Banana poor bunch filling leaf yellowing interveinal potassium magnesium deficiency nutrient kela diagnosis

Poorly filled, thin fruit fingers together with yellowing between the leaf veins most often point to a nutrient problem rather than a pest or virus, commonly a shortage of potassium, magnesium or other elements, since banana is a heavy feeder that needs a lot of potassium to fill the bunch. Yellowing between the veins while the veins stay green is a typical deficiency pattern, but the exact element should be confirmed by a soil or leaf test through your KVK, because magnesium, potassium and other deficiencies look slightly different and over-fertilising the wrong one wastes money. It is also worth ruling out root damage, waterlogging or nematodes that stop the plant taking up nutrients, and checking that the plant is well watered, since water stress at bunch stage gives thin fingers too. Once the deficiency is confirmed, correct it with the right fertiliser dose and timing your KVK recommends, applied in splits, and consider foliar feeding for a quick correction if advised. Keep irrigation steady through bunch development. Get the soil and leaf tested before buying inputs, so you feed the actual shortage.

Banana eats a lot of potassium. Once we corrected our potash dose on KVK advice and kept the watering steady, the bunches filled much better and the leaf yellowing reduced.

Before you buy more fertiliser, get the leaf and soil tested. We were dumping urea thinking the yellow leaves needed nitrogen, but the test showed it was potassium and magnesium that were short.

Also dig and check the roots. In one block our thin fingers were from nematode damaged roots that could not take up the feed, so no amount of fertiliser fixed it until we dealt with that.
