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).
