Abstract:A field experiment entitled “response of different month of ratooning with bunch spray of ga
3 and Ba on yield and yield attributes of banana (
Musa paradisiaca L.) cv. grand Nain” was carried out at the Instructional Farm and Regional Horticultural Research Station of the Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during 2018-19 and 2019-20. The results revealed that month of ratooning
i.e. M
2 treatment (7 month after planting) gave the maximum finger length, finger girth, length of bunch, girth of bunch, weight of bunch, weight of 3
rd hand and yield.
Foliar application of GA3 100 mg l-1 + BA 50 mg l-1(S5) after complete opening of the bunch gave significantly maximum finger length, finger girth, length of bunch, girth of bunch, weight of bunch, weight of 3rd hand and yield.
When banana cv. Grand Nain ratoon kept at 7 month after planting and foliar spray of GA3 100 mg l-1 + BA 50 mg l-1 after complete opening of banana bunch (M2S5) gave significantly maximum yield parameters like finger length, finger girth, length of bunch, girth of bunch, weight of bunch, weight of 3rd hand and yield.
