Promotores de crecimiento radical en el cultivo de plátano (musa aab cv.) ‘barraganete’ en fase de vivero.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of cytokinins on the root development of the lantain crop (Musa AAB cv) 'Barraganete', in the nursery phase in El Carmen, Manabí. Three doses of cytokinins were used (High: 2,75 - Medium: 2,00 - Low: 1,25 cc L-1 of water), applied to corms arranged in a randomized complete block experimental design (DBCA), with three treatments plus a control and three repetitions. It was established that there was no inference of the different doses of cytokinin evaluated on the agronomic and radical behavior, as well as on the macronutrient content of Barraganete plantain roots. The content of cronutrients was affected by the doses of cytokinins evaluated; the highest copper content was in the high and medium dose of cytokinin (2,75 and 2,00 cc L-1 of water, respectively) with (11,67 and 9,67 ppm, respectively), for zinc it was the dose high (2,75 cc L-1 of water) with 24.33 ppm and for manganese, the edium dose (2,00 cc L-1 of water) with 35 ppm.
