<div style="text-align:left">Background: A consistent practice for mass multiplication of banana cv. Malnad Rasbale has been accomplished, which is an endemic cultivar of&nbsp;Western Ghats of Karnataka, India.&nbsp; 
 
Methods: Decrease in microbial contagion have been managed by dealing with outward sterilization agents ethanol, sodium hypochlorite, mercuric chloride solution, antibiotic solutions containing cefotaxime and gentamicin. MS media augmented with 350 mg/l urea as the nitrogen source by substituting KNO3 and NH4NO3 which is commonly used in terroristic activities. Organogenic media was supplemented with a range of 2-6 mg/l BAP and 0.3-2.7 mg/l TDZ. 
 
Result: The addition of urea substituting KNO3 and NH4NO3 gave the eminent grades in overall initiation, shoot multiplication and development and also in the rooting phase. Supplementation for shoot development with BAP (4 mg/l), TDZ (1.8 mg/l) and with 350 mg/l urea showed enthusiastic progress in shoot elongation with specific concentrations. Plants established under in vitro circumstances were reassigned to the greenhouse and after the progress, they were promoted to field conditions.</div>

Supplementation of Urea as the Nitrate Source of MS Medium and High-frequency Regeneration of Plantlets of Musa paradisiaca cv. Malnad Rasbale

Background: The projection of prana to soil, seeds and seedlings to enhance plant growth is referred to as Pranic Agriculture (PA). 
 
Methods: A field study was carried out to study the influence of PA on Banana var. (Musa sps. var. Nanjangud rasabale) growth for a duration of one year. Banana suckers and agricultural land were divided into two groups namely pranic and control in half acre. The land and suckers were treated with PA and were referred to as the pranic group, while non-pranic were referred to as the control group. Growth parameters (shoot length, shoot diameter, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf diameter) were evaluated on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th months and statistically analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA. Fruit morphology and days to flowering were analyzed using a t-test. 
 
Result: For pranic group, shoot diameter (F = 9.407, p = 0.001), leaf length (F = 7.082, p = 0.003) and leaf diameter (F = 11.459, p = .000), flowering days (t = 3.39, P=.002), fruit characteristics like fruit bunch weight (t = 8.81, p = .000), total number of fruits in bunch (t = 9.20, p = .000), fruits weight (t = 7.48, p = .000), fruit length (t = 7.94, p = .000) enhanced considerably and the results were all significant when compared to control. Further studies are needed to find out the mechanism for the improved growth in the pranic group. This study will help the farmers to get higher yields and more income by using pranic agriculture.
