Manual on the Nutrition and Fertilization of Banana

Cost: $20.00 each

Size: 8.5 x 11 inches

Item#: 95-1025

This 54-page publication emphasizes modern concepts of soil fertility and mineral nutrition in banana production, particularly diagnostic procedures which allow for the development of practical fertilizer recommendations for high yields. It summarizes information generated from more than 15 years of work conducted by the Costa Rican Banana Growers Association. It is presented from a perspective of efficient and economic use of mineral fertilizers and an objective evaluation of organic amendments and their contribution to the susceptibility of the banana production system. The manual has previously been available only in Spanish, popular with a range of readers including farm managers, researchers, technicians, students, and others. The English translation of the manual offers a useful resource of information on nutrition and management of this important world food crop.
