellent fruit quality and characteristics.
Characteristics:
- Hands: 11.5 average
- Yield: 1 box in first harvest, 1.4 boxes in subsequent harvests
- Height: 2.8m average
- High tolerance to Fusarium Race 4 (TR4)
Benefits of Our Tissue Culture Bananas
Disease-Free Plants
Our tissue culture process ensures that all banana plants are free from viruses, bacteria, and fungi that commonly affect traditional banana propagation.
Genetic Uniformity
All plants from the same variety are genetically identical, ensuring consistent growth, maturation time, and fruit quality across your entire plantation.
Higher Yields
Field tests show that our tissue culture banana plants produce 20-30% higher yields compared to conventionally propagated bananas.
Year-Round Availability
Our laboratory production ensures consistent supply of banana plantlets throughout the year, independent of seasons.
Banana Planting Guide
Planting Season
Best planted at the beginning of the rainy season or with irrigation systems in place for dry seasons.
Climate Requirements
Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates with temperatures between 20-35°C and annual rainfall of 1200-2600mm.
Soil Preferences
Well-draining, fertile soil with high organic matter content. Optimal pH range: 5.5-7.0.
Planting Density
High density: 2600-3200 plants/ha using double row planting, following our Croptiming concept.
Traditional: 1200-1800 plants/ha with conventional spacing.
