For your ornamental banana plants, just use the 24-8-16.

For your fruiting banana plants, use the recommended dosage of 24-8-16, plus 2/3 of that quantity of Sul-Po-Mag.

Do not use the Azomite. It throws off the desired NPK ratios - regardless of when you apply it.

If you want to apply a humic or hormone supplement that has negligible NPK content, that would be ok.
