Evaluación de diferentes extractos de algas en pimiento (Capsicum annuum L.) en etapa vegetativa

Abstract

The present work is based on the application of 3 extracts of fresh water algae such as Azollae, Spirogira and Diatomea, with the application of these 3 extracts it is sought to improve the production of Capsicum annumm L bell pepper, the algae extracts contain a great amount of nitrogen and amino acids, The variables that participated in this research were number of flowers, plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter and root volume. A good yield of leaf mass helps to improve crop yield, the Azollae extract achieved a greater stem diameter according to the study conducted and data collection, the Azollae extract achieved a higher efficiency with a difference of almost 1% more than the other extracts, in relation to the number of flowers the Azollae extract was the one that presented the best performance, the Azollae extract was the most efficient as it obtained better results in 3 of the 5 variables. In relation to plant height, diatomea was the most efficient, and in relation to root volume, the best extract was that of spirogyra, which showed a higher yield than azollae and diatomea extracts. Key words: seaweed extract, azollae, diatomea, spirogyra, Capsicum annumm
