Estudio comparativo del impacto ambiental en una hacienda bananera orgánica versus una hacienda bananera de manejo convencional

Abstract

This research was based on the comparative analysis of two types of agricultural practices: "Conventional" and "Organic" cultivation of bananas, to determine which generates greater impact on the natural and human resources. The objective was: Propose alternative management for growing bananas that allows reducing the impact caused poor agricultural practices and the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals. The study began with a literature, performing an inventory of the main pesticides used in both organic farming and conventional farming. In both types of cultures were performed in a series of analyzes of both physical - chemical, microbiological and nematology components to water, soil and plant material in the two types of banana. The alternative plan was based on professional experience and the results found in this study, within that plan all the components that are part of the production process including the stage of pre-export packaging were taken into account. Finally it seeks to address the production of conventional bananas towards Ecological friendly production environment.
