Experiment code 3.2.8.B
Experiment Title Testing the Efficacy of micro-nutrient mixtures for better yield and quality of banana under different Agro-climatic conditions (Observational Trial)
Research Type AICRP Trials
Experiment Background • The experiment has to be undertaken in a new planting field in appropriate planting season. • All the formulations need to be evaluated for their efficacy independently instead of comparative evaluation. • All the above treatments will be implemented on one ruling cultivar/ variety of the region in the field.
