Abstract
This investigation was carried out on two successive seasons of 2002/3 and 2003/4 on Williams banana grown in sandy soil under drip irrigation system receiving different rates of nitrogen fertilizer. The annual rates per plant were 200,400 and 600 g ammonium nitrate with or without HALEX biofertilizer.The tested rates were divided into 84 equal doses during the year (12 doses/month) and were added as solution by fertigation.HALEX was added once in the middle of April as 5 U plant.
The best results with regard to vegetative grGv,th and yield were obtained due to fertilizing Williams banana plants with N at 600g ammonium nitrate / plant plus 5L. HALEX biofertilizer per plant per year.
