Abstract

In the experiment, effect of fertigation, planting distance and irrigation levels on quantity and quality of Banana cv. Grand Naine, significantly maximum bunch weight ( 37.67 kg/ha), maximum number of fingures/bunch (181.80) and yield (229.30 t/ha) was recorded treatment in T19, Dl1F1 Similiarly maximum (258.75g) unripe and (206.25 g) ripe fruit weight along with maximum pulp weight (161.75g) was recorded in T19,D111F1 Minimum skin weight (12g/fruit) was observed in T1, D, I F1, while maximum skin weight (45.50g/fruit) was noted in T17, D,I3F, Minimum weight loss (21.00g/fruit) was recorded in T DI1FI. The maximum TSS (25.90° Brix) was observed in T,, D,
