The cost of greenhouse construction is one of the most significant factors increasing the production cost in banana growing in Turkey. However, it is required to develop a contemporary system that should be alternative to the greenhouse in rugged terrain and economical in terms of the total cost in banana production, allowing the growers to use of rain-water especially during the rainy season. Due to these reasons, in this study, it is aimed to compare the net covering system providing the use of rain-water with open field production in the rugged terrain in which is not available to construct greenhouse due to the field structure. This experiment was conducted in Gazipaşa, Antalya locally in Yakacık between 2015 and 2016. In the study in which the 'Dwarf Cavendish' variety was used, the galvanized iron and monofilament white weaving net (with UV stabilization, 8-12% shading, hail-resistant, and 25 mesh 10 X 8 pore width) were utilized as construction materials. In this study, some morphological characteristics of plants including stem round, stem length, the number of leaves and stem round of cluster, yield, and pomological characteristics of pre-harvested and post-harvested fruits were comparatively determined concerning the open field and net covering system. Research findings illustrated that the substantial part of morphological characteristics showed valuable results under the net covering system. In addition to this, the results indicated that the number of combs and weight of clusters directly affecting the yield was higher under the net covering system than the open field growing. Furthermore, it was determined that fruit physical characteristics involving the values of finger weight, finger around, and length were higher under the net covering system. As a consequence, the net covering system exhibited better results compared with the open field growing in terms of yield and quality features.
