Abstract:
The present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of precision farming on fruit nutrient content of banana cv. Rajapuri (AAB) during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with thirteen treatments which are replicated thrice. Significant differences was observed among treatments tested for fruit nutrients. The results revealed that application of application of 100 per cent RDF through fertigation at weekly intervals along with polythene mulch with foliar spray of micronutrient mixture recorded the highest nitrogen (1.36%), phosphorous (0.19%), potassium (1.83%), calcium (0.71%), magnesium (0.56%) and iron content (33.62 ppm) in banana fruits which was on par with application of 75 per cent RDF through fertigation at weekly intervals along with polythene mulch with foliar spray of micronutrients.
