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
