Land preparation

LAND PREPARATION:-

Prior to planting of banana , incorporation of green manure and addition of other organic manure in soil is recommended. Plough the filed 3-4 times to make fine tilth of the soil and then make 1.5 feet X 1.5 feet pits. Keep the field free from weeds. Allow the pit’s soil to dry in hot sun fro 2-3 days. Mix the soil with decomposed FYM (15-20Kg), Neem cake(250gm), Thimet/Phorate(10gms) per pit thoroughly and fill up the pit tightly. Irrigate the pits copiously so that the loose soil settles. Leave the pits for 3-4 days as such. Thereafter field is ready for planting.
