Multiple bud clumps induction of banana cv. Barangan Merah (Musa acuminate Colla.) under in vitro treatment of benzyl amino purine and indole-3 acetic acid

Abstract Cultivar Barangan is one of the famous banana plants that has good taste and price. The disadvantages this susceptible to Fusarium disease. Tissue culture techniques ways propagation for plant. This study aimed determine effective concentration benzyl amino purines (BAP) indole-3 acetic acid (IAA) optimal multiple bud clumps (MBC) induction in explants Merah banana. Research was carried out at Laboratory Culture, Faculty Agriculture, Universitas Syiah Kuala. research design a completely randomized design, 3x2 factorial. BAP first factor, i.e. 5, 10 15 mg L −1 . second factor IAA, 0.1 0.5 results showed 96,29% all treatments survived. Explant contamination 11,11% occurred by bacteria brownish exudate spread medium. MBC are significantly increased 16 days after 5 + IAA All combinations concentrations have produced (100%) eighth weeks induction. resulted highest shoots number. Analysis variance Least Significant Different further test longest shoot length founding compared other treatments. Increasing lower length. It can be concluded taken together best effectively through tissue technique.
