Abstract:
Present study is based on one year research trials to evaluate the impact of fertigation and plastic mulch on banana crop to find out the suitable treatments for enhancing physiological & quality attributes of grand naine variety of banana. Result revealed that all the physiological characters like pseudostem height (284.44 cm), girth of pseudostem (77.13 cm) and leaf area index (22.10), stayed recorded highest in treatment combination (T₉ - F₂M₂- Fertigation with 80%PE + 80% RDF + Plastic mulch) which ultimately gave the highest yield. Among quality attributes like total soluble solids (24.25 kg) and ascorbic acid (80.54 tone’s), were recorded highest in treatment combination (T₉ - F₂M₂- Fertigation with 80%PE + 80% RDF + Plastic mulch).
