College of Agriculture, AAU, Anand to study the “Effect of post shooting spray and covering material on bunch for yield, yield attributes of banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) cv. Grand Naine”. The experiment comprises of involving six levels of post shooting sprays namely; control, humic acid 2 %, 2, 4-D 30 mg/l, gibberellic acid (GA3) 100 mg/l, CPPU 4 mg/l and sulphate of potash (SOP) 2 % with two levels of bunch covering material viz., non- woven material bag and blue colour polyethylene sleeve (6 % perforated) bag covering.
