Banana
Comparing Biomineral vs Conventional Systems in Sub-tropical Banana Production.
This Case Study -
1.The Biomineral grower achieved the maximum potential yield and water use efficiency for bananas.
2.This occurred using 82% less Nitrogen and 83% less Potassium when compared with the conventional grower.
3.These results optimize the profitability of banana production and can be attributed to: • the controlled release Nitrogen format of the é fertiliser.
• increasing the mineral content of the soil.
• introduction of the BioEnergetic Microbe Blend.
4. The Biomineral production system can be further optimised and applied to a wide range of crops and pastures.
Aim :
To compare the productivity and performance of banana production under Biomineral
and Conventional systems in Carnarvon, Western Australia.
Background:
A comparison of the agronomic and economic performance of the Biomineral production system and Conventional practice was conducted on two growers' properties in the Carnarvon horticultural area.
