Banana is a fruit crop, characterized by a soft, cylindrical stem
the foliage is long, translucent, green, and smooth, cluster roots that go deep underground and grow over time. In Vietnam, banana trees are listed as the main crops and bring high economic value. Like some other fruit crops, bananas have growth characteristics divided into four main periods. Depending on each stage of development, bananas have different irrigation requirements. Currently, the demand for banana products in the world is very high
the potential for banana export is an opportunity to develop the agricultural economy in particular and the country's economic development in general. However, the productivity and quality of banana crop depends on many factors, some of which are the main factors such as soil, seedling quality, pests and diseases, and especially an appropriate irrigation requirement for the growth stages of banana. Therefore, in this study, we focused on determining the appropriate irrigation regime for the growth stages of banana crops to improve yield and product quality. The research results determined that on one hectare of bananas with 2,000 trees, the amount of water required for the entire period is 1.578,67 m3/ha. Besides, the results also showed that the water demand for each growth stage is different
that is the highest water demand at the stage of banana flowering and fruit raising with an irrigation requirement of up to 18.62 liters/tree/time, while the young tree stage has the lowest water demand with an irrigation requirement of only 4.3 liters/tree/time.
