Abstract

The study was carried out in Akressi banana farm (Aboisso, Côte d’Ivoire). It focused on the banana growth and it resistance to Black Sigatoka. Three doses 1 Kg + 50 ml/ha, 2 Kg + 100 ml/ha and 3 Kg + 150 ml/ha of the fertilizer Herbagreen® were used compared to a control. The product was applied on the leaves during the growth period. The results showed that Herbagreen® had a positive effect on growth period and chlorophyll content of leaves. The highest leaves number and chlorophyll contents of leaves have been obtained by 2 Kg + 100 ml/ha regardless of the observation date. There was no marked effect on the pseudostem height compared. Herbagreen® had no marked effect on the protection of leaves against Black Sigatoka. It didn’t affect the flowering date and the harvest diets age. But it haves significantly effect on the diets weight. 2 Kg + 100 ml/ha resulted in the highest regimen weight 33.266 Kg compared to the control (30.053Kg).
