Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted in All India coordinate Banana research project. For Assessing comparative performance, genetic variability, character association, direct and indirect effects of different characters on yield and genetic divergence in best known 13 genotypes of Bantala banana following Randomized block design with five replications. Plant morphology and quantitative yield parameter were recorded maximum in Pseudostem girth, total number of leaves, average number of hands, finger and bunch weight was recorded in Bantala Sambalpuri (Patiapalli). Least pseudostem height, girth, bunch weight were recorded in Dakhinisagar.
