Abstract
The production of bananas (Musa spp.) represents the most important item for the economy of the Province of El Oro. The penetration of the root system in this crop is weak, so the distribution is related to the texture and structure of the soil. This study was to evaluate the effect of different root stimulation programs on the vegetative development of banana crops under a sprinkler irrigation system. The research work was developed in the "Adrianita" farm in the Province of El Oro - Ecuador, which is located in the localities of Sabalucal-Parish Barbones del Canton el Guabo, a completely randomized block design (DBCA) was carried out, applying six treatments, T1 (Control), T2 (Carving), T3 (Rooting based on seaweed), T4 (Humic Acids), T5 (Rooting + Humic Acids), and T6 (Herculization), divided into four blocks, the Data were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), using the Agrostat® software (Barbosa and Maldonado, 2010). The results obtained were plant height 3.59 m in T6, pseudostem diameter 90.61 cm in T6, number of leaves 8.07 in T1, chlorophyll levels 52.85 (SPAD) in T6, total root mass 85.92 g in T6.
