Description Trials were conducted to evaluate 2 banana (Musa spp.) hybrids for subsistence cultivation in India. The 'FHIA 01 'I exotic hybrid and 'BRS 01' indigenous hybrid were evaluated for 2 years at National Research Center for Banana" Trichy during 2003-05 using local Pachanadan as a standard / reference cultivar for yield and quality. Both hybrids exhibited shorter crop duration and higher yield in terms of enhanced number of hands and total nun1ber of fingers. 'BRS 01' exhibited shortest crop duration with 4 crops in 3 years. Slightly acidic fruits in both hybrids made them anlenable for different end utilities.
