To study the effect of coffee pulp effluent irrigation on yield and yield attributing characters of banana ratoon crop, a field investigation was carried out during 2007 and 2008 at Kollibylu, Mudigere, Chikmagalur District. Alternate irrigation with lime treated coffee pulp effluent and fresh water with microbial culture recorded maximum mean bunch weight (69.6 t ha-1) which was on par with fresh water irrigation (67.4 t ha-1) followed by alternate irrigation with lime treated coffee pulp effluent and fresh water without microbial culture (67.1 t ha-1), 1:1 ratio irrigation with lime treated coffee pulp effluent and fresh water with microbial culture (66.2 t ha-1), 1:1 ratio irrigation with lime treated coffee pulp effluent and fresh water without microbial culture (65.6 t ha-1) and lime treated coffee pulp effluent irrigation with microbial culture (62.6 t ha-1). The lowest mean bunch weight was recorded in raw coffee pulp effluent irrigation without microbial culture (37.6 t ha-1).
