DOI: INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF VARIED N AND P LEVELS ON RATOON BANANA GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Ishan Gill , Department of Fruit Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, IndiaAbstract
This study explores the influence of different nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) levels on the growth and development of ratoon banana plants. Ratoon cropping is a common practice in banana cultivation, and optimizing nutrient management is crucial for sustainable production. Through controlled experiments, the research examines the effects of varying N and P concentrations on plant height, leaf area, flowering, and yield parameters. The results provide insights into the specific nutrient requirements of ratoon banana plants, aiding in the formulation of effective fertilization strategies for enhanced growth and productivity.
Keywords
