Banana Seed Germination Forum As one of the toughest seeds in the plant kingdom to figure out the keys to germination success with, this is a forum with banana seed germination tips. Please entitle posts like "Musa balbisiana," or "Musa cheesmani," etc. People would then post a reply under that heading, sharing their germination successes (and failures), what materials and methods they used, germination percentage, etc.

Default Nitrozime

Hi everyone, Just ordered Nitrozyme Has anyone tried this on banana plants. It's hormones to increase the size of plants and flowers 25 to 50%. How about soaking seeds? I just started soaking seeds in Epsom salts. Also scarified. They all sunk. Guess they are viable. Just a thought on the Nitrozyme.

I don't know if size of plant or flower can be up to 50% bigger.
Sure do good, I used some, but i have had no test group with and without nitrozyme to tell % more growth.

It's written "seed treatment" on the box, maybe can work.

Does cytokinins in nitrozyme do something for germination?
Or another component in it?
(Ingredients: cytokinins, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, along with carbohydrates including alginic acid and macro and trace elements )

Typical Analysis

A. Active Ingredient

Cytokinin, as kinetin, based on biological activity 0.04% (400 ppm)

B. Registration

United States EPA Registration No. 45246-1

C. Chemical and Physical Properties

Physical State: Liquid
Color: Brown/Black
Specific Gravity: 1 14 @ 20oC (min.)
Solubility: Highly soluble in water
pH: 4.3 - 5.0
Nitrogen: 0.2% - 0.4%
P2O5: 4.0% - 5.0%
K2O: 4.0% - 5.0%
Organic Matter: 10% - 12%
Solids: 22% - 24%

keep us update if you test it on germination !

I sure will! Love experimenting. Maybe a test on half w/ Nitrozyme.
Thanks again!

I've conducted a small (hardly) scientific study, no double blind studys here, on the effects of different seed treatments and the effect on speed of germination.

I tried nitrozyme at the concentration recommended for seed treatment, 20 ml per litre; tap water; epsom salts at 1 gram per litre, 2 gram per litre and 3 gram per litre.

I found that for speed and % germination 2 gram per litre of epsom salts was by far the best and actually water was better than nitrozyme.

I used to swear by it for germination, but now I use it as a plant tonic.

Don't start me on scarifying...

Sunfish, what would the pics be of? a bottle of nitrozyme?
