Abstract:
The experiment was under taken in ICAR-AICRP on Fruits, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Belagavi district, Karnataka during the year 2020-2021. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with eight treatments and three replications. The study reported that the soil application of calcium silicate @ 100 g per plant at 4, 5, 6 months after planting + foliar spray of potassium silicate at 4 ml per litre from 4th to 8th months after planting at monthly interval + bunch spray of potassium silicate at 6 ml per litre after denavelling and one month after 1st spray significantly improved the finger weight (115.24 g), finger length (13.47 cm), finger girth (12.15 cm), number of hands per bunch (8.45), bunch length (52.78 cm), bunch width (40.47 cm), bunch weight (15.70 kg), yield per hectare (48.45 t/ha) and B:C ratio (2.29:1) over control (T8) in banana cv. Rajapuri.
