Research Adviser: Mrs. Eleanor Ersando
This study was conducted at the Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau, UP LB College, Laguna from May 5, 1994, to October 2, 1994. In this study , the primary objectives were to develop technique of mass propagation of anthuriums and to investigation the effects of the different organic culture media to callus formation of anthurium explants. It also aimed to determine which of these culture media is best suited for the culture of anthurium explants. Moreover, it also sought to determine ways of reducing percentage contamination among explants.
The study was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 6 treatments and with IØ replications. The treatments were: T — control treatment (MS medium only), T 1 (Coconut water sucrose agar), T 2 (Rice bran sucrose agar), T 3 (Sweet Potato sucrose Agar), T 4 (Banana sucrose agar), and T 5 (Tomato homogenate sucrose agar) .
Results of the trial— experiment proved that the most effective length of time for surface disinfection was 2Ø-minute surface disinfection of explants on a 5% sodium hypochlorite.
Results of the actual experiment which lasted for 45 days revealed that highly significant results were obtained in all the parameters used in this study. It appears that most effective culture media that can support callus growth are coconut water sucrose agar and tomato homogenate were observed on organic culture as compared to MS medium only.
