Banana Cultivation In India

West Bengal Produces 3.4% Of The Country's Total Banana Production. In March 2023, The State Produced 1203.728 Tons Of Bananas. Singapuri Bananas Are About 6-7 Inches Long. They Are Green When Fresh And Turn Bright Yellow When Ripe. The Flesh Of The Fruit Is White. Singapuri Bananas Are Known For Their Naturally Sweet Flavor. Banana Plants Grow Best In Well-drained, Fertile, Rich Soil That's 0.5-1 M Deep. The Soil Should Also Have A PH Of 6.5-7.5 And Contain Lots Of Organic Matter. Alluvial And Volcanic Soils Are Ideal. Bananas Are Usually Planted In Pits. The Patta Double Line Method Involves Spacing The Two Lines 0.9-1.2 M Apart, And The Plants 1.2-2 M Apart. This Spacing Makes It Easier To Perform Intercultural Operations And Reduces The Cost Of Drip Irrigation. Banana Is A Good Source Of Vitamin B6, Manganese, Vitamin C, Potassium, Dietary Fiber, Magnesium, Folate, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin A, And Iron. Some Studies Have Suggested That The Lectin In Green Bananas Could Provide Treatment For HIV.
