Studies on effect of Ghana jeevamrutha and liquid jeevamrutha on yield and yield attributes of banana cv. Ney poovan (AB)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of Ghana jeevamrutha and liquid jeevamrutha at different levels at Hanagal Taluk of Haveri district Karnataka. The experiment contains tens treatments with three replications laid in a randomized complete block design and the cv. Ney poovan is the commercial variety used for the study. T10 - POP recorded the maximum values for bunch length (69.87 cm), bunch width (35.08 cm), finger length (12.72 cm), finger girth (3.65 cm), finger weight (88.42 g), finger volume (81.77 cc), yield per plant (13.17 kg) and yield per acre (7.31 t). Among the different levels of ghana jeevamrutha and liquid jeevamrutha application the maximum bunch length (58.33 cm), bunch width (30.47 cm), finger length (11.10 cm), finger girth (3.33 cm), finger weight (76.67 g), finger volume (71.08 cc), yield per plant (9.35 kg) and yield per acre (5.19 t) were recorded in T9 - ghana jeevamrutha @ 600 kg/acre + liquid jeevamrutha @ 300 l/acre. Minimum values for all these parameters were recorded in T1.
