6-3-16 Super Fruiter Diamond R was actually designed for Fruit Trees (hardwood type) more specifically citrus. These don't need as much nitrogen as Banana plants do. The citrus trees are fully grown and only put on new leaves and fruit each year.

Banana plants must regrow their trunks & leaves for each fruiting cycle. Thus need LOTS of nitrogen for the vegetative green growth about 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs. If you want to see enormous bunches, get the plant to its proper size then feed it the 6-3-16. Stop starving the growing plant which also effects bunch size.

Sputinc7's post is correct.
