Uso de fundas CONTROLFLEX organic y Banamix en banano (Musa acuminata AAA) para el control de daños por Trips.

Abstract

Traditional covers that are composed of chemical insecticides are the main method used by banana growers to combat the plague of thrips in banana, however, nowadays the international market, and especially the European is increasingly requesting organic products, in which the use of organic covers as alternative to reduce chemical load and environmental impact are a good option, in addition to encouraging biopesticides. This investigation was carried out in ¨Hacienda. Nueva Delia¨, located in ¨Recinto La Delia¨, Babahoyo, Los Rios. For this investigation, was used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 study units for each treatment. The treatments included the ¨Banamix¨ covers with 1% bifenthrin impregnation, covers and ribbons ¨ControlFlex organic¨ with Liliaceae resins impregnation (garlic), natural covers of transparent polyethylene. after statistical analysis of results, it was concluded the ControlFlex organic covers are same efficient than banamix covers although they have the disadvantage of having a much higher cost than the Banamix covers.
