The objective concerning this study was therefore to judge the performance of various plantain differences with a view to label high yielding differences in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Plantain (Musa paradisiaca L.) is a member of the Musaceae kin and is closely related to the prevailing banana. It is a enduring plant with rhizomes below the ground. Plantains are developed all over the planet, including in the tropics, and are generally consumed as meat in various forms. The study was conducted at the University of Uyo Teaching and Research Farm in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria all along 2020 and 2021 cropping seasons. The development characteristics of the plantain sorts differed significantly. Plant altitude at 32 weeks after establishiing showed that variety 4479-1 written the highest altitude, 4.09 m while Agbagba and Mbiegome had heights 3.21 m and 3.07 m, respectively. The bunch traits measured subsequently harvesting were statistically significant dissimilarities (P < 0.05) among the sorts. The bunch weight differed considerably (P < 0.05) amongst the types. The outcome indicated that the yield (bunch pressure) for Mbiegome was 10.55 kg, followed by 4479-1 accompanying 10.28 kg., while 7152-2, Ogoni red and Agbagba assortments recorded 07.68 kg, 04.11 kg and 09.5 kg, respectively. Variety Mbiegome outperformed added varieties in conditions of yield and yield components other than finger denseness and length in this place study and is thus recommended for publicity in Akwa Ibom State.Additional tests should be administered in other agro-ecological zones to visualize if the Uyo results would hold up. The most hopeful variety, Mbiegome, should endure additional experiment for resistance to disease, bugs, drought, and services acceptance.
