Efecto de la interacción del nitrógeno con el potasio sobre la intensidad de la clorofila en el cultivo del banano

Abstract

This research was carried out at the Experimental Farm Santa Inés of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the Technical University of Machala, with the aim of evaluating the effect of nitrogen interaction with potassium on the intensity of chlorophyll in banana cultivation. In the IC variable the treatments that carried nitrogen (200, 400 and 600 kg ha-1) were observed statistical differences at dose 0 kg ha-1 were observed, different behavior was observed in treatments carrying K doses, where all THE CI and AF variables showed no statistical differentiation between doses 0, 350,700 and 1050 kg ha-1 of K2O. In the evaluation of the AF variable the treatments that carried nitrogen were statistically differentiated at the dose 0 kg ha-1, on the other hand, treatments with doses of 0, 350, 700 and 1050 kg ha-1 of K2O, did not show statistical differentiation. These data were corroborated by an F-test, where treatments that carried nitrogen differed statistically, not so, the K doses and NK interaction for IC and AF, however, the May AF if it had statistical interaction of K and its interaction. The non-application of nitrogen fertilizers negatively influenced both the IC and AF variable, demonstrating that the application of 200 of N and K2O kg ha-1son sufficient for the development of appropriate of these two variables.
