If I wanted to foliar feed my bananas I'd choose Urea-Free 20-10-20 Orchid Food and mix at the rate of 1/4 teaspoon per gallon for applications every one or two weeks. Note that the best time to apply is in early morning during dew fall.

Yes, the dosage is small compared to soil drench application -- but in comparison to roots, so is the capacity of most plants to uptake nutrients through their leaves.
