Conteúdo: | The effect of size type of planting material on plant growth and yield in the Cavendish banana has been investigated at the Maroochy Experiment Station using "bits" ranging from 1 Ib to 6 Ib in weight and "suckers" ranging from 10 in. to 20 in. in maximum girth. Bits required a longer period to emerge than suckers but produced a uniform stand of plants which were taller, were greater in girth and bore larger bunches than plants grown from suckers. These differences Were reflected in the greater number of hands per bunch and the greater number of fingers. Size of planting material had no appreciable effect on the performance of bits, although plants from the larges sizes matured their bunches a little earlier than those from the smaller. The performance of sucker planting material, on the other hand, varied with size-the smaller the sucker the longer the growing period, the grenter the number of leaves and, general, the greater the bunch weight. Neither size nor type of planting material had any influence on the total number of suckers produced.
