Abstract:
Banana is an important tropical fruit and is one of the oldest known fruits used for various purposes. The research on effect of INM for better growth, yield and quality of tissue cultured banana cv. Grand Naine under North Indian Condition. The objective of experiment includes to find out the effect of INM through organic, inorganic nutrient sources in combination with bio-fertilizers for higher yield of banana. The experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Garden, Department of Fruit Science, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology Kanpur (U.P.) India, during the cropping season 2019-20. The experiment was laid out in RBD with three replications and ten treatments. The results showed that application of T₇ (75% RDF of P + 100% RDF of NK + 25% FYM + 25% vermicompost + 50g Azospirillum + 50g PSB) has resulted in the maximum bunch weight (19.99kg), number of hand per bunch (11.71), number of finger in hand (19.29), number of finger in bunch (223.44), finger weight (139.12g), fruit yield per plant (31.10kg), fruit yield (95.79 t ha^-1), finger length (21.67cm) and finger girth (17.79cm).
