“…The adjusted linear regressions between the midrib of the 3 rd leaf of the banana tree in function of the application of P doses in the soil were significant at 10; 5 and 5% probability in the first, second and third cycle, respectively (Figure 1).The adjusted regressions between the petiole of the 3 rd leaf and the P doses applied to the soil were significant at 5% probability only in the second and third cycle ( Figure 2) and the adjusted linear regressions between the midrib of the 7 th leaf in function of P doses application in the soil were significant at 5% probability only in the third cycle ( Figure 3). There were no significant regression adjustments between the limb of the 3 rd leaf in function of the P doses applied to the soil in the three production cycles, confirming the results obtained by Silva & Rodrigues (2013) and Bolfarini et al (2016). The average P contents found in the blade of the 3 rd leaf were 1.9; 1.8 and 1.7 g kg -1 in the first, second and third cycles, respectively, presenting within the range of sufficiency (1.5 -1.9 g kg -1 ) established by Silva et al (2002).…”

The aim of this study was to identify the leaf and its part with greater sensitivity to detect P variation in the ‘Prata anã’ banana plant. The experiment was carried out in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, in a clayey Oxisol. A randomized complete block design was used, with six P doses (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 g family-1 year-1 of P2O5) and four replications. In the plants beginning the emission of the bunch in the first, second and third cycle of the banana tree, the 3rd and the 7th leaves were collected from the apex, from where 10 cm of the center of the limbs were removed, eliminating the midrib, 10 cm of the petiole and 10 cm from the midrib and 10 cm from the 1 leaf limbs. The midrib of the third leaf showed greater sensitivity to detect the variation of the P content in the banana tree when the content of this nutrient varies in the soil, and can be indicated to be used in the diagnosis of P in the ‘Prata anã’ banana tree. The third leaf limb from the apex is not the part of the leaf indicated to perform the diagnosis of P in the banana ‘Prata anã’ as recommended in the literature.

“…According to these authors, this part of the leaf may not be suitable for use in the diagnosis of P content in the banana tree. Bolfarini et al (2016) found Similar results. For Lahav and Turner (1983), the analysis of the petiole or the midrib may be better than that of the limbs to diagnose the P content in the banana tree.…”

Agronomic performance of Banana ‘FHIA 18’ in response to phosphate fertilization

et al. 2020

Phosphorus (P) use efficiency can be improved for banana (Musa ssp.) crops. The recommended phosphate fertilization rates can be reduced, depending on the cultivated genotype. The goal of this study was to identify the most appropriate P fertilizer recommendation for the banana cultivar FHIA 18. The rates of P applied in three production cycles were as follows: 0 (without fertilization), 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 kg ha −1 of P 2 O 5 yr −1 . The cultivar FHIA 18 requires an application of 55% of the recommended P fertilization (22 kg ha −1 P 2 O 5 ) in the second and third cultivation cycles to reach maximum growth because of the increased pseudostem diameter. The results showed an increase in available soil P with increasing levels of phosphate fertilizers. Furthermore, the maximum P content in diagnostic leaves was obtained with 90% of the recommended phosphate fertilization rate (36 kg ha −1 of P 2 O 5 yr −1 ).Yield increased with increasing P 2 O 5 levels, reaching a maximum value (62.93 kg −1 plant −1 yr −1 ) with a lower P 2 O 5 level than that recommended for other banana cultivars in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Thus, the cultivar FHIA 18 requires 26 kg ha −1 of P 2 O 5 to reach its maximum yield.Abbreviations: FHIA, Honduran Agricultural Research Foundation; P, phosphorus; PRI, P response index; PStD, pseudostem diameter.

“…It is present in more than 130 countries, reaching more than 116 million tons produced worldwide (Amah et al, 2019;FAOSTAT, 2021). Its success and high consumer demand are due both to the versatility, in terms of modality of use (processed, fried, boiled, in natura), and to the attributes related to flavor, smell, nutritional value, price, hygiene and ease of consumption (Bolfarini et al, 2016). Additionally, it can be produced throughout the year, what makes it a more attractive species for producers.…”

Now days there has been an increase in the consumers demand for great food, produced in environmentally cost-effective and friendly processes, being increasingly necessary new cultivation techniques able to ensure the required standards for banana growers and consumers. Therefore, the research aimed to evaluate the effects of bunch cover materials on development and quality of ‘BRS Platina’ banana fruits. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with six treatments, four replications and four plants per plot, being the treatments: WB – without bagging; BBTK – black polypropylene bag (TNT) + kraft paper; BBPK - black polyethilene bag + kraft paper; KP – kraft paper; WBT – non-woven polypropylene white bag (TNT) and WBP - white polyethylene plastic bag. The ‘BRS Platina’ banana bunches cover improved fruits quality and the treatment polyethylene white bag (WBP) can be an advantageous option for the banana growers because of its effectiveness on the reduction of damages caused by flowers thrips (Frankliniella spp), providing a good agronomic performance and also does not delay the harvesting.
