| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled “Response of Banana cultivars to various doses of Nitrogen (Musa Paradisica L. and Musa accuminata L.)” was conducted at nursery No. 4, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture Dr. B. S. K. K. V. Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during the year 2017-19. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with fifteen treatment combinations and three replications. The experiment was conducted as per the approved outline of research work from December 2017 to March 2019. Two factors were studied during the investigation viz., different varieties - V1 (Konkan Safed Velchi), V2 (Red Banana), V3 (Grand Naine), as main plot treatments and Nitrogen levels viz., F1 (200:100:100 NPK g/plant), F2 (100:100:100 NPK g/plant), F3 (300:100:100 NPK g/plant), F4 (400:100:100 NPK g/plant), F5 (500:100:100 NPK g/plant) as subplot treatments. The results of investigation revealed that, all the three varieties, nitrogen levels and their interactions recorded significant variation on different vegetative parameters, flowering parameters, fruiting parameters, yield and yield attributing characters. With regards to the interaction of varieties and nitrogen levels, at 270 DAP, vegetative parameters like plant height, girth, leaf area were found to be significant; while number of leaves, leaf area index were found to be non-significant. The highest height due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen was recorded in the treatment V2F3 (308.7cm). The highest girth due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen was recorded in the treatment V2F3 (68.9cm). The least number of days required for boot leaf stage due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen were recorded significantly in the treatment V3F1 (203.7 days). The least number of days required for commencement of flowering due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen were recorded non-significantly in the treatment V3F1 (202.2 days). The least number of days required for commencement of fruiting due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen were recorded significantly in the treatment V3F3 (194.2 days). The highest bunch weight was due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen which were recorded significant in the treatment V3F3 (22.5 kg). The lowest stalk weight was due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen recorded significant in the treatment V1F4 (0.69 kg). The highest length of bunch due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen recorded significant in the treatment V3F3 (98.7 cm). Maximum number of fingers due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen was recorded significantly in the treatment V3F3 (18.4). The least number of days required for maturity due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen were recorded significantly in the treatment V3F3 (94 days). The highest yield was due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen were recorded significantly in the treatment V3F3 (22.5 kg/plant). The highest yield due to interaction effect of varieties and nitrogen was recorded significantly in the treatment V3F3 (69.3 t/ha). Among all three varieties sensory score (8.5) i.e. liked very much was obtained in Konkan Safed Velchi. Thus present investigation entitled "Response of Banana cultivars to various doses of Nitrogen (Musa paradisica L. and Musa accuminata L.)” has helped to conclude for better vegetative growth, yield and yield attributing characters along with quality parameters. To get better growth Red Banana performed well and for yield Grand Naine performed the best. For obtaining maximum yield of Banana, Nitrogen dose F3 i.e. (300:100:100 g NPK/ plant) to Grand Naine performed best. For maintaining the quality of Banana shelf life was highest in Konkan Safed Velchi with RDF i.e. F1 (200:100:100NPK g /plant). Among all three varieties maximum sensory score (8.5) i.e. liked very much was obtained in Konkan Safed Velchi. Based on the present research findings it is found that Grand Naine with fertilizer dose F3 i.e. 300:100:100 g NPK/plant was superior for yield. But these results need further conformation for at least one or two seasons, as the present findings are based on single season crop. | en_US |
