Influence of drip fertigation on leaf characteristics and crop duration of tissue culture Nendran Banana
Author(s): Priya G and Pandian BJ
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during 2018 -2019 at eastern block farm, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, to study the effect of drip fertigation on leaf characteristics and crop duration of tissue culture Nendran Banana grown in sandy clay loam soils. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design with three levels of drip irrigation (80%, 100% and 120% PE) and four levels of fertilizer management practices viz., 75%, 100% and 125% RDF through fertigation and 100% RDF through soil application. The results of the study indicated that different irrigation levels and fertigation levels had a positive influence on leaf characteristics and crop duration of tissue culture Nendran Banana. Drip fertigation at 120% PE + 125% RDF through fertigation recorded higher leaf area (13.32 m2), LAI (3.020), number of leaves (9.3) respectively at shooting stage, leaf area duration (153.9 days) at 7 months after planting (MAP) to shooting stage, and minimum Phyllochron days (9.17 days) at 7 MAP. The same treatment recorded a minimum total crop duration of 382 days.
