Evaluación de tres bioestimulantes en el cultivo de pimiento (capsicum annuum l.) con diferentes dosis en la parroquia San Sebastián del Coca

Abstract

In San Sebastián parish of Coca exists a unknowledge of pepper crop management and therefore low production. The research objective was to evaluate three bio stimulants in pepper to improve production. The methodology implemented had a quantitative approach, an A x B factorial design was used, where factor A (Bio stimulants), has 3 levels (Agrostemin, Green Force and Evergreen) and factor B (dose) has 3 levels (low, medium and high), 9 treatments were obtained with 3 replicates each; data were taken from six plants at random for each replicate, it means eighteen plants per treatment, were evaluated on days 15, 30, 45, 60 and 65. The variables evaluated were: plant height, number of flowers, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit weight and yield (kg/ha). The treatment gave the best result at day 30 was Evergreen with a dose of 6g/L respect plant height (47.72 cm), number of flowers (3.61 units); At day 60 the treatments gave the best results were Evergreen with a dose of 6g/L giving a fruit length (12.31 cm), Green Force and Evergreen gave 5 fruits per plant with a dose 11g/L and 6g/L, respect to fruit diameter (5.69 cm) Evergreen with a dose 4g/L, highest weight (0.14 kg) Green Force with a dose 11g/L; and the highest yield (52000 kg/ha) was obtained by Green Force with a dose 11g/L. It was concluded that, when evaluating the yield, Green Force treatment with a high dose 11g/L obtained the highest result being the most efficient in production, as well as obtaining a higher profitability in the agribusiness.
