Growth and yield of banana Musa (AAA group) ‘Barjahaji’ as affected by split application of potassium

The study indicated that growth characters were significantly influenced by different dose and time of application of potassium. Among the growth parameters the highest pseudostem girth (67.50 cm) and the highest leaf area index (LAI) of 4.71 was recorded under T4 [200g K2O + 100g K2O/plant (2+2 splits: 75th, 165th, 255th and 300th day after planting)].
