Abstract
A spacing trial on Kabuthu, a Dwarf Cavendish type banana, was conducted in the Thyolo Highlands and compared square spacings of 1.5, 2.3 and 3.0 m and regulation to 2, 3 and 4 stems.
The closest spacing produced the highest yield but the widest spacing gave the best quality fruit.
A spacing of 2.3 m x 2.3 m pruned to 3 stems is advised.
