While that is true, a friend of mine put it this way... Bananas have two stages, vegetative and fruiting / flowering... They must go through the vegetative one to get to the fruiting one. The faster they get through the vegetative stage, the sooner they get to the next one and plenty of nitrogen speeds up the vegetative process... Once they get to fruiting stage, stop the nitrogen and add extra MOP... Unless you are working on building your patience or just want them to take longer to fruit.
