This work aimed to evaluate, agronomically, in two production cycles, seven genotypes (treatments) of banana Prata, tall type, in the semi-arid. Pacovan (AAB) variety and hybrids 'Pacovan-Ken', PV42-53, 'Preciosa', 'Japira' and PV79-34 (AAAB) and the 'Garantida' (AAAB), from the 'Prata São Tomé' hybrid were evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized with 10 replicates in the planting spacing 3.0 x 2.5 meters. At the time of flowering and harvesting, vegetative phenotypic descriptors, cycle, yield, and severity assessment of yellow Sigatoka were considered. The data were submitted to variance analysis and the average grouped by Scott-Knott criterion at 5% probability. Values increased between production cycles. There is variability in the characteristics between the genotypes belonging to the same genomic group and subgroup, including hybrids originated from the same genitor. The hybrids are more vigorous than the Pacovan variety. Garantida cultivar is the least productive. 'Pacovan' is the most susceptible (score six), the PV79-34 hybrid presents intermediate susceptibility (score three) and other hybrids are resistant to yellow Sigatoka (score one). The PV79-34 hybrid has characteristics favorable to its cultivation due the smallest height, greatest vigor, minor cycle and largest number of hands and fingers.
