Group Banana Cultivation Method – High Yield Banana Farming for More Profit
Banana is one of the most loved and profitable crops among farmers. However, many times the traditional way of planting does not give the best returns. A new farming system called the Group Banana Cultivation Method is becoming popular because it gives higher profits, healthier soil, and additional income from banana intercrop farming.
How Does Group Banana Cultivation Work?
Instead of planting banana plants very close to each other, farmers plant them at a wide spacing of 20 to 25 feet. This means only 125 pits per acre.
At first, it may sound like fewer plants. But here’s the secret:
- 👉 Each mother banana plant naturally produces 10 to 15 suckers around it.
- 👉 If you allow these suckers to grow, you will end up with around 1,250 banana plants per acre – which is the same as the conventional banana cultivation method.
The difference is that this system makes the field more spacious, healthier, and more profitable.
Simple Banana Planting Method
- Start with one healthy banana seedling in each pit.
- Allow the mother plant to grow naturally – it produces 10–15 suckers without any extra effort.
- No harm comes to the main plant if suckers are left in place.
- Banana leaves and intercrop waste can be returned to the soil, making it fertile and disease-free.
Double Income with Banana Intercrop Farming
The wide spacing creates free land between banana plants. Farmers can easily grow intercrops like vegetables, flowers, or short-duration crops in this space.
- These intercrops give early income before banana harvest begins.
- Even if banana yield is delayed, the farmer is not dependent on only one crop.
- Risk is reduced, and income becomes steady.
Improving Soil Health in Banana Farming
Healthy soil is the secret behind a good harvest and sustainable banana farming.
- Using Dr. Soil Decomposer, all farm waste like banana leaves and intercrop residues can be quickly decomposed into rich organic manure right in the field.
- Regular use of Dr. Soil bio-fertilizers improves earthworm activity, enhances soil structure, and maintains long-term fertility.
- This ensures higher banana productivity year after year with natural soil fertility.
