How dwarfing of banana is done ?

banana

Application of growth retardants significantly reduces the plant height; this effect improves the appearance of banana and increases the use of plant for ornamental gardening. Plant height was reduced two months following application of PP333 0.25 mg/plant at the conclusion of the hardening period. The addition of growth retardants (GR) to liquid culture media during the multiplication stage of bananas, such as Ancymidol (ANC) or Paclobutrazol (PBZ), reduces the excessive growth of stems and leaves. Paclobutrazol, when applied to the soil, reduces plant height by 25% while having no effect on flowering.
