This experiment was accomplished in the tissue culture laboratory at Setor de Horticultura, Escola de Agronomia, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, GO, Brazil, from May to August 1999. Some products were evaluated concerning their potential control of endogenous fungi and bacteria on banana explants of Musa AAB cv. Maçã in vitro culture. The following products and respective concentrations were evaluated. NaOCl at 103, 3´103 and 5´103 mg L-1; benomyl at 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1; cefotaxim at 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1 and rifampicin at 100, 200 and 300 mg L-1. The results showed that cefotaxim at 300 mg L-1 retarded the contamination of explants in the initial phase of implantation and reduced of bacteria and fungi infestation. KEY-WORDS: Tissue culture; contamination agents; fungicides; bactericides.
