description Banana production on scientific basis is relatively new in Argentina. To evaluate potential productivity in the province of Formosa, four international banana varieties were tested over four campaigns at Estación Experimental Agropecuaria de INTA Chaco-Formosa. Data were also applied to determine the optimal plot size to confer statistical robustness to the field trials. Differences among varieties and among campaigns were detected but their interaction was not significant. Nevertheless, a biplot analysis identified patterns of differential performances and specific variety-campaign combinations. According to the maximum curvature method, plot size must include 6 to 8 plants of each variety for optimal statistical confidence of field trials. However, given that banana is a perennial crop and the Argentine environment is suboptimal for banana production, not all plants are productive every year. Hence, an optimum number of 10 plants is proposed to ensure statistical confidence in field trials in the province of Formosa.

La producción de banana sobre bases científicas es relativamente nueva en Argentina. Para evaluar la productividad potencial en la provincia de Formosa, se ensayaron cuatro variedades internacionales de banana durante cuatro campañas en el campo experimental de la Estación Experimental Agropecuaria de INTA Chaco-Formosa. También se aplicaron datos para determinar el tamaño de parcela óptimo para conferir robustez estadística a los ensayos de campo. Se detectaron diferencias entre variedades y entre campañas, pero su interacción no fue significativa. No obstante, un análisis biplot identificó patrones de rendimientos diferenciales y combinaciones específicas de variedad-campaña. Según el método de la curvatura máxima, el tamaño de la parcela debe incluir de 6 a 8 plantas de cada variedad para una confianza estadística óptima de los ensayos de campo. Sin embargo, dado que la banana es un cultivo perenne y que el medioambiente argentino no es óptimo para su producción, no todas las plantas se cultivan todos los años. Por lo tanto, se propone un número óptimo de 10 plantas para asegurar la confianza estadística en los ensayos de campo de la provincia de Formosa. IPAF Región Noreste Fil: Tenaglia, Gerardo Carlos.
