There's no simple answer to your question because there are so many variables that affect the amount of fertilizer that should be applied. If you search around, you can probably find a pretty good estimate of how much of each nutrient a banana mat of a certain size will use, but the other side of the equation is how much is already available in the soil. In my heavy clay soil, what you are using would be way too much fertilizer. In really sandy soil in an area with a lot of rain, it might be too little. Having over fertilized before, I now err on the side of too little. You can always add more, and the only thing that happens when you under fertilize (provided the ratio of nutrients is correct), is the plants grow slower.
