Characterization of banana farms (Musa spp.) in Cuyani Microbasin, Pichanaki District, Chanchamayo Province (Junín, Perú)

The objective of this study was to characterize banana farms in the Cuyani Microbasin in the district of Pichanaki, Chanchamayo province (Junín, Peru). We worked with a producer organization that has 400 partners, of which a sample was taken (n = 80) using the proportions method. It was found that t...

Most producers consider that pests and diseases are the main factors limiting production, since they reduce yields and increase production costs.

They do not have a property title, the house does not have basic services, and they have poultry and guinea pigs. They have 2 to 3 hectares of banana (cultivars: Island and Palillo, 600 to 1000 plants/ha). Its production costs are between 2000 and 3600 soles and a yield of 6.5 to 7.5 t/ha.
