Abstract

The following work was done with the Agricultural Secretary and Environment, after observing the problems that the municipality of La Primavera has in the department of Vichada, for the development of its agricultural activities and to ensure the food security of the municipality, it was observed that in summer time banana production is limited and in many cases crops are lost, caused by high temperatures and water shortages. In winter, banana production on the banks of the river is also affected by flooding, causing economic losses to producers and indirectly affecting the community. The banana is one of the most important food products at national level, occupying the fifth place after coffee, sugar cane, potato and flowers, due to its importance at national and local level, it was intended to carry out practices of multiplication of plant material of banana in this way allow to obtain more of this, quickly and safely. The multiplication of banana corms in micro tunnels consisted of selecting these, weighing from 1 to 2 kg, which had 5 to 10 shoots per corm, were disinfected and sown in micro tunnels, then the seedlings are carried to the bag where after 30 to 45 days they are taken to the field for sowing, in this way we obtain more seedlings for sowing in less space, seedlings free of pests and diseases, we contribute to the sustainable production of bananas and to the food security of the population of the municipality.
