Evaluación del bioestimulante biorma, en el crecimiento de plantas de cedro (Cedrela montana MORITZ EX TURCZ) a nivel de vivero en la ESPOCH.

Abstract

This research proposed to evaluate the incidence of the bio stimulant BIORMA on the growth of the forest species Cedrela montana, where it was carried out in the ESPOCH nursery. The project was carried out through the analysis of data with descriptive statistics, which allowed to demonstrate the results of the most effective treatment in the different variables evaluated, such as plant height, number of leaves and number of axillary buds, at 15, 30 and 45 days; as well as the economic analysis of the products applied. It was based on 3 treatments: T1 (BIORMA bio stimulant); T2 (CARBOFOL bio stimulant) and T3 (Control), for which a completely randomized design was used for subsequent analysis. A ruler was used to take measurement data, by means of which plant height values were obtained, then the values obtained from leaves and axillary buds were collected by counting them; for which the corresponding application of each proposed treatment was carried out, by means of the following dosages: 50 cubic centimeters of BIORMA in 1 liter of water and 2.25 cubic centimeters of CARBOFOL in 1 liter of water, the same that were applied in a period of 15 days to 30 plants for each treatment, taking into account that for the control treatment 1 liter of water was applied. The results showed that the incidence of both bio stimulants was efficient in the growth of the evaluated species. In terms of economics, treatment T1 showed a lower application cost compared to treatment T2, with $294.77. Therefore, the bio stimulant BIORMA replaced the bio stimulant CARBOFOL, since it showed better efficiency and lower investment cost for its application, thus boosting the use of biological products.
