“…This might be due to larger leaf photosynthetic area in Grand Naine since it had significantly more number of leaves [9]. Similar results were obtained by Lamessa [10] where Grand Naine possessed highest girth of pseudostem. This result are in line with the findings of Njuguna et al [11] that reported stem girth ranging from 43 to 76.6 cm, 77 to 90 cm [12] and 81.4 to 88.3 cm.…”

Banana is one of the most widely consumed and economically important fruit crop in the world. It is the second most important fruit crop in India after the mango with respect to area. The present experiment investigates the growth and physiological parameters like pseudostem height, pseudostem girth, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, number of functional leaves, total number of leaves per plant, days taken for phyllochron, chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance in different banana varieties under different growing conditions over a two year research period (2021 – 2022 and 2022 – 2023) at MHREC, UHS, Bagalkot, India. The experiment consisted of six treatments (T1- G1V1 – Ney Poovan under net house condition, T2 – G1V2 – Grand Naine under net house condition, T3 – G1V3 – Rajapuri under net house condition, T4 – G2V1 – Ney Poovan under open field condition, T5 – G2V2 – Grand Naine under open field condition, T6 – G2V3 – Rajapuri under open field condition) laid out in FRCBD with 4 replications. Results revealed that growth parameters such as the highest pseudostem girth, leaf length, leaf breadth, leaf area, number of functional leaves, total number of leaves per plant and chlorophyll content was found to be highest in banana variety Grand Naine grown under net house condition. Whereas, the days taken for phyllochron and stomatal conductance was recorded minimum in Grand Naine under net house conditions.

“…Banana is a perennial tropical crop belonging to the Musaceae family and is one of the most important crops in the world in terms of metric tons harvested [1,2]. It is also of economic and food importance for many developing countries [3]. The banana production system generates different by-products as (i) starchy material, rejected fruits that do not reach the commercial standard [4,5], this by-product is used for the production of flour, cattle feed, or snacks; and (ii) lignocellulosic biomass: rachis, leaf, and pseudostem [2].…”

Bacterial Nanocellulose Derived from Banana Leaf Extract: Yield and Variation Factors

et al. 2021

Bananas are one of the most important crops worldwide. However, a large amount of residual lignocellulosic biomass is generated during its production and is currently undervalued. These residues have the potential to be used as feedstock in bio-based processes with a biorefinery approach. This work is based on the valorization of banana leaf and has the following objectives (i) to determine the effect of certain physical and environmental factors on the concentration of glucose present in banana leaf extract (BLE), using a statistical regression model; (ii) to obtain Bacterial Nanocellulose (BNC), using BLE (70% v/v) and kombucha tea as fermentation medium. In addition, the physicochemical properties of BNC were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicate that storage time, location, leaf color, and petiole type are factors related to BLE concentration, which is reduced by approximately 28.82% and 64.32% during storage times of five days. Regarding BNC biosynthesis, the results indicate that the highest yield, 0.031 g/g, was obtained at 21 days. Furthermore, it was determined that the highest production rate was 0.11 gL−1h−1 at 11 days of fermentation. By FTIR, it was determined that the purification step with NaOH (3M) should be carried out for approximately two hours. This research supports the development of a circular bioeconomy around the banana value chain, as it presents a way of bioprocessing residual biomass that can be used to produce bioproducts.

“…B anana is an important fruit crop in the tropics and subtropics (van Asten et al, 2011, Hinge et al, 2022 and it is native to the tropical region of Southeast Asia (Archith et al, 2021). Banana is a leading crop in world agricultural production and trade (Lamassa, 2021). It is an important source of livelihood for marginal farmers of Asia and South-east Asia (Sreedharan et al, 2013) and it provides staple food for more than four hundred million people worldwide (Thangavelu et al, 2021).…”

The present study was carried out in the Department of Fruit Science, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India during October, 2020 to November, 2021 to evaluate the effect of soil application of organic Nano-NPK formulation on fruit yield and quality in banana cv. Nendran. The earliest bunch emergence (164.62 days) was noticed in T7 (soil test-based KAU POP recommendation) and it was on par with T6 (45 g Nano-NPK in 6 splits). Application of 45 g Nano-NPK in 6 splits (T6) resulted in the highest number of hands bunch-1 (4.84), maximum values for length of finger (23.59 cm), girth of finger (13.26 cm), pulp-peel ratio (3.55) and total biomass yield. T6 and T7 significantly improved the bunch weight, number of fingers bunch-1, number of fingers in D hand and weight of fingers. T6 recorded the highest values for total sugars (19.94%), reducing sugars (15.17%), total carotenoids (303.67 mg 100 g-1), sugar-acid ratio (63.92), ascorbic acid content (2.2%) and moisture content (24.95%). T6 recorded the highest peel thickness (3.06 mm), which was on par with T7. T6 (45 g Nano-NPK in 6 splits) also recorded the longest shelf life (10.15 days) and the fruits took longer time for ripening (6.32 days). The study revealed that the application of 45 g granular organic Nano-NPK in 6 splits along with 10 kg FYM and 100 g lime plant-1 year-1 increased the overall growth, yield and quality of banana cv. Nendran with high net income and B:C ratio.
