Effect of ENTEC Stabilized Nitrogen on the Yield and Quality of Banana under Fertigation
Ecological nitrogen technology (ENTEC), a stabilized fertilizer with a nitrate inhibitor, can reduce nitrogen application rate by less nitrate leaching and save labor in European for many crops. In order to reduce nitrogen rate and save labor input in China's banana production, a field experiment was carried out in Nanning to investigate the effects of ENTEC on the yield increase of banana and its quality improvement, and the benefits and coat analysis was estimated thereafter. The results showed that ENTEC increased banana yields over traditional fertilizers management by 11%, the rate of nitrogen from ENTEC applied is less than that from traditional fertilizers at 200 g N per plant. Although cost of ENTEC is higher than that of traditional fertilizers, the benefit of ENTEC is also higher which compensates for the higher input cost of ENTEC, In summary, that fertilized banana with ENTEC is economical viable which offers a new perspective for banana nutrients management under fertigation.
