Hello everyone,
For two days now it has been raining heavily in my area and I thought it would be nice for me to start transplanting my banana suckers, separating them from the parents to their permanent site.Transplanting a banana sucker is a crucial step in banana cultivation, you have to be very careful when separating the sucker from the mother plant ensuring that your plant.
Here’s a step-by-step on how I transplanted my banana sucker successfully.
Materials used
Banana sucker
Your Shovel
A mix of compost or organic matter
Mulch if necessary
Watering can
The first thing I did was to look for banana suckers for transplanting, I made sure they were just young ones coming up so that they can grow well.
The next thing was for me to go prepare the permanent site, it was a rainy day. I didn't mind. I went in, cleared the spot and I made sure the soil was good. After that I dug the hole which was about twice the size of the sucker root so that they can have enough space to spread out. When I was done digging I had to apply animal waste, I usually prefer animal waste to fertilizer, adding them will give an improvement to the soil.
Finishing with the animal waste applications I had to go for the banana sucker. For me not to make a mistake , I carefully dug around the base of the sucker. I continued till it was wide and deep to get its pool out. I had to gently lift the suckers from the group to planting areas. I then Placed the Sucker in the hole, I Positioned the sucker in the center of the hole, I ensured that it was the same depth as it was in its original location, then I backfill the holes with the soil, gentle pressing if down to remove air pockets in the soil. Lastly was for me to water it but since it was a rainy day there was no need for that. So guys that was how I successfully transplanted my banana suckers to its permanent site. You can also use this same method if you want to plant a banana. Thanks
Banana management farming is always interesting, going by the buy want and need, even in industrialised production, banana has become a major eatable fruit and sub production material. I am so happy to know that a young people like you still take Agriculture seriously, more expecially banana farming.
