Abstract: The field study was conducted for three years during 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2017-18 at Banana Research station, Jalgaon (M.S.) with objectives to know the influence of de handing and post shooting sprays of different chemicals on yield and economics of banana cv. Grand naine. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block design with 12 treatment combinations and replicated thrice. First factor with de handing treatments comprising of retention of hands per bunch (no de handing, retention of 10 and 8 hands per bunch). The second factor comprising spraying twice each of water, 0.5% KH₂PO₄ + 1% Urea, 2% SOP and 1% 19:19:19. The results revealed that the treatment of retaining 8 hands, combined with two post shooting sprays of 0.5% KH₂PO₄ + 1% Urea or 2% SOP was found more economical than the rest of combinations studied. The highest net monetary return per ha. (Rs.634383), B: C ratio (2.79) and Sustainable Values Index (2.79) was recorded by treatment of retention of 8 hands + two post shooting spraying with 0.5% + 1% Urea.
