Environment
Banana is basically a tropical crop, grows well in varied temperature ranging from humid tropical to dry mild subtropics through selection of appropriate varieties like Grand Naine. It is a moisture- and heat-loving plant and cannot tolerate frost or arid conditions.
Deep, rich loamy soil with pH between 6-7.5 are most preferred for banana cultivation. Inadequate drained, poorly aerated and nutritionally deficient soils are not suitable for banana. Saline soil, calcareous soil, low laying areas, very sandy & heavy black cotton with ill drainage should be avoided.
