The effects of compost prepared from waste material of banana on the growth, yield and quality properties of banana plants

摘要

Three doses (15-30-45 kg plant) of the compost prepared from the clone of Dwarf cavendish banana were compared with farmyard manure (50 kg plant), mineral fertilizers (180 g N+150 g P +335 g K plant) and farmyard manure+ mineral fertilizers (25 kg FM+180 gN+150 g P+335 g K plant) which determined positive effects on the growth, yield and fruit quality characteristics of banana plants. The banana plants were grown under a heated glasshouse and in a soil with physical and chemical properties are suitable for banana growing. The contents of N, P, K and Mg in compost and in farmyard manure were found to be similar. Farmyard manure, farmyard manure + mineral fertilizers and 45 kg plant of compost increased growth, yield and fruit quality characteristics. According to obtained results, 45 kg plant of compost was determined more suitable in terms of economical production and organic farming than the other fertilizer types,
