Ghale, Author ; Him P. Pathak, Author Pagination: 75-78 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: An experiment was conducted to evaluate different varieties of banana at Pokhara condition in 061/62. Eight varieties of banana namely William hybrid, FIA 1, FIA 23, Robusta, Harichhal, Chinia Champa, Dhurse and Local Malbhog were studied in Randomized Complete Block design (RCBD) with four replications. The study showed higher number of combs per plant in William hybrid (10.25), Robusta (10.25), Chinia Champa (11) and Malbhog (10.5) which are statistically at par but FIA 1, FIA 23, Dhurse and Harichhal bore less number of combs per plant. Higher finger number (18) per comb was observed in William hybrid and least in Dhurse (10.5/comb). Although the length and diameter of finger was found highest in Dhurse, the total yield was less because of fewer numbers of fingers per plant. Average fruit weight was highest (169.90 gm) in Dhurse while William hybrid, FIA 1 and Harichhal produced smaller fruits (112.70 gm, 108.80 gm, and 102.60 gm respectively). Fruit taste was good in William hybrid, Robusta, and Malbhog where as it was acidic in FIA 1 and Dhurse. The result on evaluation of varieties for winter damage showed that the most susceptible variety was Harichhal followed by Malbhog, Dhurse, Robusta, Chinia Champa, William hybrid, and least affected varieties were FIA 1, FIA 23.
