An experiment entitled was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, AAU, Jabugam which comes under Middle Gujarat Agro-Climate Zone-III during seasons of the year 2013-14 and 2014-15 on “Evaluation of different varieties of banana in tribal area of Chhotaudepur Region of Middle Gujarat”. The experiment consisted of eight treatment combinations comprised of four varieties (viz. V1.Grand Naine, V2.Robusta, V3.Mahalaxmi and V4.William) and two planting materials (viz. P1. Tissue culture plants and P2. Suckers), and conducted in RBD with factorial concept with four replications. The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam in texture. All the plants were planted at 1.80 m spacing with one plant per hole. Willium registered the highest yield among all in pooled analysis and it was at par with Grand naine during 2014. On pooled basis, willium variety also showed better pulp: peel ratio, where with regard to the PLW ratio, Mahalaxmi and Willium were at par and recorded higher PLW ratio. Variety Grand Naine produced significantly higher production per day (206 kg/ha) in pooled analysis, which was at par with variety Willium (203 kg/ha). Banana raised through tissue also produced higher yield, PLW ratio and per day productivity (211.2 kg/ha) than suckers.
