Diseño Estadístico Experimental para el Estudio de la Respuesta del Maíz (Zea Mays L.) a la Aplicación Edáfica Complementaria de Tres Tipos de Abono Sintético a Dos Dosis en la Comunidad de Peñas, Cantón Tiwintza, Provincia de Morona Santiago.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to apply the Experimental Statistical Design to compare eight treatments formed by the combination of synthetic fertilizers at two doses, Nitrogen (150, 300) Kg/ha, Phosphorus (40, 80) Kg/ha and Potassium (100,200) Kg/ha plus a control treatment to test if they have effects on corn production in the Peñas Community, Tiwintza Canton. For the collection of information, we worked together with the municipal agronomist who guided the process of sowing, fertilization, fumigation, harvesting and drying of the corn. For the statistical analysis, the SPSS and Excel computer programs were used. When applying the experimental method, the techniques used were the randomized complete block design that tested the influence of the plots on corn production. And the factorial design that managed to determine that treatment 7 as the winner, the same one that is composed of Nitrogen at the level of 300 kg/ha, Phosphorus at the level of 40 kg/ha, Potassium at the level of 200 kg/ha yielding on average 12.35 qq/ha, since it maximizes production when compared to the rest of the treatments, the same ones that in qq/ha yield: T1= 6.07, T2=7.99, T3=7.51, T4=7 .65, T5=9.27, T6=5.69, T8=7.43, T9=7.46. Proving that the three types of synthetic fertilizer have an effect on production, which allowed improving the quality and quantity of corn. Therefore, it is recommended to the Municipality of the Tiwintza Canton to proceed with the sowing in the rest of the Communities since it is possible to optimize time and resources.
