Abstract


Foliar application of CCC 1000 ppm at 4th and 6th month after planting of banana cv. Grand Nain significantly increased the pseudostem girth, number of leaves, root volume and number of roots. However, the maximum leaf area and leaf area index were recorded in brassinolide treated plants. CCC treatment improved the number of hands, number of fingers, finger size and thereby bunch weight, yielding maximum fruit of 80.38 t ha-1. The quality parameters viz., total soluble solids, ascorbic acid, reducing sugars and total sugars were also influenced significantly. by foliar spray of CCC at 1000 ppm concentration.
