Yield and postharvest of ‘BRS Platina’ banana not irrigated under different types of soil mulches

Banana (Musa spp.) is a crop with outstanding economic and social expression throughout the world. The objective of this study was to investigate effect different mulches types in growth production postharvest banana ‘BRS Platina’ not irrigated. experiment conducted farm Federal University Lavras (UFLA). Micropropagated plants cultivar BRS were planted field spacing 2.5 × 3.0 m (1333 ·ha-1), without irrigation. About 20 days after planting, installed: black polyethylene films, double-sided films (white black), organic mulch (from own crop) control (bare soil). experimental set up randomized block design four treatments, six blocks per treatment, totaling 144 plants. Among used each two constituted border, therefore evaluated. analysis performed first second were: analysis, quality, productivity. Both inorganic (plastic film) provide greater yield irrigated, years can be cultivation crop.
