Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the influence of drip irrigation and fertigation on the growth and development of banana cv. Barjahaji (AAA). There were significant differences on growth parameters as influenced by different treatments. The plant under drip irrigation with 0.75EpR and fertigation with 100% recommended dose of N& K through drip showed a strong influence on plant morphology in terms of pseudostem height, girth, number of leaves, leaf area, leaf area index, flowering and crop duration whereas lowest phyllochron and highest total number of leaves were recorded under drip irrigation with 1.00 EpR and fertigation with 100 % recommended dose of N&K through drip
