Lakatan Bananas in Cagayan de Oro City
A month ago, I started planting Lakatan bananas from suckers I bought from Brod Dodo who has a lakatan farm in Kinoguitan. Planting lakatan bananas is not so easy involving not just land preparation which I did in the most haphazard way but also deciding how many plants you would want in your farm.
I decided it would be best to have a good enough density like 2,100 plants per hectare and computing from that I came up with a scheme of planting each sucker 215 cm. from each other. I think this is a pretty good number. The traditional way is to plant each sucker three meters apart which would result in a density of less than 1000 plants per hectare.
