Evaluación del rendimiento en la producción de maíz mediante la aplicación de tres bioestimulantes en el cantón Joya de los Sachas.

Abstract

The purpose of this research study was to diagnose the effects on yield in corn production through the three bio stimulants application in the Joya de los Sachas canton. It was considered necessary to resort to experimental research, for which, three treatments were established with bio stimulants Eveergren with doses of 0. 5l/h, Vital Humus and Sweet Extract with a dose of 1l/h and control treatment consisting the crop under natural conditions, in order to evaluate its performance, it was necessary to establish variables, the independent one being the bio stimulant, while dependent variable includes indicators such as root size, the bio stimulants application was carried out in three replications, starting 10 days after germination of the corn with intervals 15 days per application. The results obtained showed the use of bio stimulants improved corn grain weight by 18.1%, the number of grains by 13.9%, plant height by 9.1% and ear diameter by 4.4%. It is worth mentioning the best results were obtained from a dose of 0.5l per hectare of bio stimulant Eveergren. It was concluded the use of bio stimulants increased the yield for the corn crop development. It is recommended to replicate the experiment with the use of different corn hybrids, in order to verify the benefits extend of bio stimulants applied in corn crops.
