Banana 02 - Craun Research Sarawak

Banana clonal variety ‘kepok’ are nursed at the green house during acclimatization stage for 4 months duration before field planting.

Banana (Musa spp.) tissue culture approach facilitates mass production of plantlets/ time. Using tissue culture, the possibility to develop healthy planting material is the key to good crop stand in the field.

Ginger

Ginger or scientifically known as Zingiber officinale Rosc. is a perennial plant with thick tuberous pungent aromatic roots or rhizomes. It has been cultivated for thousands of years for use as a spice and for herbal medicine purposes.

Fertigation technology (soilless) is the best cultivation practice, where it can prevent soil-borne diseases that could affect the growth of ginger rhizome as well as to increase the production yield of ginger.
