Analysis of best treatment and variety based on nematode population on banana using artificial neural networks

摘要

India is a largest producer of banana in the world. It accounts for 31.7 percent of the total fruit production in the country. The entire part of the plant is used for various purposes. Owing to its multifaceted use and high economic returns it is referred to as "KALPATHARU" (plant of virtues). Lesion nematodes causing rotting ofroottissues affects water and nutrient uptake as well as plant anchorage. Fruit quality is adversely affected and plant topple easily even in the absence of winds.
