Conteúdo: 	The banana, having originated in the humid tropics, has high heat and moisture requirements. Under ideal conditions, growth should suffer nocheck at anv time of the vear. Such conditions demand that air temperature fluctuations at all times be confined to the range 20 to 35oC, and that at least 125mm of rain, evenly distributed, falls each month. In the subtropical areas of South Africa, banana production is severelylimited by climate, as ideal conditions simply do not exist. Rainfall is generally inadequate, although this can be remedied by supplementary irrigation (see Bananas F.I). More important is the fact that air temperatures in banana areas in midwinter tend to drop nearly every night to values between 12 and 5oC, and sometimes ever lower. Besides reduction in growth rate and yield, and cold injury to leaves, low temperatures can be responsible for poor bunch quality.
