Hongos micorrizicos arbusculares (hma) en la productividad del cultivo de plátano (musa aab).

Abstract

The present study was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effect of amb abuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plantain (musa aab) cultivation in the nursery phase under thermal chamber conditions, in the canton of el Carmen, Manabí. a dbca was removed, and different doses of the mycorrhizal-enriched substrate were inoculated once at the start of the study. the evaluations were carried out up to 70 days after sowing. it was found that the variables plant height, number of leaves and pseudostem diameter did not show significant statistical differences with a probability of 95% up to 70 days after planting, while for the variables leaf area, root weight, number of and root colonization rate, significant differences were found. the dose of the inoculum that showed the greatest response was the one corresponding to 120 g of mycorrhiza, and the application of phosphorous edaphic fertilizer contributes to increase the leaf area of the plant.
