Abstract

Because of the tremendous current demand for Nanicão (Musa acuminata AAA) banana shoots in the state of Goiás, notably in the “Mato Grosso Goiano” area, shoots have had to be imported from far away. The greater part of these shoots are transported in rootstalk form. Each rootstalk weighs approximately 1 Kg. A larger portion of these shoots than been anticipated, are defective. The present study was made to determine the effect of storage time on the budding of this particular banana rootstalk. The results of the experiment show that during the period of storage, forty-two (42) days, that was studied, there was almost no difference in budding among the rootstalks. Only those which were stored for five (5) weeks showed, unexplainably, a low budding index.
