Evaluación de estimulantes radiculares en el cultivo de banano (musa x paradisiaca)

Abstract

Ecuador is a country that presents particular characteristics for the production of bananas in each of its zones. This item improves the national economy by creating foreign exchange and job sources. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of root stimulants on banana crop production. The research was carried out at the Hacienda "María Paola" located in the Iberia Canton, El Oro, Ecuador, a random block factorial experiment was obtained with 14 treatments with four bimonthly applications, the variables studied were; height, foliar emission, stem of the return (son), total weight of roots, weight of healthy, damaged and dry roots; bunch weight, rachis weight, total weight of hands per bunch, number of hands and number of fingers of the sun's hand. Treatments 8 and 7 obtained higher values in the variables of height and stem of the sucker, but in foliar emission, treatment 14 obtained a greater number of leaves. The best yield was produced in treatments 8 and 6, however, the highest number of hands per bunch was obtained by treatment 3, treatments 12, 2 and 5 where the stimulants Synergil 3-4-5 plus, AMINOQUELANT- CA and Zn obtained higher values in percentage and total weight of healthy roots, T14 obtained higher total weight of damaged and dry roots.
