Abstract
Irrigation with 1.2 IW/ETc resulted higher yield of 86224 kg/ha but
was not statistical different with irrigating with 1.0 IW/ElTc of 84507
kg/ha. More application of water could not increase the yield of banana
and considered the wastage of water. So in case of banana 1.0 IW/ETc is
considered ideal and economic. Earlier flowering, thicker girth, earlier
harvesting time, more number of leaves, higher weight of bunch, higher
yield per hectare and more number of finger have been observed in
irrigating with 1.2 and 1.0 IW/ETc than 0.8 IW/ETc.
System configurations significantly affected in banana crop.
Irrigating around the plant yielded higher than a single point or two point
application of water.
Highest gross income 641539.43/ha and net income 565392/ha
were found in irrigation application at 1.2 IW/ETc with star emitter
system configuration. Highest benefit to cost ratio of 5.45 was obtained
in star emitter configuration scheduled at 1.0 IW/Etc.
