Seems to be a lot of people with PhDs making mistakes.
In a banana nursery, measurements at the base are standard.

In this paper
Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura - Development and production of banana plant 'grande naine' under different planting densities in reagions with natural occurrence of black leaf streak and this paper
http://www.bdigital.unal.edu.co/3564...69820-2-PB.pdf it is at 30 cm.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...85970519,d.eXY is at 10cm.
http://www.ijset.net/journal/278.pdf at 5cm
Bioline International Official Site (site up-dated regularly) at 50 and 100 cm
I can't find a paper that actually correlates a certain height of measurement with yield.
