| In a field
experiment conducted at Central Horticultural Experiment Station, Ranchi
during 1988-89, banana cv. Dwarf Cavendish was irrigated at 3
frequencies (to replace 40, 80 or 120 mm cumulative pan evaporation) and
mulched with grass cuttings or not mulched. The greatest growth and
yield were recorded with irrigation at 120 mm CPE. Mulching increased
fruit yield. |
