Description An experiment was carried out to ascertain the “Studies on influence of denavelling and stalk end application of nutrients on yield and quality of banana cv. Dwarf Cavendish” at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design (RBD) replicated thrice, with eleven treatments and the data on the effect of denavelling and stalk end application of nutrients on yield and quality were recorded and statistically analyzed.
The treatments were imposed by excision of male bud i.e. 5-7 days after opening of the last hand in the bunch and immersing the rachis / stalk into the plastic bag containing different treatments of cow dung slurry.
The treatment consisted of fresh cow dung (500 g), water 250 ml and a combination of different concentrations of AS (10 g & 20 g), SOP (10 g & 20 g), KNO3 (10 g & 20 g) and KH2PO4 (10 g & 20 g).
The results revealed that denavelling of bunches improved yield irrespective of treatments. The bunch characters in terms of bunch yield (73.10 t / ha), bunch weight (20.57 kg), weight of the hand (2.60 kg), weight of the finger (127.66 g) was observed maximum in denavelled bunch treated with combination of 500 g of fresh cow dung slurry with 20 g of SOP (T7) as compared to control.
Finger parameters of the bunch like finger length (18.43 cm), finger circumference (12.90 cm), weight of the pulp (109.16 g), weight of the peel (42.31 g) was observed maximum in denavelled bunch treated with combination of 500 g of fresh cow dung slurry with 20 g of SOP as compared to control.
Quality parameters of the bunch were also influenced markedly. Highest T.S.S. (17.16 0Brix), reducing sugar (8.23 %), total sugar (17.10 %), ascorbic acid (6.60 mg / 100 g) and sugar to acid ratio (68.4) were increased by a treatment combination of fresh cow dung slurry 500 g and SOP 20 g. Other treatment combinations also showed improvements in bunch weight and quality parameters as compared to the control.
Post harvest parameters of the bunch like PLW (10.60 %), days to ripening (5.50 days) and shelf life (7.56 days) observed maximum in T7 (denavelled bunch treated with combination of 500 g of fresh cow dung slurry with 20 g of SOP) as compared to control.
From the present investigation, it was found that the treatment imposed to the denavelled bunch with the combination of fresh cow dung slurry 500 g and SOP 20 g, proved to be best for yield and quality improvement in banana cv. Dwarf Cavendish
