Atmosphere for Banana Cultivation

Banana develops at an elevation of 1200 meters from ocean level in a warm and sticky atmosphere. 20⁰C-35⁰C is the most ideal temperature go alongside an abnormal state of stickiness for banana cultivating in India. The development gets hindered beneath 20⁰C or more 35⁰C. They set aside longer opportunity to develop in cooler atmospheres while the development and yield is diminished at bring down moistness and temperature. A normal yearly precipitation of 1700 mm appropriated uniformly during the time supports great development and palatable yield.

Season for Banana Cultivation

Tissue culture banana development gives more flexibility as tissue culture banana assortments can be planted whenever of the year according to the market requests.

  2. Span of the cultivar (long or short)
  3. Soil for Banana Plantation

For effective banana estate, great permeable, fruitful soil with rich natural substance is important since it is a substantial feeder. What's more, they have a confined root zone in this manner; seepage and profundity of the dirt are two imperative factors that must be considered.

This is critical from the perspective of development and efficiency of banana tree. Water system is done once per week when the atmosphere is cool and once in each 3 days under hot conditions. Trickle water system, trench water system and surge are a portion of the regular water system frameworks took after for development of banana. Every one of them have their own benefits and bad marks.

A few agriculturists pack the pits with cultivate yard compost, phorate and neem cake, water the field and afterward abandon it in that capacity for 3-4 days. This progression causes the compost to get blended with soil and furthermore settle the free soil. In places where there is high mugginess however temperature can fall upto 5⁰C, the separation is kept t 2.1 X 1.5 m.

Agriculturists rehearse high thickness banana development wherein upto 2000 plants can be obliged in one section of land.

Daylight may demonstrate inconvenient to the time span of usability of bananas. The pack must be 75% ready, entire, and free from wounds, imperfections and green in shading. The group is cut with a solitary stroke and the latex is permitted to stream openly.

Once the stream stops, they are conveyed to sheds and should not be permitted to interact with the dirt. In this way, they are put on leaves spread on the ground. Once the treatment is done, they are gathered in gunny sacks.
