Evaluación de la incidencia del aceite ozonizado sobre el Fusarium oxysporum Raza 1 en el cultivar de banano (Musa acuminata AAA) Gros Michel a nivel de invernadero.

Abstract

The present work aims to determine the efficiency of the ozonized oil to control the fungus Fusarium oxysporum cubense Race 1, which causes the disease of Panama Disease in the banana crop of the Gros Michel variety. The fungus causes an obstruction of the vascular bundles of the plant, causing its death. The research will be carried out for 3 months, at the laboratory level and at the greenhouse level. This research will allow us to evaluate the effect of the Foc fungus, which will be inoculated in the substrate prior to transplantation, of the banana rhizome in order to verify the efficiency of the effect of the ozonized oil. The fungus will be replicated in a PDA culture medium for its reproduction and later, it will be inoculated into the substrate. A completely randomized mono factorial and Andeva design of the experimental trial will be applied that will evaluate each of the variables, to meet the general objective. The best treatment will be determined depending on the weekly reports, taking into account the Stover method modified by Gauhl and the proposed variables, analyzed by the InfoStat statistical package of the LSD Fisher posterior tests. It is expected to obtain a positive response, influenced by an alternative methodology, reducing the indiscriminate use of conventional fungicides, which the banana producer is used to resorting to for the control of this disease known as Panama disease in the cultivar Gros Michel. These results can be extrapolated to the variety that is commercially planted Cavendish Worldwide.
