This investigation was carried out during 2004 and 2005 seasons in Oseim, Giza Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of different mixtures from organic fertilizers [i.e. Banana Compost (BC), Cattel Manure (CM), El-Katamia Compost (KC), El-Eboor Compost (EC) and El-Neel Compost (NC)] on growth, yield, fruit quality and mineral contents of leaf and fruit of Maghrabi banana. The obtained results revealed that Banana compost mixture at the rate of 25% CM + EC + NC of enhanced plant growth (i.e. plant height, circumference, green leaves number, leaf area and number of suckers). Also, it increased fruit yield (i.e. bunch weight, number of hands per bunch and number of fingers/bunch), and improved fruit quality by increasing TSS% and decreasing total acidity percentage. Moreover, it increased fruit mineral content from (N-P-K-Ca-Cu). Leaf mineral content from (N-P-K-Ca-Mg-Na-Fe-Zn-Mn-Cu) was significantly affected the by different treatments during the two seasons of this study.
