How to Fertilize Banana

Updated: Feb 13

Banana is a heavy feeder and responds well to organic manuring.


Banana trees will thrive throughout the growing season if it is fertilized regularly with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).


Incorporate lots and lots of cow dung manure and plenty of chicken manure every 6 months after planting your bananas.


Loosely dig the topsoil the soil around the banana tree and apply 5 kgs of cattle compost in an even circle around the base of the stem around the tree and cover them with soil.


Wood ash can also be applied along withe the compost to provide potassium for the bananas


Then mulch them very thickly. And keep mulching and feeding them


Liquid Fertilizer like Fish Amino or Panjakavya can also be use as a balanced fertilizer on a regular basis as it contains all of the micro and secondary nutrients the plant needs. Mix the fertilizer with the water and apply as you irrigate each time
