La compactación limita la exploración radical del banano. Se evaluó el efecto del carbón vegetal molido y la ceniza de bagazo de caña, con y sin herculizado, sobre la condición del sistema radical en un suelo con antecedentes de compactación. Se utilizó un arreglo factorial 3 × 2 en bloques completos al azar, con cuatro repeticiones y 10 plantas por parcela. La resistencia a la penetración disminuyó de 2.340 a 1.580 kPa después del herculizado, registro interpretado como evidencia operativa y no como prueba experimental del mecanismo. Para corregir las diferencias basales, se aplicó ANCOVA a las 24 medias de parcela, con el valor inicial como covariable y el bloque en el modelo. La interacción enmienda × herculizado fue significativa en raíces vivas, semivivas, muertas y masa radical total secada al aire (p < 0,0001). El carbón vegetal molido más herculizado (T4) presentó la mayor media de raíces vivas (28,18 g) y la menor media de raíces muertas (21,13 g); la ceniza más herculizado (T6) ocupó el segundo lugar (27,37 y 24,59 g). La masa radical total disminuyó en todos los tratamientos; por tanto, el hallazgo principal fue una modificación de la condición del sistema radical y no un aumento general de masa. Los mecanismos físicos, químicos o nutricionales requieren confirmación mediante mediciones edáficas y caracterización de las enmiendas.
