    The research project was carried out through the use of organic fertilizers such as Compost and Humus which improve crop yields, which is why it was used in the production of zucchini with the primary objective of evaluating the production of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) through the application of two organic fertilizers Compost which contains N (1.01%), P (0.02%) and K (0.10%) and Humus with a concentration of N (0.18%), P (0.21) and K (0. .13%), the amount of 2 kg/m2 was applied, a completely randomized block design (DBCA) was used, with two treatments and two repetitions plus a control. The variables studied were plant height, number of leaves, number of flowers, weight, length and diameter of the fruit. The results of this study demonstrated that the compost treatment (T1) significantly outperformed the other treatments in the evaluated variables. According to the 5% Tukey test, the T1 treatment obtained the highest plant height, with an average of 49.02 cm, compared to the humus treatment (T2) and the control, which reached 42.12 cm and 37.78 cm, respectively. Regarding the number of leaves, treatment T1 presented the highest average with 12 leaves, surpassing T2 with 10 leaves and the control with 9 leaves. Likewise, in the variable number of flowers at 45 days, T1 obtained an average of 11 flowers, while T2 and the control recorded 11 and 9 flowers, respectively. Regarding the weight of the fruits, treatment T1 reached an average of 2.11 kg, being significantly greater than T2 with 1.73 kg and the control with 1.07 kg. Similarly, the length of the fruits was greater in T1 with an average of 45.55 cm, followed by T2 with 39.22 cm and the control with 30.67 cm. Finally, the diameter of the fruits was also higher in treatment T1 with 9.58 cm, compared to T2 and the control, which obtained 9.12 cm and 7.77 cm, respectively. The compost treatment (T1) proved to be the most effective to improve the yield of the zucchini crop in terms of plant height, number of leaves and flowers, weight, length and diameter of the fruits.
