I have some experience with foliar feeding. If I were you, I would try spraying just one plant with a solution of 3% urea, 1% ammonium sulfate and 0.05% Triton X-100. Triton X-100 is, in my...

Re: Forcing K. Namwa to grow faster

In your picture, the leaves look chlorotic which suggests a nitrogen deficiency. Also, there seems to be mostly grass covering the ground around your banana plants. From what I have read (because...

Re: The release time of nitrogen vs potassium in fertilizer
