Banana plantations

Banana is the common name given to the giant-leafed plants terna extends from the tribe of Musaceae. Some species (Musa acuminata, M. balbisiana, and M. × paradisiaca) produces fruit called the same consumption. The fruit is arranged in bunches with groups composed menjari, called the comb. Almost all bananas have yellow skin when ripe, though some were orange, red, purple, or even almost black. Bananas as a source of food energy (carbohydrates) and minerals, especially potassium.

Be aware, the term "banana" is also used for some types of consumption do not produce fruit, like bananas abaka, ornamental bananas, and banana fan. This article discusses only the banana-producing fruit consumption and related relatives.

[edit] The diversity of banana

The main diversity centers are located in the banana Malesia region (Southeast Asia, Papua and the Australian tropics). Center for minor diversity was also found in tropical Africa. This plant likes a tropical climate is hot and humid, especially in the lowlands. In areas with evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year, banana production can take place without knowing the season. Indonesia, Pacific Islands, the countries of Central America, and Brazil is known as the main countries exporting bananas. Communities in African countries and Latin America known to be very high consumption of bananas each year.
[edit] The theory of the genetic diversity of banana cultivation

Banana cultivation at the present time is considered a descendant of the diploid Musa acuminata and grow wild. Be donated genome symbol A. Natural crossing with Moses balbisiana entering a new genome, called B, and causes varied types of bananas. The influence of genome B mainly seen in the flour content in the higher fruit. In general, the genome A character contributes to the fruit table (banana), while the B genome of banana fruit at if / cook (plantains). Hybrid M. acuminata with M. This is known as balbisiana M. × paradisiaca. Especially for group AAB, the name of Musa sapientum never used.

Following recommendations Simmonds and Shepherd, whose work was published in 1955, the classification of banana cultivation is now using a combination of names of this genome as a culture group (cultivar group). For example, for bananas 'Cavendish', known as Musa (AAA group subgroup Dessert) 'Cavendish'. Under the division of the group is still possible in the child-group (subgroup). See also the article Moses for more in-depth discussion.

Examples

* Group AA (diploid): one thousand banana, banana candle, banana mas
* The AAA (triploid, partenokarp): banana milk, bananito, banana types ambon / moisture (such as 'Ambon Putih', 'Ambon Green', 'Gros Michel' and 'Cavendish'), banana barangan
* Group AAB (triploid, partenokarp): the kinds of plantain, plantains as true cultivars 'Silk' from South America, banana horns
* ABB Group (triploid, partenokarp): kepok banana, banana Siamese
* AAAB group (tetraploid, partenokarp):
* BB Group (diploid):
* The BBB:
* Group AABB:

[edit] Cultivation

Bananas have traditionally not been cultivated intensively. Only a few are cultivated intensively and in a large-scale monoculture plantations, such as 'Gros Michel' and 'Cavendish'. Other types of clusters are usually planted in the yard, the edges of other land plants, and the riverbank.
