Subtropical banana nutrition – matching nutrition requirements to growth demands

This is a guide about sub tropical banana nutrition – matching nutrition requirements to growth demands. This book combines plant phenology, soils, chemistry and symptoms and applies them to the basics of designing and undertaking a fertiliser program for bananas in the subtropics. The target is banana production in the subtropical regions of eastern Australia, although the principles used here are more widely applicable.

It was produced as part of the Hort Innovation Banana Fund project The New South Wales banana industry development officer (BA13025).
