Effect of foliar phosphorus nutrition on growth and yield of Banana cv. Martaman


Author(s): L Dhanabati, SK Sarkar and FK Bauri

Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Banana Research Centre, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mondouri to study the “Effect of foliar phosphorus nutrition on growth and yield of Banana cv. Martaman” during the year 2010-2013. Maximum finger weight (135.62g), finger length (14.69cm), finger diameter (4.42 cm) and finger volume (132.44cc) were recorded in 1% disodium hydrogen phosphate (T3). The application of 3 sprays of 1% disodium hydrogen phosphate there was an increase in yield by 17.36%, reduction in crop duration by 12.66 days and increase of benefit-cost ratio by 0.75 over control. Further application of 3 sprays of 1% sodium dihydrogen phosphate also increase yield by 14.04%, reduction in crop duration by 8.03 days and increase of benefit-cost ratio by 0.73 over control.
