mrs highlander has about 100  banana trees and 30 or so  papaya trees what would be the best type of fertilizer to use

she has access  to chicken  and cow manure but i was thinking more of a liquid type but then that might not be feasable or

suitable .

 

Thai banana farmers like to use 46-0-0 in first few months for fresh banana tree plantings, manure is great for bananas after established. Purchased cow manure is always a bit old as well, but some dairy farmers has not dried, so that manure you may want to compost first. Manure is great for taste. I used 16-16-16 for my papayas every month, about 1/4 kg spread around tree, some waste that method when trees are small. I also use cow manure for the papapas and pile it up and around.
