Plantain is an inexpensive staple food in tropical and subtropical areas of Latin America and its consumption has been increasing steadily in recent years. Low yields are common due to inadequate inputs and low technology management practices. This study is showing that high planting densities significantly increase yields. Data accumulated during the first complete production cycle of the crop at two sites indicate that doubling plant population to 3,332 plants/ha increased yields by an average of 65 percent while fertilizing the higher population with nitrogen (N), P and K raised yields an additional 45 percent.
