Coadyuvantes en herbicidas para el control de malezas en el cultivo de banano (Mussa spp. L), en la zona de Babahoyo

The banana occupies the fourth place of the food with the highest export worldwide, after rice, corn and wheat, being rich in nutrients that can be consumed both dehydrated and strained, the weeds present in the crops are one of the factors that reduces production, that is, it makes it difficult to carry out cultural tasks, in addition to competing for nutrients, light and space, currently farmers rely on their empirical knowledge which today have lost their degree of effectiveness, since the misuse of these has generated that the weeds obtain a resistance, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the products it is recommended to apply adjuvants that help to improve the effectiveness and increase the adherence and increase the viscosity of the product. The present experimental work was carried out in the banana plantation that is located on the grounds of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Babahoyo, located at Km 7 ½ of the Babahoyo - Montalvo road. The planting material that was obtained was the Cavendish variety with 4 years already established, where a total of 6 treatments and a control were applied, the first three treatments were applied with the CONFORT adjuvant: CONFORT + PARAQUAT, CONFORT+GLIFOSATO, CONFORT+GLUFOSINATO DE AMONIO , and the other three were the PARAQUAT, GLIFOSATO, GLUFOSINATO DE AMONIO herbicides individually, the design used was Completely Random Blocks (DBCA), with seven treatments and four repetitions, the comparison of the treatment measurements was made using the Tukey test. At 5 % statistical significance, the data to be evaluated were: percentage of weed control at 7 and 14 days after the application; Weed genera present in the treatments were evaluated before the application of the treatments and economic analysis.

El banano ocupa el cuarto lugar de los alimentos con mayor exportación a nivel mundial, luego del arroz maíz y trigo, siendo rica en nutrientes que se la puede consumir tanto deshidratada como en coladas, las malezas presentes en los cultivos son uno de los factores que merma la producción, es decir, esta dificulta realizar las labores culturales, además de que compiten por nutrientes, luz y espacio, en la actualidad los agricultores se basan en sus conocimientos empíricos los cuales hoy en día han perdido su grado de efectividad, ya que el mal uso de estos ha generado que las malezas obtén a tener resistencia, para mejorar la eficiencia y eficacia de los productos se recomienda aplicar coadyuvantes que ayudaran a mejorar la efectividad e incrementara la adherencia y aumenta la viscosidad del producto. El presente trabajo experimental se realizó en la bananera que está situada en los terrenos de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo, ubicada en el Km 7 ½ de la vía Babahoyo – Montalvo. El material de siembra utilizado en este trabajo fue la variedad de Cavendish establecida ya cuatro, en donde se aplicaron en total 6 tratamientos y un testigo, los tres primeros tratamientos fueron aplicados con el coadyuvante CONFORT: CONFORT + PARAQUAT, CONFORT + GLIFOSATO, CONFORT + GLUFOSINATO DE AMONIO, y los otros tres fueron los herbicidas PARAQUAT, GLIFOSATO, GLUFOSINATO DE AMONIO individualmente, el diseño empleado fue de Bloques Completamente al Azar (DBCA), con siete tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones, la comparación de las medidas de los tratamientos se efectuó mediante la prueba de Tukey al 5 % de significancia estadística, los datos a evaluar fueron: porcentage de control de malezas a los 7 y 14 dias despues de la aplicación; generos de malezas presentes en los tratamientos, se evaluo antes de la aplicación de los tratamientos y analisis economico.
