Influence Of Organic Fertilizers On Vegetative Growth Of Banana (Musa Paradisiaca L.) Under Precision Farming

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at sendarappati village, salem district during the year 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively. An experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) and comprising eleven treatments combination with three replications. The results revealed that the treatment T8-80% RDF + Cow urine @ 4 Liter/plant in two split doses significantly maximum growth parameters pseudostem height (263.64 cm), pseudostem circumference (76.69 cm), number of green leaves per plant (12.74), peduncle length of male bud (46.68 cm), peduncle width of male bud (20.27 cm), male bud size (33.54 cm length and 32.74cm girth) and decreasing days taken from planting to shooting (241.38), days taken from inflorescence emergence to harvesting (97.03) and plant crop cycle (338.41). Followed by T7 – 100% RDF + Cow urine @ 2 Liter/plant in two split doses and T6 – 80% RDF + Vermiwash @ 4 Liter/plant in two split doses during both the years 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively.
