The investigations on the effect of plant density and fertilizer levals on growth and yied of two varieties of banana were carried out at Regional Research Station, Brahmavar, during 1985-83, The variety Robuna has yielded 27.89 t/ha. Planting of twosuckers per hole has recorded higher yield/ha, but bunch weight and number of fruits per bunch were less compared to single tucker/hole. The progressive incseasc in yield from 19,26 to 28.03 t/ha was recorded with increase in NPK levels from 90: 54; 110,NPK, g/plant to 270:162:330 NPK, g/plant. The highest bunch yield of 37,97 t/ha was recorded in variety Robusta with two sucker/hole at highest level of fertilizer (260: 162: 330 NPR, g/plant). The highest level of fertilizer also reduced the number ofdays required for the fruit to reach maturity in both single and double suckers planting.
