ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted to access the effect of different biofertilizer on growth and yield of ratoon crop of tissue culture banana cv. Grand Naine. The experiment was laid out in RBD with 5 treatments and each replicated four times. The experiment consisted the application of recommended dose of fertilizer(RDF)and RDF was combined with organic manure and biofertilizer (Azospirillum,Azoctobactor, Phosphorus solubilising bacteria ) at different combination to know their effect on growth and yield of ratoon banana viz., T1 (control), T2 (100% RDF, 300:100:300 g NPK/plant), T3 (100% RDF +75gm biofertilizers: Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB 1 kg each in 25 kg of vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1), T4 (100% RDF +100 gm biofertilizer: Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB 1 kg each in 25 kg of vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1) and T5 (100% RDF + 125 gm biofertilizer :Azotobacter, Azospirillum & PSB 1 kg each in 25 kg of vermicompost in the ratio of 1:1:1). There was a positive response in plant growth in term of height and girth. Application of 100% RDF +125 gm of biofertilizer in 3 split doses (T5) recorded better growth in tissue culture banana follow by T4 and T3 and the treatment recorded better physiological activity in term of ascorbic acid contain, Acidity, reducible, non reducible sugar, total sugar and pulp: peel ratio was maximum in T5.
Key words :
Banana, Biofertilizer, Grand Naine, Ratoon crop, Vermicompost, Yield attributes.
