ABSTRACT
Of the five supportive materials tried, MS with cotton fiber was found to be the best for rapid growth and plants were ready for further sub-culturing after two weeks while the control showed the same results after six weeks. Addition of table sugar was tested against sigma sucrose. Both gave the same growth of banana plants.
