Valoración de desechos de banano (Masa Acuminata Cavendish Subgroup) y cacao (Theobroma cacao) mediante producción de compost y biol

Abstract

The present project focuses on the ecological use of banana waste (Musa acuminata Cavendish Subgroup) and cocoa (Theobroma cacao), taking as a case study the Secadal farm of the Naranjal canton (Guayas-Ecuador). In just five weeks, the mixture of B. subtillis, molasses, Trichoderma, cocoa and banana wastes, and land for sowing, was the best treatment to mineralize organic matter and thus produce a solid fraction considered as compost and a liquid fraction considered as biol. The following results are reported: pH close to 7, mesophilic temperature, organic matter contents > 7.6%, carbon > 4.40%, electrical conductivity > 11.38 mS / cm, total solids > 67.89% and solids volatile > 25.34%. Of the amount of organic waste treated, approximately 50% was compost and 22% biol.
