The aim of this paper is to evaluate gas exchanges and yield of Prata-type banana plants subjected to fertilizer sources for organic management in soil with improved fertility. Two cultivars ('Dwarf-Prata' and 'BRS Platina'), 5 K 2 O rates (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 kg ha -1 year -1 ) supplied by cattle manure and Naturalplus ® rock powder, and 2 evaluation times (8:00 am and 2:00 pm) were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 15 replicates. As for production, a randomized block design with 4 cycles and 3 replicates was used. In fertile soils, gas exchanges are little influenced by fertilization. Fertilization with increasing application rates determines a quadratic variation in stomatal conductance and internal CO 2 concentration in 'Dwarf-Prata' and a linear variation for leaf temperature and instantaneous water-use efficiency in 'BRS Platina'. Quantum efficiency of photosynthesis is higher at 8:00 am, whereas at 2:00 pm, for leaf temperature. Photosynthesis and leaf transpiration directly correlate with stomatal conductance, instantaneous water-use efficiency, and leaf temperature, while instantaneous water-use efficiency and photosynthesis inversely associate with transpiration and leaf temperature. Cattle manure and rock powder fertilizations do not increase yield in banana plants grown in soils with improved fertility.
