Response of nendran banana to different levels of N, P and K

Experiments were conducted to study the response of nendran banana to different levels of N, P and K at the Banana & Pineapple Research Station, Kannara for five consecutive seasons from 1963 — 64. The results revealed that the nutrients N and K exerted a significant positive influence on fruit number and bunch weight. The optimum dose of N and K2O corresponding to maximum yield of fruit has been worked out as 191, and 301 g per plant respectively. The economic optimum dose according to to the prevailing market rate has been worked out as 133 and 260 g of N and KSO respectively per plant per year.
