Collar Ring and String support system for Banana


The ring and string support system for banana includes a banana collar ring and UV stabilized 8mm thick plastic rope. It is for providing support to the pseudo-stem of the banana. The collar ring made up of 4mm GI wire is attached to the topmost junction, where the fruit peduncle comes out, and the plastic rope is used for connecting the rings in a row together. It is done without cutting the rope, and the ends are tied for strong anchoring stakes fixed at the end of each row. The rope is tied to the collar rings using slipknots. The cost of providing support to one banana is only Rs 35 including, all materials and labour charges.
