Abstract
This paper represents a study about the use of sap of pseudostem of banana
plant as a fertilizer to mustard. An initial selection has been made and led to the
identification of different setups regarding the growth of mustard. Several setups of
mustards with different fertilizers and absence and presence of sunlight are
experimented in order to determine the difference between each of them and to easily
tell the significance of this research study. The purpose of this study is to determine
whether the use of banana sap as fertilizer will gain better results than using
commercial fertilizer, sometimes none in growing mustard. The study was carried out in
the researcher's home and yielded results every week which was noted for the
presentation of datas in the chapter four of this research study. Variables identified are
the mustard, fertilizers, and weather condition. After the gathering of data, it was
presented in a tabular form and was discussed for better understanding of results. The
findings of this study shows that the use of banana sap as a fertilizer executed better
results in the growth of mustard. It showed faster growth in shorter span of time instead
of the mustard which used commercial fertilizer and the mustard without fertilizer at all.
Thus, results of the study is helpful to those researchers who does the same study and
to farmers for better growth of mustard and reduction of fertilizer cost, and also to the
market. Suggestions and recommendations are presented at the end of this study.

Rationale of the Research
This study wants to observe the growth of the plant because without the
presence of the fertilizer, the mustard cannot grow and thrive because it needs a
number of different chemical elements. The mustard takes 90 - 100 days to reach
harvest, and the pseudostem of a banana plant is a big help to decrease the number of
days needed for it to grow.
Purpose of the Research
Purpose of the Research The purpose of this research paper is to investigate and
describe the helpfulness of the pseudostem’s extract of a banana plant in the growth of
mustard. The study aim to answer the following:
1.) Determine the difference of using chemical fertilizer and the fertilizer made from
banana extract.
2.) Analyze the importance of using fertilizer out of the extract of pseudostem of a
banana plant.
3.) Determine the effectiveness of the pseudostem of banana plant extract in
decreasing the number of days it will take to reach harvest.

Literature Survey
Banana
The bananas are thought to be predominantly sensitive to modifications in the
environment. The banana is subtle to soil water deficits, and expanding tissues such as
emerging leaves and growing fruit are among the first to be affected. Stomata close and
leaves remain highly hydrated, probably through root pressure as the soil begins to dry,
stomata close and leaves remain highly hydrated, probably through root pressure.
Productivity is affected because of the early closure of stomata.
According to Turner, the common belief that bananas use large amounts of water
does not have a strong physiological basis. Improvements in water-use efficiency in
irrigated plantations could come from a closer match between plant water use and the
amount of water applied. The banana is day neutral for floral induction, but photoperiods
of less than 12 h are associated with a slowing in the rate of bunch initiation that is
independent of temperature expressed as growing degree days. This may contribute to
seasonal variations in banana flowering, even in more tropical environments with
moderate temperatures.
Classification of banana
The banana plant belongs to Musaceae family. This family has two genera, Musa
and Ensete. The earliest classification of bananas was made by Linnaeus in 1783 when
he named all dessert bananas Musa sapientium which are sweet when ripe and are

eaten as fresh (Robinson et al., 1984). The name Musa paradisiaca was given to the
plantain group which are cooked and consumed while starchy.
Organic Farming
Organic farming is the best option for the enhancement of soil health quality and
it also improve the nutritional status of crops. Some of the liquid organic manures like
banana pseudostem sap, panchagavya, cow urine also known to improve the yield and
quality of crops. Review of literature related to effect of liquid organic manures on yield,
quality and nutrient uptake by onion and other crops as well as on soil properties are
presented (Bokare, 2013).
The liquid organic manures contains small amount of nutrients and growth
boosters. When it applied to the crops it removes the imbalances in terms of physical,
chemical and physiological aspects and harmonizes the basic element which revitalizes
the growth process (Natarajan, 2008). Numbers of experiments were conducted at
different places of India to study the effect of liquid organic manures on growth and
quality of crops.
Pseudostem of banana plant as a fertilizer
Salunkhe (2010) conducted the field experiment, to study the feasibility of using
banana pseudostem sap as a liquid fertilizer under drip irrigation at NAU, Navsari. The
result revealed that the application of banana psuedostem sap @ 2000 l/ha through

micro irrigation system increase the plant height, leaf area per plant, bulb weight,
average bulb weight and dry matter yield of onion as compared to control.
An experiment on evaluation of banana pseudostem sap as liquid fertilizer
through drip irrigation in Banana was conducted at Soil and Water Management
Research Unit at NAU, Navsari. The result revealed that the higher fruit yield was
recorded in the treatment, application of three litrepseudostem sap per plant + 80 % of
RDF. It was at par with the treatment, application of 4 litrepseudostem sap + 80 % RDF
and 4 litrepseudostem sap + 100 % RDF. Treatment, 4 litrepseudostem sap + 100%
RDF recorded significantly more number of fingers per bunch then the remaining
treatments.
Nitrogen is the chief promoter of growth. It induces the vegetative growth of the
pseudostem and leaves providing them the desired healthy green color. A broad attempt
was made to evaluate the feasibility application of banana pseudostem sap as liquid
fertilizer to soil application in increasing yield of amaranths and spinach, made to
attempt increase soil fertility level and reduce the soil pollution. Comprehensive banana

Sugar
Sugar, according to the present invention, is selected from carbohydrates or
saccharides in general, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides,
polysaccharides; or mixture thereof. According to Ushijima & Silva, invention generally
concerns a concentrated sugar additive comprising (a) raffinate derived from citric acid
recovery industry and (b) sugar-containing solution useful for controlling dust emission
from particulate materials during manufacturing, handling, storage or transportation.
Such particulate materials comprise fertilizers or mining products.
Fertilizer dust dissemination poses safety, health, environmental, housekeeping
and maintenance problems for the producers, distributors and consumers. For instance
fertilizer dust has raised health concerns due to human and animal inhalation thereof. It
is also a concern when fertilizer dust becomes airborne what can lead to the loss of
agronomic and economic value, while potentially contributing to the contamination of
surface water ecosystems (Ushijima & Silva, 2014).
Sugar as an additive to banana fertilizer
Sugar E-Boost is a natural liquid that provides energy to speed beneficial
bacterial activity in the soil and for plants. Effective for foliar and soil applications, Sugar
E-Boost can be applied at planting, as a side-dress or transplant, foliar fed, or fertigated.
Use of Sugar E-Boost aids in the development of stronger, healthier plants and can
contribute to increased yields. When used with fertilizers and/or herbicides, Sugar E-

Inc.).
Using chemical fertilizer on mustard
Chemical fertilizers have contributed significantly toward the pollution of water, air
and soil. Therefore, the current trend is to explore the possibility of supplementing
chemical fertilizers with organic ones that are eco-friendly and cost effective. Biologic
nitrogen fixation by living nitrogen fixers will help to minimize the amounts of N fertilizer
to be added, improve plant growth and decrease the production cost and environmental
risk (Aly et al., 1999; El-Hawary et al., 1998). Bacterial fertilization provided for
nonlegume crops by nitrogen fixing bacteria has shown great importance in recent
years. The effect of inoculation has a remarkable influence on the growth of plants to
increase yield. This increase might be due to the effect of nitrogen produced by bacterial
species, which, in addition to some growth regulators, can stimulate crop growth.
Mustard
Mustard plants are any of several plant species in the genera Brassica and
Sinapis in the family Brassicaceae. Mustard seed is used as a spice. Grinding and
mixing the seeds with water, vinegar, or other liquids, creates the yellow condiment
known as prepared mustard. The seeds can also be pressed to make mustard oil, and
the edible leaves can be eaten as mustard greens.
Health benefits of mustard include relief from muscular pains, psoriasis,
ringworm, contact dermatitis and respiratory disorders. Since earlier times, different

parts of mustard plant have been proven beneficial in treating cancer, diabetes, and
detoxification of the body. It has poison repelling qualities, exerts therapeutic effects on
the nerves and helps maintain cardiac health. It promotes healthy skin and hair, lowers
cholesterol and is a wonderful botanical for women during menopause (Organic Facts,
2014).
Scope and Limitation

Conclusions and Recommendations
An experiment entitiled ““The Effectiveness of Pseudostem of Banana Plant
Extract (Musa cavendish) as a Fertilizer to Mustard” was conducted at Macunat’s
residence.
Conclusions
The researchers conclude that pseudostem of banana plant extract is a major
factor for the mustard to decrease its number of days to harvest. As the researchers
conducted the study, the researchers found out that there is an element in the
pseudostem of banana plant extract that help the mustard to grow faster. Pseudostem
of banana plant has a lot of nitrogen the reason why the growth of mustard is increasing
also it can maintain the mustard to maintain its green color. The researchers also
conclude that sugar can help the growth of mustard in terms of controlling dust.
Recommendations
The researchers recommended to use the pseudostem of banana plant extract
as a fertilizer to rather than commercialized products. It will help the mustard to lessen
their budget instead of buying expensive commercial ones. It will also help the
environment for it has no chemical or toxic substance in it. The researchers also
recommend using other plants with proteins that will help the mustard to grow faster that
it is expected to be and also the researchers recommend using the Pseudostem of
Banana Plant Extract to other kinds of plants that is needed to grow.
