Bananas are in high demand during the Spring Festival and National Day periods, offering favorable prices and significant profits. Therefore, effective banana management during spring is essential to maximize yield and profitability. Here’s a detailed guide on how to properly care for banana plants:
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 the irrigation ditches. Old banana plants, dead leaves, and weeds should be buried in deep trenches and covered with lime powder. Apply organic fertilizer around the base of each plant—7.5 to 10 kilograms of pig manure, mixed with 0.5 to 1 kg of phosphate fertilizer, or use specialized banana fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer at 2 to 2.5 kg per plant.
2. **Timely Topdressing**
Ensure proper fertilization of the banana stalks by applying nutrients and water regularly. When temperatures rise above 20°C, apply 100-150 grams of urea diluted in water or use compost tea to promote new root growth. Fertilize every 7-10 days. For young seedlings, use diluted topdressing to avoid root damage. When the banana leaves start to emerge, typically at the end of 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 compound fertilizer as ground fertilizer. Mix it into the rhizosphere and cover with a thin layer of soil to support healthy growth.
3. **Remove Excess Suckers**
After selecting the successor buds, remove any excess suckers promptly to concentrate nutrients on the mother plant, ensuring better development and higher yields.
4. **Foliar Fertilization**
To supplement nutrients quickly, apply foliar fertilizer after new leaves emerge. Every 7-10 days, spray a solution containing 0.2% urea and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, or use products like high-mesylate, multivitamin, and high-potassium foliar sprays. You can also use Zhifeng Farm Fun or similar products to enhance plant health.
5. **Pest and Disease Control**
After clearing the field and managing the old plants, apply Bordeaux mixture mixed with trichlorfon or a combination of carbendazim to prevent weevil and stem rot. Spray for mosaic and bundle top diseases. Use pesticides such as Kung Fu or Exterminator to control locusts, eliminate vectors, and immediately dig up and burn any infected plants. Regular monitoring and timely action are key to maintaining a healthy banana plantation.
By following these practices, banana growers can ensure strong growth, higher productivity, and better market returns during peak seasons.
