Randomized block design assessed natural farming practices on banana yield, indicating improved growth metrics.
The present investigation was conducted during the year 2023-24 and 2024-25 at Horticulture farm, College of Horticulture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with seven treatments and three replications. The treatment consists of single, double and triple green manuring of dhaincha and sunhemp with Ghanjeevamrut applied as a basal dose per pit as per treatment 160, 240 and 320 g/plant, Jeevamrut 160, 240 and 320 ml/plant were applied to the plant in every 21 days, among this natural farming practices the higher value of pseudostem girth (70.32 cm), bunch weight (29.40 kg), finger girth (14.04 cm) and total soluble solid (23.90 0Brix) were recorded significantly with triple green manuring by dhaincha + ghanjeevamrut 160 g/plant + soil application of jeevamrut 160 ml/plant at sowing & every 21 days interval, while minimum days taken to fruit harvest was found non-significant result among different natural farming practices. It is therefore concluded that application of triple green manuring by Dhaincha + ghanjeevamrut 160 g/plant + soil application of jeevamrut 160 ml/plant at sowing & every 21 days interval increased Pseudostem girth, bunch weight, finger girth and total soluble solid of banana cv.
