This trial investigated the effect of planting time on subsets of plants grown from the same batch of tissue cultured plantlets, which were deflasked on 22 August 2009. The trial showed that of the three plantings of these tissue culture plants, the first planting of the smallest plants were, by the end of the growing season in late April, larger than the two later plantings. This outcome suggests that banana plants take better advantage of the peak of the growing season if they are in the field than do plants which remain in the nursery for more of the growing season.
