    This study was conducted on the property of Mrs. Julia Solina, located in the Artezon village, part of the Pelileo canton. The objective was to evaluate the production of blackberry (Rubus Glaucus Benth) with the application of organic fertilizers. For the implementation of the trial, a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) was used with four treatments in three replications. The data were subjected to a Tukey significance test at 5%. The variables evaluated included the number of new shoots, the length of new shoots, the diameter of new shoots, fruit weight, and the number of flowers and inflorescences per branch. The products used corresponded to the treatments: T1 (pig manure), T2 (commercial compost), T3 (cow manure), and T4 (guinea pig manure), all applied at a dose of 2 kilograms per plant per square meter every 21 days. The Tukey multiple comparison test shows significant differences between treatments. T4 (cow) with an average of 17.67 new shoots and T1 (pig) are in the same group with 18.33 (A), indicating no significant differences between them. T3 (guinea pig) is in a different group (B) with a value of 14.67, and T2 (compost) is in another group (C) with 13.44, indicating significant differences from the other treatments. Similarly, regarding the length of new shoots, it can be observed that the treatments with cow manure (T4) and guinea pig manure (T3) show the highest average shoot lengths, with 22.96 cm and 22.59 cm, respectively, compared to the treatments with pig manure (T1) and compost (T2), which show shorter lengths of 19.47 cm and 17.92 cm, respectively. The analysis of variance for the variable length of new shoots taken 30 days after the first application shows a significant difference between treatments with a p-value of 0.1712 and a coefficient of variation of 13.12%. For the length of new shoots 30 days after the first application, the data obtained indicate no statistically significant differences between the treatments regarding the diameter of new shoots, as all treatments fall within the same significance range (A). Although treatments T4 (cow) and T1 (pig) show a slightly larger average diameter (0.05) compared to treatments T3 (guinea pig) and T2 (compost) (0.04), these differences are not large enough to be considered statistically significant. Regarding yield, the classification of all treatments in the "A" range suggests that there are no significant differences in yield per plant between the different treatments at the 5% significance level. This indicates that, although there are variations in the average values—T1 (pig) with a yield of 1725.67 Kg/Ha, T3 (cow) with 1204.33 Kg/Ha, T4 (compost) with 1152.33 Kg/Ha, and T2 (guinea pig) with 941.00 Kg/Ha these differences are not statistically significant.
