Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: An investigation consisting of bunch feeding on banana cv. Rajapuri (Musa AAB) was conducted during 2016-17 in the farmers field in Tadasalur village in Savadatti taluk of Belgaum district. Bunch fed with combination of 500 ml of cow dung slurry and 20 g of K2SO4 increased the characters viz., bunch weight (13.20 kg), total yield (14.66 tonnes/ ha), green life (12.67 days), shelf life (9.00 days), benefit: cost ratio (2.28:1) and reduced titrable acidity (0.24 %) and physiological loss in weight (15.34 %). For most of the yield, post-harvest, quality parameters and benefit: cost ratio the minimum values were recorded in T10 (Control). Thus, the study clearly indicates that bunch feeding with 500 ml of cow dung slurry and 20 g of K2SO4 improves the yield parameters, post-harvest parameters and B: C ratio in banana cv. Rajapuri (Musa AAB).
