Author(s): AR Subramanian, V Kumar, P Ravichamy and KC Siva Balan
Abstract: Studies were made on Total soluble solids (TSS), Titrable acidity (%), Ascorbic acid (mg/100g), reducing sugars (%), non-reducing sugars (%), total sugars (%), sugar-acid ratio, green life, yellow life and total life of fruits in plant and ratoon crops at national research centre on banana farm. T1 (6 kg vermicompost) was better than combination treatments in respect of quality parameters like TSS in plant crop. In the first ratoon crop, the inorganic treatment of foliar spray (T6) recorded higher TSS. The acidity both in plant and ratoon crop was the highest in the inorganic treatment of T5. (50% NPK + 50% foliar spray). The ascrobic acid content did not differ among treatments in both plant and ratoon crop. The reducing sugar content was the highest in T2 (6kg neem cake) in plant crop. In ratoon crop, the treatment T5 recorded the highest reducing sugar content.
