Results
Increase of 7% observed in yield of Bananas during trials at Chopda, Maharashtra
The data on growth parameters reveals that Stem Girth (FP-26.6″, ICL- 29.6″) and number of leaves (FP-16, ICL- 17) which was 11% and 13% higher than the Farmer Practice. There was no significant differentiation in number of hands and fruits/hand. The average bunch weight was 25.8Kg and 25Kg in ICL and Farmers Practice respectively. The yield/ha was 80.62 Mt/ha in ICL Practice and 75 Mt/ha in Farmer Practice. The additional returns/ha were Rs.33,750/- with an MCBR of 4.22
