Plantains and bananas are the main Musaceae used in human food worldwide (CORPOZULIA-CIPLAT, 2008, Nava et al., 2010). In Venezuela, 117,524 hectares of bananas and bananas are planted, with a production of 1.7 million tons, which represent 53% of the area dedicated to the cultivation of fruit trees in the country and 64% of the total volume of fruits produced. For the effect of the Trujillo state, the musáceas have acquired great importance in the last years, emigrating towards this cultivation areas previously destined to cattle raising and sugar cane.
