Banana is a common mans’fruit grown in about 7.0 lakh ha area of India. Apart from fruit, banana crop generate huge quantity of waste biomass in the form of pseudostem, leaves, suckers etc,. At present, this biomass is absolute waste in most of the states of India. Not only this, but farmers are spending about Rs. 15000 to 20000/ha for disposing off this waste from their fields. The present mode of disposing off pseudostem waste in nallas, borrow pits, road sides, burning etc; is causing environmental problems.
