Abstract

The investigation on “Effect of micronutrients on growth and yield of banana (Musa spp.) cv. Red Banana (AAA)” was carried out to identify a suitable micronutrient concentration for enhancing the growth and yield of triploid banana cultivar Red Banana. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design in three replications with ten treatments. The treatments comprised of various micronutrient concentrations of NRCB Banana Sakthi applied at different intervals. The growth parameters viz., plant height, pseudostem girth, number of leaves plant-1, leaf area was found to be the highest in the treatment which received 2.0 per cent micronutrients at 45 days interval while the control recorded the least values for growth characters. Application of 2.0 per cent micronutrients at 45 days interval was most effective in enhancing the bunch and finger characters viz., number of hands bunch-1, number of fingers hand-1, total number of fingers bunch-1, length , girth and weight of the finger and weight of bunch,. It can be concluded that application of 2.0 per cent micronutrients at 45 days interval can be recommended as the best practice for enhancing the growth and yield of Red Banana (AAA).
