In addition, they are not tolerant to salinity.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Climate<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The optimum climate for banana trees is the <strong>tropical climate<\/strong> or hot and humid climate.

In this way, new fruits will grow back.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Desuck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Desuckering is the <strong>elimination of secondary children<\/strong>, choosing the strongest to continue production.

With this, a better exposure to light, air and heat is achieved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Between 8 and 9 leaves per plant should be maintained and it is advisable to strip the leaves every 15-21 days.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Propping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Propping is a technique that is used on <strong>plants with clusters in order to prevent them from falling<\/strong> and losing the fruit.
