Abstract

Over time, banana production has been facing a series of changes in production and agronomic management within the crop, as well as fertilization and cultural work on the plants, which is why it is important to manage the issue of fruit production with a good management of fertilization cycles, as obtaining high yields depends on maintaining the vigor of the plants throughout their development. Among the factors that most influence the development of the crop is temperature, nutritional level of the soil, humidity, and day length. Banana yield is related to the weight of the bunch and the number of plants per unit area, and inversely related to the length of time required for fruit formation. The size of the bunch depends on the number of hands, the number of fingers or bananas per hand and the size of each fruit. The research was carried out at the Santa Inés Farm, located in the parish of El Cambio, in the canton of Machala, province of El Oro. The aim of the study was to verify which of these treatments would result in better productivity and a greater increase in the growth of Musa x paradisiaca banana plants, clone Williams. The experimental design used in this project was a completely randomized block design with 3 treatments and 3 replicates, for which 10 plants per treatment were selected. The work consisted of applying different types of fertilizers to see the agronomic effects on the plant, for which weekly measurements were taken of growth variables such as height of the child and the mother, circumference of the child and the mother, leaf area and root system data. The measurements were taken weekly for 12 weeks. The treatments used were T1 (Urea + ammonium sulphate + potassium muriate + DAP + magnesium sulphate + zinc sulphate + corax), T2 (ammonium nitrate + potassium muriate + DAP + potassium sulphate + zinc sulphate + Borax + magnesium sulphate), T3 (Yara Rega Azutec + Abotex). For the statistical analysis, a one-factor ANOVA test was used for each variable using the SPSS Statistics version 25 software. After the test for each variable, the POST HOC test by Duncan was used to determine whether there were statistical differences between the groups and how they were grouped together. After the statistical test it was identified that in all the variables the best treatment that showed significant differences was T3 (Yara Rega Azutec + Abotex), this allows us to indicate that these products are the most recommendable to apply and to obtain a good return within the crop, contrary to T1 that presented the lowest agronomic characteristics with T3 and T2, alt hough it was not greater the response on the son was moderately good but it cannot compete with the response presented in the treatment 3.
