Resumen
Descripción
Enhancement of bunch weight together with bio-fortification with Fe and Mn was attempted in ‘Robusta’ banana byenriching with 0-1.25g bunch-1 each of FeSO4 (heptahydrate) and MnSO4 (monohydrate). Bunch yield and content of Feand Mn in the pulp substantially increased by direct nutrient feeding of bunches with 7.5g each of urea and SOPbesides 0.75g each of FeSO4 and MnSO4. The improved technique holds promise for combating anemia in humans bybio-fortification of banana with Fe besides supplemental Mn in diet.
