Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different
water regimes applied by drip irrigation on growth and yield of
banana cv. Grand Nain in Gizera State. Five different irrigation
regimes were applied. These were 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%
and 120% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) at a 2-day irrigation
interval. The experimental design was a randomised complete
block (RCBD) with 4 plants per plot. Banana growth
parameters increased with the increase in quantity of water
applied up to 100% of ETc. Bunch weight, total yield, number
of hands per bunch and numbers of fingers per bunch were
linearly related to the amount of water applied in the plant crop
and first ratoon. There were no significant differences in bunch
weight between 100% and 120% of ETc of mother plant and
first ratoon.
