    His research was carried out at the “Sacha Wiwa” experimental center, located in the Guasaganda parish, belonging to the Technical University of Cotopaxi in La Maná, in a banana crop where the effect of different levels of mineral fertilization on the agronomic behavior of four varieties of banana (Musa paradisiaca) was evaluated, where a completely random block design (CRBD) was used. with a factorial arrangement of AxB, factor A composed of banana cultivars (Baby banana, Williams, Morado and Gros Michel), factor B the fertilization levels (without fertilization, deficit, low, medium and high), with a total of 20 treatments with three replications, with a total of 38 gl, employing Tukey's multiple range test at 0.05%, evaluating 12 variables, having as results that fertilization levels did intervene in the development of banana cultivars, in variables such as height, leaf width and length, presented better values with low fertilization, understanding that cultivars do not require high levels to maximize the values in these variables, highlighting their ability to take advantage of the available nutrients, while in the variables number of leaves, stem diameter, leaf area, days to flowering, good results were obtained with high fertilization, reaching similar results with low fertilization, as for the weight of the bunch there were no statistical differences between cultivars, however, in fertilization there were better averages with low fertilization, in the number of hands, low fertilization presented the best averages in terms of cultivars, Gros Michel presented a greater number of hands, while the lowest was Baby banana, which is influenced by the genetic characteristics of the cultivars, Number of leaves at harvest, the Purple and Baby banana varieties stood out a value, where fertilization levels did not influence, while the Harvest (Days) the Purple and Williams varieties presented a greater number of days, Baby banana was the cultivar that presented fewer days at harvest in which fertilization levels did not influence, however, a better behavior was observed with the control treatment followed by medium fertilization, it was determined that the agroecological factors of Guasaganda could have included since the results were better at low fertilization levels without excluding the genetic characteristics of the cultivars.
