Different types of media, such as agar-gelled, agitated liquid and static liquuid, were assessed for their ability to support shoot multiplication and ex vitro survival. liquid media were found better for shoot multiplication whereas agar-gelled medium supported maximum ex vitro survial.For maximum plantlet production, growing in static liquid medium followed by a brief culture on agar-gelled medium has been suggested.  aMicropropagation  aMusa  aSilk  aBluggoe  aCavendish1 aSINGH, N.
