The present study was conducted through FLD & OFT programmes at farmer field of Lakhimpur-Kheri district (U.P.) India. Banana bunches were sprayed twice first after full emergence of inflorescence (last hand) and second spray 15 days after first spray with GA3 @ 200 ppm on removal of male bud. The result of present study revealed that banana bunches GA3 @ 200 ppm found effective in reducing maturity days (approximately 13 days) and peal weight (38.7g).Pulp weight (119.7 g.),pulp/ peal ratio (3.13% ), finger weight (158.4g), bunch weight ( 29.45 kg.) and yield percentage (8056 %) were increases over untreated plot. It is also reported that on an average difference of gross cost spend Rs. 2020.00 /ha. may increases average differences of gross return Rs. 67680.00/ha. and differences of net return Rs. 65660.00/ ha. and it also affect C:B ratio (2.95) and input output ratio (3.93).
