KMB for Banana – Sweeter Fruits, Heavier Bunches, Stronger Stems
Share
Potassium is the engine behind banana fruit quality. It controls the movement of sugars into the fruit, directly determining sweetness. It also strengthens the pseudostem, preventing lodging during storms, and improves the plant's ability to resist Panama disease (Fusarium wilt). KMB unlocks the hidden potash in your soil, delivering it to your banana plants for bigger, sweeter, and more marketable bunches.
How to apply KMB on banana:
For planting new suckers (for sweetest, heaviest fruit):
-
For powder: Take 200-250g of Bactostore's KMB powder per planting pit. Mix with 10-15 kg of well‑decomposed FYM and incorporate into the pit soil.
-
For liquid: Take 200-250 ml of Bactostore's KMB liquid and mix with the same amount of FYM.
-
Plant the sucker immediately after mixing.
For existing plants (soil drench):
-
For powder: Mix 200-250g of KMB powder in 5-10 litres of water and drench around the root zone.
-
For liquid: Mix 200-250 ml of KMB liquid in 5-10 litres of water and drench.
-
Repeat this drench every 2‑3 months.
Important tips for Alappuzha banana farmers:
-
Combine KMB with NPK consortia or PSB for a complete nutrient package.
-
Do not mix KMB with chemical fungicides – they will kill the beneficial bacteria.
