Description An experiment was carried out at the Mohanpur, during 1997 and 1998 to assess the impact of retaining parent pseudostem at different height (s) on growth and yield of first ratoon sucker(s) severed/non-severed with the parent pseudostem in dwarf cavendish banana (Musa, AAA) cultivar. Giant Governor. Retention of untopped parent pseudostem gave maximum height and girth of the connected/non-servered suckers compared with the retention of parent pseudostem cut at mid height and corm level. Leaf size and total leaf production were markedly increased while bunch emergence was delayed in the connected/non-severed suckers by retaining untopped parent pseudostem. Retention of single sucker connected/non-severed with the untopped parent poseudostemexhibited highest finger weight and yield/plant over the severed suckers and parent pseudostem  cut at mid height and corm level. But the fruit yield/ha was recorded highest with retention of two suckers connected/non-severed with untopped parent pseudostem.
