Trichoderma como biofertilizante en el cultivo de plátano (Musa x paradisiaca

The present investigation is about the cultivation of banana, known by its scientific name (Musa x paradisiaca), it is a fruit that is marketed worldwide due to its high protein, carbohydrates and its presence in a wide variety of gastronomic dishes. It normally grows in moderate climates, so it is important to grow it in suitable soils. The application of biofertilizers stimulates the structure of the soil and improves the absorption of nutrients, it is used in liquid or solid form that usually contain organic matter and live microorganisms or in a “dormant” state, this increases the production and quality of the plantain crop. The trichoderma fungus is a natural biofertilizer, but due to environmental contamination these have decreased in the soil, which is why farmers currently use chemical fertilizers, because they are unaware of the efficacy of the trichoderma fungus, which not only serves plants, but also as a natural source of nutrients for the soil. The genus trichoderma feed on other fungi or micro parasites, they are found in soils, generally in native forests, vegetable bark and decomposing wood, these are also found in moist soils and have a growth of 5 to 10 mm in diameter. This type of fungi interact with the roots of plants and act as a natural biofertilizer. Banana producers should be aware of the benefits of Trichoderma as an alternative for saving chemical fertilizers and pesticides in the crop, since, by colonizing the roots of the banana with said microorganism, they will act immediately as a natural biofertilizer, being one of the most effective and recommended in cultivation.
