Bananas are heavy feeders. Metzer fertigation systems deliver nutrients directly to the roots, enabling yield gains of 25–30% and up to 100 tons/ha in top-performing fields.
Bananas require 30–40 cm dripper spacing and dual or triple lateral rows. Metzer tailors layout based on slope, soil, and plant density—ensuring optimal coverage.
Pulse irrigation delivers small, frequent water doses, improving moisture retention and oxygenation in the root zone. It helps prevent root disease and supports stable growth.
Yes. Metzer’s CleanLine driplines resist clogging from high-organic water, supporting the use of TWW without compromising system life or plant health.
Metzer uses 2–3 laterals per row with pressure-compensated drippers like VERED and ADI for uniform water delivery—ideal for shifting plant rows and variable soil conditions.
High EC levels reduce growth, bunch weight, and biomass. Bananas are highly salt-sensitive, and require irrigation with water below 1 dS/m EC to avoid yield loss.
Bananas are shallow-rooted, sensitive to both drought and overwatering, and react quickly to moisture deficits. Consistent irrigation is critical to avoid stress and ensure healthy development.
