Bananas are in high demand during the Spring Festival and National Day periods, offering good market prices and high profitability. Therefore, effective banana management during spring is essential to maximize yield. Here are some key practices to ensure healthy growth and higher production:
1. **Soil Preparation and Base Fertilization**
For bananas that were harvested late, it's important to clear the garden and apply basal fertilizer promptly. Loosen the soil and adjust irrigation ditches. Remove old banana plants, dead leaves, and weeds, then bury them in deep trenches and sprinkle lime powder. Around the base of the banana plants, apply organic fertilizer—7.5–10 kg of pig manure mixed with 0.5–1 kg of phosphate fertilizer, or use specialized banana fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer at 2–2.5 kg per plant.
2. **Timely Top Dressing**
Once the stalks have been fertilized, ensure timely application of nutrients and water. When temperatures rise above 20°C, apply 100–150 grams of urea diluted in water or combine with manure water to promote new root development. Apply this every 7–10 days. For young seedlings, use a thin layer of fertilizer to avoid root damage. As the banana leaves start to grow, around late April to early May, apply a heavy dose of fertilizer: 10 kg of farmyard manure, 0.5 kg of phosphate fertilizer, and 15–20 kg of mixed fertilizer as ground dressing. Cover with a thin layer of soil to support healthy growth.
3. **Remove Excess Suckers**
After selecting the best successor buds, remove any excess suckers promptly to concentrate nutrients on the mother plant’s growth.
4. **Foliar Feeding**
To supplement nutrients quickly, apply foliar fertilizer after new leaves emerge. Every 7–10 days, spray with 0.2% urea plus 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or use high-quality products like multivitamin solutions or high-potassium sprays. You can also use Zhifeng Farm Fun for enhanced plant health.
5. **Pest and Disease Control**
After clearing the garden and preparing the soil, apply Bordeaux mixture mixed with trichlorfon or a combination of carbendazim powder to prevent weevil infestation and stem rot. Spray for mosaic virus and bunchy top disease. Use insecticides such as Kung Fu or Exterminator to control locusts, eliminate vectors, and immediately remove and burn infected plants. Apply Vickers for further protection.
By following these detailed steps, banana farmers can significantly improve their crop quality and yield, ensuring better returns during peak seasons.
