Obstrucción foliar: uso de estufas de combustión controlada en el cultivo de banano como mecanismos de mitigación.

Abstract

Headache in banana plants is a physiological disorder that generates abnormalities in the bunch, mainly affecting its weight and fruit quality. It is usually related to the deficiency of C, Zn, Ca, availability of radiation and high relative humidity. The experimental results obtained in different banana plots will be exhibited In the present work located in the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Machala on effect of controlled combustion stoves in the mitigation of leaf obstruction, during the development of their phenological stages. A completely randomized block experimental design was carried out with three treatments. The experiments: T-Stoves, T- Foliar and, T- Control, the variables evaluated were: temperature inside the plantation, foliar emission, distance between petioles and number of leaves. Treatment 1 registered slightly high values in all the variables, in terms of foliar emission it displayed homogeneity in the means of treatment 2 and 3, the application of controlled combustion stoves in the early morning hours shows an improvement in terms of development parameters. to the variables evaluated in comparison with the other treatments.
