Two experiments using banana (Musa sp.) cultivar Kibuzi were established to determine the effect of plant spacing, height of suckers at removal and method of desuckering on growth, bunch weight and yield. In the first experiment, cultivar Kibuzi was planted at recommended spacing of 3 x 3 m. Two suckers per stool were maintained and extra suckers were removed at heights of 300 mm, 500 mm and 1000 mm by digging them out or cutting the suckers at soil level. In the second experiment, cultivar Kibuzi was planted at spacings of 2.5 x 2.5, 3 x 3 and 3.75 x 3.75 cm giving plant populations of 1600, 1111 and 711 stools ha-1, respectively. Plant height, pseudostem girth, both at 50 and 100 cm, and total number of standing leaves were significantly (P< 0.05) increased by desuckering at 300 mm while the method of desuckering had no significant effect on these growth parameters. Yield parameters were also significantly (P<0.05) influenced by stage of desuckering. The results also indicated that plant spacing and number of suckers retained per stool have no significant effect on height and pseudostem girth of the plant crop of bananas. - https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/html/1807/21658/cs99025.html |
