Close analyses of the present investigation revealed that the foliar application of nutrients were able to increase the yield of banana cv. ‘Grand Naine’. Present study was carried out at the field of Banana Research Station, Nanded (M.S.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with thirteen treatments and three replications. Among these treatments in quality parameters, the highest weight of pulp (90.5 g), maximum pulp to peel ratio (4.39), highest TSS (22.33⁰B), maximum reducing sugar (20.8%) and the highest total sugar (22.21%) was recorded in treatment T₁₀ i.e. foliar application of Zn (0.5%) + Fe (0.2%) + Cu (0.2%) + B (0.1%). Whereas, maximum weight of peel (27.26 g) was noted in treatment T₉ i.e. spraying of Fe (0.2%) + B (0.1%), maximum acidity (0.97%) was noted in treatment T₁ i.e. Zn (0.5%) and maximum starch content (20.59%) and maximum ascorbic acid (12.03 mg/100 g) was observed in treatment T₁₁ i.e. spraying of Potassium (0.5%). The treatment T₁₀i.e. foliar application of Zn (0.5%) + Fe (0.2%) + Cu (0.2%) + B (0.1%) was significantly superior in yield contributing attributes to other nutrient treatments. The highest number of fingers per hand (19.26), maximum length of finger (17.63 cm), maximum weight of finger (114.86 g), maximum circumference of finger (11.9 cm), maximum number of hands per bunch (9.61), highest number of fingers per bunch (186.09), maximum weight of bunch (21.64 kg) and maximum yield (96.19 Mt/ha) was recorded in treatment T₁₀.
