A field experiment was conducted to access the effect of different biofertilizers on growth and yield of ratoon crop of tissue cultured banana cv. Grand Naine. The experiment was laid out in RBD with 5 treatments, each replicated four times. The experiment consisted the application of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) and RDF was combined with organic manure and biofertilizers (Azospirillum, Azoctobactor, Phosphorus solubilising bacteria) at different combinations to know their effect on growth and yield of ratoon banana viz : T 1 (control), T 2 (100% RDF, 300💯300 g NPK/plant), T 3 (100% RDF +75g biofertilizers: Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB 1kg each in 25 kg of vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1), T 4 (100% RDF +100 g biofertilizer: Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB 1kg each in 25 kg of vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1) and T 5 (100% RDF +125 g biofertilizer : Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB 1kg each in 25 kg of vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1). There was a positive response in plant growth in term of height and girth. Application of 100% RDF +125 g of biofertilizers in 3 split doses (T 5) recorded better growth in tissue culture banana follow by T 4 and T 3 and the treatment recorded better physiological activity in term of ascorbic acid content and pulp: peel ratio. Yield attributing characters like bunch weight, number of hands per bunch and number of finger per bunch also maximum in T 5 .
A field experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 5 treatments and 4 replications consisting of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) and RDF was combined with organic manures (FYM & Vermicompost) and biofertilizers [azotobacter, azospirillum and Phosphate solubilising bacterial (PSB)] at different combinations to know their impact on yield and soil fertility status of tissue culture banana during 2013 and 2014. The experiments consisted of five treatments T 1 (control), T 2 (100% RDF (300💯300 g NPK)/plant), T 3 (100% RDF +75 g biofertilizers), T 4 (100% RDF +100 g biofertilizer) and T 5 (100% RDF +125 g biofertilizer). The biofertilizers are applied in form of Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB inoculated with organic manure (FYM & Vermicompost). The study indicates the best results in post harvest soil characteristics like organic C, EC, pH, available N, P and K value.

Abstract. Handayani T, Dewi TK, Martanti D, Poerba YS, Antonius S, Witjaksono. 2021. Application of inorganic and liquid organic bio-fertilizers affect the vegetative growth and rhizobacteria populations of eight banana cultivars. Biodiversitas 22: 1261-1271. Banana (Musa spp.) is generally cultivated subsistent as backyard crop or intensively in plantation with application of large amounts of inorganic fertilizers to improve yields. An application of bio-fertilizer may reduce the use of inorganic fertilizer and therefore may ensure sustainable production including banana production. This research evaluated the application of liquid organic bio-fertilizer (LOB) and inorganic fertilizers on vegetative growth and soil microbial population of banana plants. The LOB and inorganic fertilizer were tested in composition of (i) 100% inorganic fertilizer (NPK), (ii) 50% NPK + 100 % LOB, (iii) 100% LOB; on eight banana cultivars, i.e., Mas Kirana (AA), Cavendish (AAA), Barangan (AAA), Raja Bu...
Bio Fertilizer on Rachis: A New Method Facilitates Higher Banana (Musa sapientum) Production
2019
Background and Objectives: Due to huge demand and availability of Banana, innovative cost effective method is necessary to promote and smoothen the banana production among farmers commercially mitigating the demand. Method and Materials: In this study, we feed cow dung mixture along with Urea, TSP, MoP, water to the distal part of rachis after cutting down male bud as soon as the female flowers matured into fruits (T1). The effect of this method was then compared with two control groups; one with the same strategy except fertilizer applied on root following ring method (C1, Positive control) and another was male flower untouched without applying fertilizer on rachis or root (C2, Negative control). Results and Conclusion: T1 showed more than double increase in length than controls. In the same way, in case of shape (diameter), T1 (0.46 cm) showed twice as better growth in the C1 (0.22 cm) and C2 (0.18 cm). Trend analysis showed the test group T1 curve is much steeper than the control...
Response of Williams Banana Plants to Some N,P,K, and Bio-Fertilizers Fertigation in Sandy Soil
Egyptian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2012
This investigation was carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons on the first and second ratoons of Williams banana grown in sandy soil to study the effect of three NPK rates (600,100,800 & 400,75,600 & 300,50,400 N, P 2 O 5, K 2 O actual g/plant/year). Two types of biofertilizers microbien"N-fixation bacteria contained Azotobacter + phosphorus dissolving bacteria Bacillus brevis" and Potaplus"Potassuim dissolving bacteria Bacillus circulans" were divided to four different rate levels of biofertilizers (0, 25, 50 and 75 ml/plant) added into 5 equal doses as a liquid suspension during the first week of April to August. Results revealed that the highest NPK rates (600,100,800 N, P 2 O 5, K 2 O actual g/plant respectively) recorded the greatest vegetative growth (pseudostem highest and circumference as well as assimilation area), bunch weight and yield compared to other rates of fertilization, also it decreased the period to bunch shooting and fruit harvesting. Add biofertilizer led to an improvement in both vegetative growth and productivity. The rate of increase in vegetative growth represented by the length of the pesudostem to 18.75% and the pesudostem circumference to 16.65% and the assimilation area of the plant 17.30% compared to NPK alone. This may be due to the increase in leaf N and K content. Plants received NPK at 400,75 and 600 in addition to 75 cm/plant/year microben biofertilizer gave similar growth and productivity those reseved the higher NPK dose(600,100,800) It was also noted that the addition of enriched biofertilizer microben given the highest bunch weight and productivity than the addition of enriched biofertilizer potaplus during the seasonal study.

Considerable attention has been given to the development of new nutritional management strategies that can contribute to banana production be overestimated. The present study was motivated by the possibility that fertilizer application in front of the daughter plant might be more effective than application to the total banana production area. This study aimed to determine the most suitable site for soil collection to evaluate the chemical properties when fertilizer is applied in front of the daughter plant; to evaluate the efficacy of organic-mineral fertilizer in terms of soil nutrient availability, and to evaluate the effect on banana production. The experiment was conducted in three consolidated areas of banana plantation in Santa Catarina State. The effects of the combination of two main factors were evaluated: three fertilizer sources (mineral, mineral + organic compost or organic-mineral) and two application management (total area or in front of the plants), together with time (three years) and location (three municipalities). Each treatment was evaluated using a grid containing 20 banana plants (spaced at 2.5 × 2.5 m), with three replications of two plants in the central part. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with three replicates. The use of a mineral source reduced the pH over the years, regardless of the application technique. Application of fertilizers in front of the daughter plant increased available P and K in the soil, compared to the application of fertilizers to the total area "uniformly distributed between banana planting lines and between plants". In addition, the increase in soil P content was higher using organic-mineral sources. The nutrient contents in the banana leaves did not differ according to the fertilization source. The application of fertilizers in front of the daughter plant optimized banana fertilization and increased fruit production. Under these fertilization conditions, soil for chemical analyses should be collected at around 0.70 m from the site of fertilizer application.
Effect of bio-fertilizers on biological nitrogen fixation of banana cv. Giant Cavendish
The effect of bio-fertilizer was studied in banana accessions intensively collected from ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Mizoram Centre, Kolasib, Mizoram during 2009-2010. To assess the efficacy of different bio-fertilizer viz., Azospirillium, Azotobacter and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) either alone or in combination was applied 20g per plant with recommended dose of FYM. The six treatments were arranged in a Randomized Block Design in three replications and spaced at 2.5 × 2.5 m in order to study its effect on growth, yield and quality attributing traits. All the characters were significantly increased except number of suckers and number of leaves due to application of each of the two-bio fertilizers either separately or in combination. Moreover in combination of Azotobacter + PSB 20g per plant showed that more effective than either combination or in separately of another bio-fertilizers. This might be due to because biological nitrogen fixation depends appreciably...
Effect of NPK fertilizer on growth and yield of banana in Northern Oman
2009
Banana is the leading fruit crop in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It represents the second most important fruit crop after date palm in the Sultanate of Oman, a subtropical arid country in the Middle East. Banana is grown as an intercrop throughout Oman but it is commercially cultivated on a large scale in the Dhofar (southern) region of and in Al-Batinah (coastal) region in the North. A field experiment was carried out in the traditional banana growing district, Al-Suwaiq, in Al-Batinah Region, during 2005-2006. The objective of the study was to determine the proper rate of NPK fertilizers that would maximize the potential yield of commercially-grown banana (Musa acuminata Colla, Cavendish cv. 'Williams'). Three levels of chemical fertilizers were applied, viz. N (300, 600 and 900 g/ mat/yr), P (50, 100 and150 g/mat/yr) and K (250, 500 and 750 g/mat/yr) in addition to non-fertilized control (no NPK applied) treatment. The results indicated that vegetative growth parameters (that is, leaf number, leaf area, stem height, and stem circumference) of non-fertilized control plants were neither significantly different nor produced better vegetative growth when compared to fertilized plants. The fertilizer treatment T3 consisting of N (600 g/mat /yr), P (100 g/mat /yr) and K (500 g/mat /yr) numerically influenced the yield and fruit characteristics like total bunch weight, middle-hand weight and number of fingers per middle-hand, of 'Williams' banana as compared to other treatments. Hence, this fertilizer dose of NPK was recommended for cultivation of 'Williams' banana in northern coastal region of Oman.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, banana is the third largest source of starch after cassava and maize and is the primary fruit crop. However, its cultivation remains secondary due to its high mineral demand, the infertility of tropical soils (ferralsol) and the low income of farmers. The dynamics of mineral elements and the understanding of its influence on crop growth are a necessity for a better use of fertilizers and an optimal crop production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of organo-mineral amendment inputs on banana growth and

The aims of our study were to compare the effectiveness of poultry manure (PM) and banana waste (BW), with regard to their use as inoculant carriers of a bacterial consortium constituted by strains of Azospirillum, Azotobacter and P-solubiliser bacteria and to establish the most efficient dose of biofertilizer for a soil cultivated with banana (Musa paradisiaca AAA Simmonds), with respect to improving plant performance and soil physical and microbiological properties. Six months after planting, plant growth had increased with increase in dose of the biofertilizers applied. The biofertilizer prepared on BW enhanced the density of P-solubiliser bacteria, the concentrations of available P and foliar P to a greater extent than with the biofertilizer prepared on PM. The increases produced by the biofertilizer prepared on PM for the soil aggregate stability, enzymatic activities and the labile carbon fractions were highly correlated to the dose applied. Both biofertilizers can be considered potentially useful as inoculant carriers of PGPR but the usefulness of BW appears to be restricted to moderate doses of application ( 3%).
