Guidlines for using organic manure and chemical fertilizer for banana cultivation.

1. Fertilizer should be applied when soil is in moist condition.

2. Integrated use of organic manure and chemical fertilizer is more beneficial than using either source alone. Therefore, repeated annual application of any organic manure within the canopy area is beneficial.

3. Basal fertilizer should be applied and incorporate in the soil at least 1 – 2 days before planting. Subsequent fertilizer application can be done in a circular band around the plant within the canopy area leaving about 45 cm from the main stem and incorporated in to soil.

1. Apply 2 tons of Dolomite/ha 2 weeks before planting and incorporate well in to soil.

2. Integrated use of organic manure and chemical fertilizer is more beneficial than using either type of isolation.

3. Subsequent fertilizer application should be done along the planting row and may be broadcast onto leaf bases. Avoid dropping fertilizer onto the crown of the plant.
