Abstract

The use of planting material obtained by in vitro micropropagation is certainly the most significant advance in banana cultivation techniques in the past decade. Vitroplants, which were almost unknown at the beginning of the 1980s, are now widely used in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Pacific rim, and in Africa.
