WEST NARO 1.3 | What challenges do you face in applying mulch in your banana plantation?
Background
Bananas require a significant amount of water to grow well and yield big, quality bunches. The unreliability of rainfall even during rainy seasons and prolonged droughts have intensified the impact of water shortage on banana farmers. Therefore, farmers need to make sure that the rainwater received in their plantations is kept longer in the soil. This can be achieved in various ways; e.g. mulching. Mulching helps reduce erosion, suppresses weeds, ensures that the rainwater is retained longer in the plantation and improves soil fertility when the mulch material decomposes.
