Solorzano Cedeño,Leonidas Jacinto(2023)TAMAÑO DEL CORMO Y SU EFECTO EN EL DESARROLLO DE PLÁNTULAS DE BANANO CULTIVAR WILLIAMS A NIVEL DE VIVERO.Quevedo.UTEQ.71p.

The production of the banana crop is one of the main sources of economic income in Ecuador due to the agricultural export of this fruit. Its demand is based on quality and nutritional properties, which makes it the most consumed worldwide. However, small and medium producers face a shortage of corms when reseeding in certain areas of their plantations. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the size of the corm and its effect on the development of banana seedlings of the Williams variety at the nursery level. The study was carried out at the "La María" University Campus of the Quevedo State Technical University, located at km 7 ½ of the Quevedo - El Empalme highway, in the province of Los Ríos. For this trial, a completely randomized design consisting of three treatments and five repetitions was used. The treatments consisted of corms of different weights: small (100 to 200 g), medium (200 to 400 g) and large (400 to 600 g). The height, the diameter, the fresh and dry biomass, the number of leaves and the phyllochronic index of the banana seedlings generated in the nursery stage were evaluated. The heavier corms presented better results compared to the other treatments. These showed a greater height, diameter and production of fresh and dry biomass. In addition, they had an average of 7.12 leaves/pl and a phyllochronic index of 7.82 days/leaves during the nursery phase. Therefore, by using corms of 400 to 600 g in weight, it was possible to obtain banana seedlings of the Williams variety with the height and diameter required by banana producers for establishment in the field.
