Resumen

The objective in this work was to determine the effect of different doses of the rooting agent Root-Hor® in the multiplication of suckers of the Harton clone (bellaco plantain) under thermal camera conditions in the province of Padre Abad, Aguaytía, Peru. A thermal chamber 3 m wide x 5 m long and 1.8 m high was built, lined with transparent plastic, and in the rooting beds, compost was used as a base, forming a layer of 10 cm, followed by phosphate rock was sprinkled all over the bed and finally a 40 cm thick layer of sawdust was added. Corms of healthy mother plants were selected, with an average weight of 2 kg, from which the central growth point was eliminated by making a cone cut 4 cm deep in each corm, which were disinfected with a solution of 5% sodium hypochlorite for 3 minutes, then they were treated with the Root-Hor® rooting agent according to the doses studied (0 ml / 100 L, 50 ml / 100 L, 100 ml / 100 L, 150 ml / 100 L and 200 ml / 100 L), finally they were placed in the rooting beds, inside the thermal chamber, showing that the application of 150ml / 100L of Root-Hor® achieved 8.2 suckers / corm, 330.4 g of weight / suckling, 118.2 cm of sucker height, 4 cm diameter of sucker, 20.4 roots / sucker and 25 cm of root length, surpassing the other applications of Root-Hor® and the control, showing efficiency in the vegetative propagation of the Hartón clone under thermal chamber conditions.
