ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari to study the effect of post-shooting treatments on yield, quality and maturity of banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) cv. 'Grand Nain' during the year 2004-05. Twenty treatment combinations, consisting of two levels of sleeving viz., no sleeving (S0) and sleeving (S1) and ten chemical treatments viz., GA3 (50 and 100 mg l-1), NAA (50 and 100 mg l-1), 2, 4-D (10 and 20 mg l-1), Ethephon (0.1 and 0.2 ml l-1), Urea 2 per cent and Control (water spray) was laid out in factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The banana bunches covered with blue polythene sleeve shortened the maturity period and gave maximum production of superior quality bunches having large and better quality fruits. The banana bunches cv. 'Grand Nain' when sprayed with ethephon 0.2 ml l-1 shortened the maturity period. Whereas, bunches sprayed with GA3 100 mg l-1 produced maximum yield contributed by bigger size bunch having superior quality fingers. The interaction between sleeving treatment and chemicals failed to show any significant effect on all the characters.
