What is Ney poovan and it belongs to which cultivar?

Ney poovan

Ney poovan is the cultivar of banana. Commercial mono-cultivation of Ney Poovan in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu has made it one of the most popular diploid varieties. As a result, backyards and large-scale farming are becoming more common in Kerala. It is a thin plant that produces 15-30 kilograms of fruit after 12-14 months of growth. Despite their dark green color, these fruits have a high shelf life. The fruit has a strong aroma, a sweet flavor, and a powdered texture. Tolerant to leaf spot, yet vulnerable to Fusarium wilt and the banana bract mosaic virus, it is a hybrid variety.
