| The effect of
N (50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 g/plant), applied all at once or in split
doses (2-4 splits), on growth and yield of banana cv. Dwarf Cavendish
was investigated during 1994-97 at Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar
Islands. The best growth (height, girth of pseudostem and number of
leaves) and bunch yield were observed following application of 200 g
N/plant in 4 split doses (2, 4, 6 and 8 months after planting).
Increasing N rate from 200 to 250 g/plant delayed flowering/fruiting and
was not effective at further increasing bunch size. |
