hello sir
Fertility of soil is very important for successful cultivation, as banana is a heavy feeder. Banana, is
one of the few fruits, which has a restricted root zone. Hence, depth and drainage are the two most
important considerations in selecting the soil for banana.Banana is grown in India on a variety of soils
Banana is essentially tropical plant requiring a warm and humid climate. However, it can be grown
from sea level to all altitudes of 1200 metres. It can be cultivated in a temperature range of 10°C
and 40°C with high humidity but growth is retarded at temperatures of 20°C and less and more
than 35°C.
It requires on an average, 1700
mm rainfall distributed throughout the year for its satisfactory growth. Stagnation of water is
injurious and may cause diseases like Panama wilt.
