CASTRO-LIZAZO, Iván et al. Evaluation of the Application of Biocarbon in the Cultivation of Bananas. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2024, vol.33, n.2  Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 2071-0054.

The banana is a crop of great importance for providing a food with a high rate of fresh consumption within the Cuban diet. For several regions of the world, it is considered a species whose agronomic value lies in its great seasonal production, for which its obtaining methods need to be developed to achieve high rates of this. The object of the study was to evaluate the effect of two bioproducts on banana cultivation during the vegetative phase. The experiment was carried out at the "Seed Biofabrication" Institute located on the Jamaica highway and national highway, San José de las Lajas, Mayabeque province, between the months of July and August 2022. The experiment had four treatments: T1 Witness, T2 soil + organic matter, T3 soil + organic matter + Ecomic and T4 soil + organic matter + biochar + Ecomic. The variables evaluated were: pseudostem height (cm), number of leaves/plants, pseudostem diameter (cm), leaf area (cm) and chlorophyll concentration. The data obtained from the test were evaluated under the analysis of variance and the comparison of means was verified by Tukey's test at 5% probability. The results obtained showed positive effects for treatments three and four comprised of soil + organic matter + Ecomic and soil + organic matter + Ecomic + biochar where they showed a tendency to increase the parameters evaluated.
