Abstract

                                The occurrence of two types of suckers in banana plantations, the sword and the broad-leaved or water suckers is well known. Cook (1911) attributed the development of sword suckers to the growth of buds on the rhizome situated near the surface of the ground. Skuteh (1929) says that this "phenomenon is one of apical dominance". Preliminary investigations on the occurrence of broad-leaved suckers were undertaken and materials collected by the excavation of a number of broad-leaved and sword suckers in various stages of development.
