Research was conducted to select the desirable cultivars of the Leb Mue Nang banana for direct consumption and for dried banana processing. Fifteen elite cultivars from Suratthani Horticultural Research Center were brought to grow for the final trial and selection at the experiment plot of Chumphon Campus, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Chumphon Province during the years 1998 to 2000. The results indicated that with systemic growing of 3*2 meters spacing and moderate cultural practices of providing irrigation water and fertilizer, weeding and tillaging had significant effects on better plant growth, higher yield production and better quality. All cultivars could grow well and produced high yield. Considering for fruit production for direct consumption and for dried processing, the data pointed out that 10 cultivars were desirabla for direct consumption, and 7 cultivars were desirable for dried processing. The optimum temperature and duration used for drying banana were 95-105 deg C for 3 days period.
