A Study of Water Soluble Fertilizers and Micronutrients on fruit firmness during growing periods of Banana (CV. Grand Nain) During the present studies Different water soluble treatments with and without micronutrients treatments were applied to the banana plants of cv. grand nain cultivar. The treatments were applied for two years. The fertilizer treatment applied by conventional methods was served control. During two trial years. Average length of the two central fingers, pooled analysis and statistical analysis were worked out. Similarly the length of the two central fingers in the top row of the test banana plant under conventional method of application of fertilizers and micronutrients was recorded and served as control. It is evident that the firmness in fruits of banana cultivar grand nain was increased by the application of water soluble fertilizers through drip irrigation as compared to the control treatment. The fruit firmness was found to be more by the 75 % RDF through WSF (12:61:00, 13:0:45 and Urea) M2 treatment and it was found to be very less by the 75% RDF through WSF (Urea, Orthophosphoric acid and White potash) M4 treatment as compared to the other treatments applied during both the trial years.
