Abstract
In spite of the high establishing cost of for greenhouse, the protected cultivation of banana has gained much popularity due to the high income in Turkey. Besides, intensive use of farmyard manure is another important cost factor in the banana cultivation. The annual amount of banana trash in the plantation is appreciable; but, using this trash in the form of mulch or compost is not so common. However, some farmers are aware of the trash material and have started using it as mulch or compost. This study was carried out in Anamur, Icel province of Turkey in 2008 under greenhouse condition. Banana trash consisting corm, pseudostem, leaves and stalk was evaluated for quantity, organic matter percentage and C/N ratio. Furthermore, some macro (nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium) and micro (iron, manganese, and zinc) nutrients were analyzed in the corm, pseudostem, leaves and stalk in the plantation after harvesting the bunch.
