Banana is propagated by-

Correct option is A

The correct answer is(a) Suckers
· Banana plants are primarily propagated by suckers, also known as pups.
· Suckers are shoots that develop from the base of the banana plant, emerging from the underground rhizome.
· These suckers can be separated from the mother plant and replanted to grow new banana plants. This vegetative propagation method ensures that the new plants are genetically identical to the parent plant, maintaining the desired characteristics of the banana variety.
Details on other options:
· Tillers: Typically refer to the shoots or stems that grow from the base of a grass plant, often seen in cereal crops.
· Stem cutting: A common method of vegetative propagation in many plants, where a piece of the stem is planted to grow a new plant, but not commonly used for bananas.
· Crown: In horticulture, it generally refers to the part of a plant where the stem meets the roots, but not used as a method of propagation for bananas.
