Abstract
World banana production in 2017 was of 1136.92 million tons, and Brazil was the fourth largest producer in the world with 6.67 million tons. The objective of this work was to study the agronomic performance of five bananas cultivars under edaphoclimatic conditions in the region of Ceres, Goias (GO). The seedlings used were from in vitro propagation transplanted to plastic bags and placed in a screened coop for a period of 90days. After that, they were transplanted to the field at spacing of 3 m between rows and 2.5 m between plants. The experimental design was randomized blocks with five repetitions. The treatments were five bananas cultivars: BRS Conquista, Grand Naine, Maca Tropical, PA 94 01, and Prata-Ana. Each plot consisted of four banana families. The evaluated characteristics were: number of fruits per hand, number of fruits per bunch, fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit mass, set mass, number of bunch, hand mass, bunch mass, productivity per cycle and total productivity. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared by the Tukey test at 5%. Prata-Ana provided the smallest number of fruits per hand. Grand Naine cultivar was superior to the cultivation in the region due to its productivity. The other obtained similar productive performance among themselves and inferior to Grand Naine. All banana cultivars have production potential for Ceres-GO.
Highlights
A bananicultura apresenta-se no cenário internacional como um dos principais ramos do agronegócio, por ser a banana a fruta fresca mais consumida do planeta (Lima et al, 2012)

Summary
A bananicultura apresenta-se no cenário internacional como um dos principais ramos do agronegócio, por ser a banana a fruta fresca mais consumida do planeta (Lima et al, 2012). Como exemplo de algumas cultivares presentes no mercado e que são foco de pesquisas tem-se: a Grande Naine, a qual pertence ao grupo genômico AAA, subgrupo Cavendish; A Prata-Anã pertence ao grupo AAB que é fruto de uma mutação da banana ‘Branca’; A Maçã Tropical, um híbrido tetraploide (AAAB), obtido pelo cruzamento da cultivar Yangambi no 2 com o diploide (AA) M53 (Silva et al, 2016); a PA 94 01 também pertencente ao grupo genômico AAAB e é um híbrido de Prata-Anã (Mendonça et al, 2013); por fim a cultivar BRS Conquista também pertence ao grupo genômico AAB, subgrupo cultural Conquista (Pereira & Gasparotto, 2008). Mesmo tendo no Brasil lavouras tecnificadas, espalhadas pelas diversas regiões brasileiras, as quais têm alcançado produtividades iguais ou superiores às melhores do mundo, a bananicultura brasileira apresenta uma produtividade média que se enquadra entre as mais baixas em nível mundial. Objetivou-se com este trabalho estudar o desempenho agronômico de cinco cultivares de banana nas condições edafoclimáticas de Ceres-GO
