The poultry manure 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 kg; 15 and 20 kg per plant the farmyard manure were used. The experimental results showed that using more than 8 kg poultry manure per plant was found to have negative effect on yield and other features. There were not any significant differences among the examined features in farmyard manure applications. While 6 kg poultry manure/plant application had much more positive effect on number of hand fingers and bunch weight, 8 kg poultry manure/plant application gave higher finger number, diameter and length when compared the other treatment. As a result, it was determined that 6 kg/plant poultry manure and 15 kg/plant farmyard manure levels along with chemical fertilizer gave the best results in terms of yield and other quality features in Dwarf Cavendish banana clone.
