Trichy based National Research Centre for Banana in collaboration with SCOPE organization found that application of 50 liters of human urine (1:10) – urine : Water) with 75% RDK (Recommended dose of potassium) per plant could record increased Poovan banana yield (23.9kg) by 13.8% over normal Poovan banana yield (21 kg ie.., without urine), supplement 100% RDN (Recommended dos of Nitrogen), 100% RDP (Recommended dose of phosphorus) and 25% RDK, and accrue an additional net profit of Rs. 45, 175/- per hectare in Poovan banana cultivation. Out of the above additional net profit, Rs. 36, 250/- is due to increased bunch weight and Rs. 8,925/- is due to saving in 100% N and P fertilizers and 25% K fertilizers in Poovan banana cultivation. It was worked out that if human urine is used as liquid organic manure in India for banana cultivate about Rs. 445 crores may be saved in cost of fertilizers, annually.
