- Bananas belong to the Musaceae family, and their scientific name is MUSA.
- It is grown and cultivated in a few states during the Kharif, Rabi, or both seasons.
- The banana plant is the largest flowering herbaceous plant on the planet.
- After wheat, rice, and corn, bananas are the world's fourth most valuable food crop.
- The Cavendish banana is the world's most frequently produced and consumed fruit.
- Potassium and fiber are abundant in bananas.
• Soil - Loamy soil.
• Temperature - 10°-40°C.
• pH - 5.5-6.5
• Rainfall - 1700mm.
• Susceptibility - Low pH results in Panama disease.
- The banana, being a water-loving plant, necessitates a huge amount of water to be productive.
- Banana roots, on the other hand, have a low water removal rate.
- As a result, in India, banana production should be aided by an effective irrigation system such as drip irrigation.
- The use of drip irrigation and mulching technology has been shown to increase water efficiency.
- Drip irrigation saves 56% of water while boosting yield by 23-32 %.
- Irrigate the plants as soon as possible after they've been planted.
- Maintain field capacity by applying enough water.
- Excessive irrigation causes root zone congestion by removing air from soil pores, hindering plant establishment and growth.
- As a result, drip irrigation is required for proper water management.
FOR IRRIGATION :
Irrigate your field with Power Plant Bhoomi power, Premium, and Root guard.
BHOOMI POWER 4KG/ACRE |
|
POWER PLANT PREMIUM 1 LITRE/ ACRE |
|
ROOT GUARD 2 KG/ACRE |
HOW TO USE IT?
Use Bhoomi power by following methods.
1. By broadcasting over the field.
2. Use in slurry.
3. Give it in cow dung.
4. you can also give it in dry soil.
Note: Repeat Bhoomi power and Root guard every 3 months.
- The banana is a self-renewing perennial plant.
- Bananas grow from a bulb or rhizome rather than a seed, and it takes 9 to 12 months from planting a banana bulb to harvesting the fruit.
- Rich, dark, fertile soils with consistent moisture in the air and ground, as well as sufficient drainage, are required by the plants.
PRODUCT RECOMMENDED:
Treat the bulbs of the banana plants with Power Plant Seed Treatment.
