Practice Name:

Castor Boost for Banana

Details

Category	Crop Protection and Disease Management
Crop	Banana
Crop Family	Musaceae
Scientific Name	(Musa paradisica)
Vernacular Name	Kela
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	Castor (Ricinus communis)
Details Of Innovation	Even after 10 months, banana (Musa paradisiacal) plants appear small. Around this time, it is essential that they receive sufficient water. While ensuring water flow, pour a small amount of castor (Ricinus communis) oil. For each acre of banana, pour four-litre castor oil in the channel. This improves the quality and production of banana crop substantially and the plants are not affected by any disease thereafter.

Only those which come after the sufficent maturation of the banana bunch are permitted to grow.” https://honeybee.org/honeybee_detailed.php?ID=7205&page=2&search_case=pest%20control%20banana Microbial control, using entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes tend to be more promising. Effective strains of microbial agents are known but economic mass production and delivery systems need further development.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1023330900707
