Abstract: Banana is one of the most important crops in tropical and subtropical regions of China. Fenjiao (Musa Spp. ABB,Pisang Awak subgroup) has been grown by small scale famers because of its stable market price and better sugar-acid blend. However, the traditional Fenjiao variety is susceptible to banana Fusarium wilt, has a high plant height (over 5.0 m), and farmers lack large-scale planting techniques. Based on the traditional Fenjiao variety, we selected ‘Refen 1’ variety through mutagenesis technology, which has low temperature resistance, suitable to marginal soils and relatively low plant height (3.2-4.0 m).This paper mainly introduces the major techniques of propagation, cultivation, and post-harvest stages of ‘Refen 1’ banana, including the selection of explant materials, treatment, disinfection, initial culture, nursery hardening of in vitro-produced banana plants, and transplant of tissue culture seedlings. The major points of the cultivation technology include banana plantation selection and preparation, planting methods, irrigation and fertilizer management, pruning and retaining, and prevention and control of plant diseases and insect pests.
