Abstract:Two consecutive plantain crops were harvested from an experiment on an Ultisol with high P-fixing capacity, designed to measure the response of plantains to various levels of banded or broadcast N and to P applications at planting, as well as to residual P. N and Mg deficiencies were observed in plants from the O-N plots and verified through leaf tissue analysis. Data on yields from the plant crop can be summarized as follows: Bunch weight was significantly higher from plants receiving 224 kg/ha of banded N th… Show more
