Description |
A field experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research Station, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, during 2013-14 to study ‘’Effect of spacing and variety on growth and yield of banana cv. Grand Naine and Bantala’’ under Bhubaneswar condition. The field experiment was laid out in Randomised Block Design (RBD) with six treatments comprising of two varieties Bantala and Grand Naine with three spacings (2m×3m, 1.8m×3.6m, 1.8m×1.8m) replicated four times. Observations were recorded in plant vegetative parameters as well as on yield and yield attributing characters. The result revealed that variety Bantala exhibited higher pseudostem height , girth at harvesting time as compared to the variety Grand Naine. The number of leaves per plant was maximum in variety Grand Naine. All vegetative characters except girth were higher under the spacing 2m×3m with three plants per pit as compared to other spacings. The highest pseudostem girth was observed under the spacing 1.8m×1.8m with single plant per pit. Bantala was comparatively late variety than Grand Naine with respect to days taken for shooting and harvesting. With normal planting of 1.8m×1.8m with single plant per pit, early shooting and early harvesting were recorded. Variety Grand Naine recorded maximum number of hands, fingers per bunch and yield whereas maximum finger length and girth were recorded in the variety Bantala. Normal spacing (1.8m×1.8m) produced significantly higher number of hands, bunch weight as compared to other spacings. Due to the effect of spacings, 2m×3m with 3plants per pit produced more yield (87.8 t/ha) than 1.8m×3.6m with 3 plants per pit (83.83 t/ha) and 1.8m×1.8m with 1 plant per pit (63.26 t/ha). Grand Naine was more suitable for high density planting as compared to Bantala as it resulted in higher net return as well as benefit cost ratio (1.93). |
