leaves (1.1 times) compared to the non-inoculated control and all
other treatments. In the Rhodic Ferralsol, all products except Subtilex
increased number of leaves by 1.2 times relative to the control.
Only Rhizatech inoculated plantlets in the conventional media had
higher number of leaves (1.1 times) than the control plants. The
number of leaves produced across all soils ranged from 6 to 10
leaves irrespective of the product used.
3.2.4. Leaf length and leaf width
Effect of products on leaf length was highly significant in the
Vertisol and Rhodic Ferralsol (Table 4). In the Vertisol, PHC Biopak
recorded significant increase in length compared to the noninoculated
control (23.7cm vs 20.4 cm), Subtilex (19.5 cm), ECO-T
(21.8 cm), MYCOR (22.2 cm) and Rhizatech (22.0 cm). In the Rhodic
Ferralsol, similar observations were made with plantlets inoculated
with the PHC Biopak and PHC Colonize (18.8 cm) performing significantly
better than the non-inoculated plants (14.1 cm) as well as
plants inoculated with ECO-T (14.1 cm), MYCOR (12.3 cm), Rhizatech
(12.9 cm) and Subtilex (13.9 cm). Similar observations were
made on leaf width with plants inoculated with PHC Biopak and
PHC Colonize in the Rhodic Ferralsol increasing leaf width by 1.5
and 1.6 times compared to the control. All products except Subtilex
increased leaf width in the Vertisol by a range of 80–120%
times compared to the control.
3.2.5. Trends of growth of inoculated banana plants
The effectiveness of products to sustain tissue cultured banana
growth was confirmed by assessing banana growth at different
times through out the nursery phase. The results showed PHC
Biopak and PHC Colonize to significantly enhance banana growth
in the Vertisol; PHC Biopak in the Rhodic Ferralsol, Subtilex in the
Humic Nitisol and ECO-T in the conventional media through out
leaves (1.1 times) compared to the non-inoculated control and allother treatments. In the Rhodic Ferralsol, all products except Subtilexincreased number of leaves by 1.2 times relative to the control.Only Rhizatech inoculated plantlets in the conventional media hadhigher number of leaves (1.1 times) than the control plants.
