In the present study, no significant differences in the mean
weight of bananas were observed in the present research study. The
results were similar to a comparison study, no obvious enhancement in aboveground biomass yield of wheat for treatments
amended with different compost amendments including municipal
solid waste compost, sewage sludge, and thermally dried sewage
sludge was observed compared to a mineral fertilizer treatment
within a very short time frame[34]. The lack of significant differences in short-term yield responses to compost treatment has been
commonly ascribed to water deficiency, asynchrony between
timing of compost N mineralization and crop needs, low applicationrates, and/orhighbasal soil fertility level[35].
Results of the crop quality data indicated that the soil amended
with BIO significantly improved banana quality with increased total
soluble sugars (TSS) and a sugar/acid (TSS/TA) ratio. El Moniem
et al. (2008) [36] also reported that soil amended with biofertilization significantly improved banana quality compared with
the non-bio-fertilized soil. This phenomenon may be due to the
PGPR (plant growth promoting rhinobacteria) strains in the bio
