The problem with the water soluble fertilizer when applied to the ground is that it can be washed away during heavy rains or irrigation. Thus resulting in wasted $$$$. Granule regular fertilizer is formulated to dissolve slowly over time. ... However if the plants are in containers then soluble fertilizer can be applied as fertigation though the irrigation system. The lost cost of fertilizer (runoff) is off set by the reduced cost of labor & equipment to apply granular types.


Look at the forum wiki for info about type of fertilizer used for bananas.
