ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted to find out the need of nitrogen during
vegetative and reproductive phase and to standardize optimum dose and time of
nitrogen application to tissue cultured Grand Naine banana under drip irrigation on
medium black soil. Application of nitrogen at 250 g/plant Le. 200 g/plant N in four
equal splits at 30, 75, 120 and 165 days after planting in vegetative phase and
remaining 50 g/plant N in three equal splits at 210, 255 and 300 days after planting
in reproductive phase found beneficial and economical in terms of banana yield and
monetary returns. Nutrient uptake by crop was highest in the treatment where nitrogen
was applied at 250 g/plant.
