Abstract

The banana crop is one of the crops with the greatest economic and social impact in the tropics of Cochabamba, but it presents waste due to it is short shelf life. For this reason and the increasing demand for this fruit, a ripening retardation technique based on plant growth regulators for agricultural use is proposed. The work evaluated the effect of gibberellic acid (AG₃) on the shelf life of sweet banana Musa variety Cavendish Robusta Valery after harvest. Three treatments were carried out with doses of gibberellic acid, plus the control; then controls were carried out on the maturation times. Bunches were taken from a single plot with a dose for each box of bananas, which contains approximately 120 units. The bananas, harvested with all the green skin, were sprayed with gibberellic acid minutes before packing, in the following treatments: 10, 15 and 20 cc/l of AG3. The bananas were stored in a controlled environment (20 ± 1°C, with 40% humidity). Spray application of gibberellic acid to bananas provided 1.5 days of additional pot life. After 10 days of storage, the AG₃ doses of 15 cc/l and 20 cc/l were the most propitious for post-harvest storage of Musa variety Cavendish Robusta Valery sweet banana.
