Experiment code 16.2.7 (16th AAGRESCO Horti)
Experiment Title Evaluation of different organic inputs in banana
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background The “Green revoluation" Characterized by the use information of high yielding varieties. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides which led to a large increase in yield. The increased in productivity also increased used of pesticides causing serious damage to the environment and soil as well as human health. This become a major concern where the consumers are aware of health hazard and started demanding the purely organically grown food. The awareness has been also increased in the farming community about hazardous polluting effect of excess chemical fertilizers and pesticides on soil, water and environment. The farmers are now turning towards integrated nutrient management system or organic farming system. There are many resources of organic plant nutrients. Therefore the present investigation is proposed to standardization organic nutrients application schedule in banana for integrated nutrient management.
