Resumen
Descripción
The experiment consisted of different intensities of hand removal viz. 1,2 and 3 hands (H1 , H2 and H3 respectively) and time of hand removal i.e., immediately after opening of last hand (T1 ), one week after opening of last hand (T2 ), and two weeks after opening of last hand (T3 ). Results were statistically analysed using augmented 2 factor factorial CRD. The time of hand removal did not show any significant difference on yield while hand weight, finger weight, finger length, finger diameter and volume of finger increased with the increase in number of hands removed. It is suggested that removal of three hands between one and two weeks after opening of last hand is beneficial for improving yield and finger quality of banana cv. Martaman (Musa AAB).
