Influencia de la microbiota del suelo en la producción bananera de la provincia de Los Ríos

The influence of soil microbiota on banana production is a critical aspect of agriculture that has received increasing attention due to its impact on crop health and agricultural sustainability. Soil microbiota, composed of a diversity of beneficial microorganisms, are involved in several key processes, such as organic matter decomposition, nitrogen fixation, mineral solubilization, and pathogen protection and growth promotion of banana plants. However, banana production faces challenges related to microbial imbalance, soil diseases and agrochemical use, which can negatively affect the microbiota. The soil microbiota, composed of a diversity of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and other microbes, plays a crucial role in the balance and health of the ecosystem. Banana production in Ecuador is centered in the provinces of El Oro, Guayas and Los Ríos. Over time, soils used for banana cultivation have experienced degradation due to poor agricultural practices. This soil deterioration has resulted in a decrease in the population of beneficial microorganisms, such as microflora and microfauna, which play a crucial role in the decomposition of organic matter. Strategies such as sustainable agriculture, crop rotation and biological control are being adopted to manage the soil microbiota and ensure continued healthy banana production more effectively. This holistic approach to soil microbiota is critical to ensure food security and economic prosperity in banana growing regions, where we can adopt regenerative agriculture practices that promote healthy banana production soils.
