The objective of this work was to verify the influence of the density on yield of the banana 'Grande Naine', planted in Juazeiro, BA, Brazil. Four densities (2000, 4000, 6000 e 8000 plants ha-1) at systems double rows were evaluated for first and second crops cycle. Banana suckers were planted at T1=3.75 x 1.25 x 2 m (2.000 pl.ha-1); T2= 3.75 x 1.25 x 1 m (4.000 pl.ha-1); T3= 3.75 x 1.25 x 0,66 m (6.000 pl.ha-1); T4= 3.75 x 1.25 x 0,50 (8.000 pl.ha-1); T5= 3.75 x 1.25 x 2 m (2.000 pl.ha-1), respectively between double rows, between inter rows and distance among plants in rows. The characteristic availed were diameter (PD) and height (PH) of plant, mass of bunch (BM), number of hands (HN), number of fruit (FN), mass of stem/bunch (RM), length of fruit (FL), diameter of fruit (FD), mass of fruit (FM), cycle crop (CC), yield per ha and yield per ha per year of crop. The yield in the first cycle T2 (4.000 pl.ha-1) was higher than at the yield of T1 and T5 (2.000 pl.ha-1). On the second cycle does not were difference significance among the treatments. The yield and quality de fruit from T1, T2 e T5 and were best than the T3 e T4.
