Banana Production and Productivity Enhancement through Spatial, Water and Nutrient Management

Bananas and plantains globally the fourth important food crop, recorded wide variation in production and productivity in most of the banana growing regions. This is attributed mainly to the variety, type of planting material used, season and method of planting besides management techniques such as w...
