dc.description.abstract | The experiment with tissue culture Nendran banana under different plant spacings (2.25 x 2.25 m, 2.0 x 2.0 m, 1.75 x 1.75 m, 1.50 x 1.50 m and 1.25 x 1.25 m) showed that the biomass production, dry matter partitioning and yield per plant decreased with decrease in plant spacing, while on per hectare basis it increased with decrease in spacing. The fruit quality deteriorated with decrease in plant spacing. The time taken for ripening of fruits decreased with increase in spacing, while shelf-life remained unaffected. However, the spacing 1.75 x 1.75 m was found optimum for all the characters studied. | en_US |
