Sammanfattning
Seeds were collected from five wild and nine cultivated enset plants. Germination was overall c. 25%. Seedlings were successfully grown in a mix of loam, sand and dried cow dung. Six cultivars were used to study vegetative reproduction related to corm splitting and irrigation. Emergence was 100% from corms and sprouts were larger than expected.Seeds can be used for development of improved characteristics of enset, utilizing the genetic variation for selection and following established procedures for new cultivars. However, seeds must not be distributed for direct use; clones developed from selected seedlings can efficiently be vegetatively propagated and distributed.
