Abstract: The study entitled “Management of Banana Bract Mosaic Virus (BBrMV) symptoms in banana with micronutrients” was conducted at College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2014 for a period of ten months. Kokkan virus affected suckers selected and confirmed for virus presence were later planted during May at the experimental site for a period of ten months till harvest.
The main objective was to evaluate the specific effectiveness of micronutrient combinations in suppressing the viral symptoms in banana plants (cv. Nendran) and to find out whether the presence of micronutrients and possible enhancement in yield. For this the field experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm using randomized block design (RBD) consisting of eight treatments and three replications. The first treatment accommodated exclusive application of POP (T1) and the second treatment accommodated POP plus secondary nutrients provided as basal dose based on soil test (T2). Next three sets of treatments were superimposed on POP recommendation and secondary nutrients for banana based on soil test values along with an Adhoc recommendation for secondary and micronutrient single, double and triple dose (T3, T4,T5). The last sets of treatments were formulated with Customized micronutrient formulations ( Zn -1%, Mn – 0.3%, Fe – 0.1%, Cu – 0.1%) were formulated and applied as single, double and triple dose (T6, T7, T8). Irrespective of the sources of micronutrients the formulations were provided in two splits particularly at two stages of growth, viz., and second and fourth month after planting. The virus titre value in the experimental banana plants were regularly monitored using ELISA test at monthly intervals from the first month onwards till the sixth month of growth to monitor the fluctuations if any occurring on account of the imposition of treatments.
