Removal of the bunch, leaves or pseudostem alone, or in combination, influences growth and bunch weight of the ratoon crops in two banana cultivars KU Leuven

Ratoon growth and bunch characteristics were measured on plants, in a plantation, that were treated in two seasons: one warm and sunny season, and the other cool and cloudy. Removing bunches or leaves affected growth of the ratoon in the first 3 months after treatment, and this effect ...
