Global banana demand faces challenges due to slow regeneration and disease-free read to plant material, which macro propagation using coelomic vermi-fluid can help boost small-scale farmers. Hence, to hasten shoot generation in lakatan banana using corm bits, this experiment was conducted to find out the effect of coelomic vermi fluid on the shoot generation and development of macro-sectioned banana corm. This was laid out in a 4×2 factorial experiment arranged in a Complete Randomized Design (Factorial in CRD) with three replications. Treatments were varying levels of coelomic vermi-fluid as factor A and varying application frequencies as factor B. The treatments were as follows: A1– 50% coelomic vermin fluid + 50 % water, A2– 75% coelomic vermin fluid + 25 % water, A3-100% coelomic vermin fluid, A4 – Synthetic Growth hormone (ANAA).Result showed that the application of coelomic vermi-fluid at macro-sectioned lakatan banana corms with 100% survival rate. The coelomic vermi-fluid significantly influenced the macro-sectioned lakatan banana corms in terms of number of shoot, number of leaves, number of roots, plant height, length of roots and stem girth. However, there was no significant interaction effect between varying levels of coelomic vermi fluid and varying frequencies of application. The application of 100% coelomic vermi-fluid boosted the growth of macro-sectioned lakatan banana in terms of survival rate, plant height, number of shoot, number of roots, length of roots, number of leaves, and stem girth.
