Brief Description
Description : | The nutrients that are incorporated and the ratio have been identified by intensive research in identifying predominant nutrient disorders in all cultivars of Banana growing regions of Southern India considering the common limiting micronutrients by visual diagnosis, confirmed by soil and leaf analysis. The chemicals are water soluble and toxicity is avoided. Hence any farmer with less skill can also use it whereas the existing market formulation result in toxicity if handled improperly |
