Experiment Title Collection, characterisation, conservation, evaluation and utilization of germplasm of Banana
Research Type AICRP Research
Experiment Background At Gandevi center total 74 (10 primary and 64 secondary) germplasm planted in February, 2021. One season of characterization of 63 secondary germplasm were completed in year 2018-19 and 42 germplasm characterizations completed 2020-21. Information of characterization based on standard minimal descriptor provided by ICAR-NRCB, Tiruchirapalli (T.N.) One secondary germplasm (Pisang Seribu) from Kolkata (W.B.) and 2 new primary germplasm (1- higher yield and 1- for higher TSS and table purpose) from Khadsupa and Vegam village of Navsari district. All of 74 germplasms are under vegetative phase third season is in progress.
