Uso de fertilizantes minerales en la producción de Musa textilis.

Abstract

The present investigation had the objective to evaluating the edaphic fertilization in abaca (Musa textilis) plants in the dry season. A completely randomized block design (DBCA) was applied, consisting of 16 plots of 20 by 20 meters, 4 treatments and 4 repetitions. The treatments used were: T1 (Fertibanano), T2 (Mezclafix), T3 (Yaramila) and T4 (Control). The investigation lasted 90 days where the variables were measured: height increase of the plant, perimeter of the pseudostem and number of returns. For the statistical analysis, the Tukey test (P ≤ 0.05) of probability was used. The main findings show that with the height increase of the plant T2 present the highest average perhaps had same statistical values of T1 and T3; the perimeter increase of the pseudostem had the best results with T3 with similar statistical values like T2 and T4; and the number of returns did not have a significant difference. At the conclusion of the investigation it was possible to observe that soil fertilization in the dry season has positive effects on the performance of the abaca crop.
