Field experiment as conducted in 1999-2000 at CRS farm Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with four treatment replicated four times. The uptake of nutrient was higher for sucker grown plants compared with tissue culture plants due to greater accumulation of dry matter by the former. The spacing had no significant effect nutrient uptake by banana plants.
