Manejo de Mycospharella Fijiensis en cultivo de plátano Musa AAB con aceite ozonizado.

Abstract

The present research work was carried out with the purpose of reducing the impact of the black sigatoka disease on the plantain crop (Musa AAB) in the area of El Carmen. For which 20 treatments implemented in a randomized complete block design DBCA for the field phase were evaluated. The plantain crop in Ecuador represents an important economic source, especially in the province of Manabí where there is a greater concentration of hectares of plantain cultivation, however, it is not free of fungi and diseases which are the main cause of problems in the management of plantain, since foliar diseases represent the main causes in plantain production. The ozonated oil with a frequency of application of 5 applications resulted in a higher number of leaves at flowering, harvest, bunch weight and production per ha, Treatment T4, which corresponds to 5 applications of ozonated oil, obtained the highest number of leaves at flowering with 9 and 6.4 respectively, as well as 11.02 kg of bunch weight and 710 boxes/ha.
