| Experiment Title | EVALUATION OF BANANA SELECTIONS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE (B) GUJARAT BANANA 2- PRASADAM (OBSERVATION TRIAL) | ||
| Research Type | AICRP Research | ||
| Experiment Background | Banana is the most important crop grown in South Gujarat. Banana crops are all affected by various diseases. The symptoms are visible in leaf, stem, flower, fruit and roots and suckers. The major diseases that affect the leaf area black and yellow Sigatoka or Eumusae leaf spot, Xanthomonus wilt and fusarium wilt which can severely affect yield and fruit quality. To address these issues, researchers have developed disease-resistant banana varieties like Gujarat Banana 2 -Prasadam. To grow early maturing banana variety Gujarat Banana 2 –Prasadam which gave 50.13 t/ha fruit yield, which is 5.5, 65.8, 13.8 and 12.3 per cent higher than checks Peyan, Rasthali, Red banana and Ney pooven, respectively. This genotype produced 130.2 kg fruits per ha per day, which is 10.0, 74.3, 52.3 and 18.1 per cent higher than checks Peyan, Rasthali, Red banana and Ney pooven, respectively. The proposed genotype has medium plant height with early maturity and conical shape loose bunch. The proposed genotype has comparable average fruit weight 99.3 g and pulp weight per fruit 76.7 g as compared to checks Peyan, Rasthali and Ney pooven, while lower peel weight per fruit (22.7 g) and higher pulp to peel ratio (3.39) as compared to all check varieties. The insect-pests did not appear during evaluation period of the genotype. This variety is specifically bred for its resistance to common banana diseases, ensuring higher productivity and their excellent fruit quality. The new experiment is planned to study the disease resistance in banana crop variety. | ||
