Abstract

The application of natural Zeolite in the agriculture is a practice that has taken peak in the last twenty years, for what is necessary to carry out continuous studies, in the floors where it is applied. This work had as objective to determine the percentage dose of Zeolite in the banana cultivations, cane of sugar, rice and coffee and its impact in the chemical properties of the soils. During the years 2010 -2013 behaved experiments in properties in Ecuador and Cuba. For all the cases a statistical designs of blocks were used at random, with 5 treatments (0, 12.5, 25, 50 and 75 blended% with the chemical fertilizers) and 4 repetitions. The used Zeolite corresponded to the location of Tasajera-Cuba and the studied floors were Aliticos, Brown grizzly, Brown with carbonates and Húmicos sialíticos to be the most representative with agricultural vocation. The best variant corresponded to the mixture of 25 Zeolite% with chemical fertilizers for all the cultivations, the use of this mixture was also able to increase the content of interchangeable bases, the concentration of nutritious in the soils and the agricultural yields of the cultivations.
