Conventional propagation practices of banana challenge the production of disease-free planting materials. This study evaluates the use of the misting system and different plant growth enhancers, Benzyl Amino Purine at 2mg/l and Naphthalene Acetic Acid at 0.93g/L, on plantlet development of Saba banana (Musa balbisiana) micro propagated under glasshouse conditions.

 A total of 36 corms are equally distributed in three propagators. Four growth parameters are observed and analyzed using factorial in Completely Randomized Design in first-generation plantlets (GP1) and second-generation plantlets (GP2). Results show that the use of the misting system significantly increased (p<0.01) all the growth parameters tested during the first and second cycles. The growth enhancers significantly shortened the number of days to emergence (p<0.01), (GP1, GP2) and increased the number of shoots emerged (p<0.01) (GP1, GP2), shoot collar diameter (p<0.01) (GP1) (p<0.05) (GP2), and total leaf area (p<0.05) (GP1) (p<0.01) (GP2). The interaction of the two factors has significantly shortened the number of days to emergence (P ≤ 0.05), produced the most number of shoots (P ≤ 0.01) and the largest total leaf area (P ≤ 0.05) in GP2. The findings suggest that the combined use of the misting system and plant growth enhancers accelerates the growth of macropropagated Saba banana.
