Abstract: With a view to improve the weight and size of fingers of banana for domestic as well as export market, the present investigation entitled, “Bunch Improvement in Banana Cv. Grand Naine” was conducted at AICRP on Banana Jalgaon under the Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during the year 2014 - 2017. The treatments under ‘dehanding’ were no-dehanding, dehanding at 10th hand and 8th hand while treatments under bunch sprays were water spraying (control), 0.5% Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2 PO4) + 1% Urea, 2% Sulphate of Potash (SOP) and 1% 19:19:19 grade fertilizer. The dehanding of bunch after 8th hand has recorded significantly maximum finger length, finger girth, finger weight, bunch weight and yield. Under spraying treatments significantly maximum finger length, finger girth, finger weight bunch weight and yield were found under 0.5% KH2PO4 + 1% urea spray. The pooled results of interaction under dehanding after 8th hands + spraying 0.5% KH2PO4 + 1% urea showed significantly maximum finger girth, finger weight and bunch weight. The treatment combination dehanding after 8th hands with spraying 0.5% KH2PO4 + 1% urea gave the best results in respect of yield traits, B: C ratio, sustainable yield index and sustainable value index after three series of trial.
