    (2010) Ortiz Cargua, Adriana Elizabeth; Beltrán, Octavio
    An investigation of an Evaluation of the application of three doses of three organic fertilizers in the Cultivation of Kai-lan (Brassica alboglabrá) was held in the Parroquia La Península del Cantón Ambato-Tungurahua Province, at 2550 masl with an average temperature of 16 ° C and a mean of 477 mm of annual rainfall. The General Objective was established: Evaluate the application of three doses of three organic fertilizers in the Cultivation of Kai-lan and as Specific Objectives: To carry out the taxonomic classification and morphological description of the Kai-lan (Brassica alboglabrá); Determine the best source and the best doses of fertilizers applied in the cultivation of Kai-lan in the parish of the Peninsula; Propose a basic technical sheet for the production of Kai-lan that is suitable for larger plantations and is a guide for farmers; to determine the acceptance of the Ambato population in front of a new vegetable; and, contribute to the expansion of the productive spectrum of vegetables, for the horticultural area of the parish the Peninsula. The factors under study were: Factor A: Organic Fertilizers: Chicken Manure (Al), Bovine Manure (A2) and Vermiabono (A3); and Factor B: Dose: Low (DI), Medium (D2) and High (D3). For Chicken Manure the doses were: 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5 kg / m2; for Bovine Manure: 0.4; 0.8 and 1.2 kg / m2 and for Vermiabono: 0.4; 0.6 and 1.0 kg / m2 A Random Complete Blocks Design (DBCA) was applied in a factorial arrangement of 3 x 3 + 1 with a total of 10 treatments resulting from the factorial combination plus the Control in which no applied some fertilizer with 3 repetitions. The experimental unit consisted of 0.75 m2 plots. The Analysis of Variance and the Tukey Test at 5% were carried out for the sources that presented statistical significance. The evaluated indicators were: plant height at 30 and 45 days, weight of harvested stems per plant, slenderness, yield and number of harvested plants. Kai-lan was determined to be a vegetable of the brassica genus. For all indicators studied, the Factorial ranked first compared to the Witness. Regarding the variable Plant Height at 30 days, the three sources behaved similarly to the doses; Among the treatments, the following stand out: Chicken Manure * High Dose with 15.19 cm, Bovine * High Dose with 15.07 cm, Vermiabono * Medium Dose with 17.96 and Vermiabono * Dose Height with 20.22 cm the other treatments presented lower heights. In the variable Plant Height at 45 days, in the same way for Fertilizers and Dose there is a similar behavior in all the levels of these factors, in the treatments the Control and Vermiabono * Low Dose, presenting lower values of the other treatments, Vermiabano is a stand out. * High Dose with 29.24 cm and Vermiabono * Medium Dose with 25.27 cm. In the variable Weight of harvested stems per plant, in relation to Fertilizers: Vermiabono obtained 0.053 kg / plant; Regarding the Doses: High with 0.051 and Medium with 0.0445 kg / plant occupy the first places. In the treatments, Vermiabono * High Dose stands out with 0.068 kg / plant. In the Slenderness indicator, for Fertilizers we find Vermiabono and Bovino with 0.00213 and 0.00189, kg / cm, respectively; Regarding the Doses, the three behave in a similar way, while in the treatments Vermiabono * High Dose and Vermiabono * Medium Dose stand out with 0.0023 kg /. Regarding Yield, for Fertilizers Vermiabono stands out with 1.4563 kg / m2 in relation to Dose, High and Medium Dose are located with 1.39215 and 1.09526 kg / m ", while the Low Dose occupies rank B. Among the treatments is Vermiabono * High Dose with 2.12 kg / m2 in range A, Vermiabono * Average dose with 1.4307 kg / m2 in range B, the rest of the treatments are located in lower ranks. In the variable Number of Plants harvested per plot, among Fertilizers it is ranked in second place, the Witness, all other treatments rank first with an average between 19.33 and 22.67 floors. As for Dose, all three behave in a similar way. A high percentage of the Ambato population does not know about or have consumed Kai-lan, but they would very much like to. There is a very good marketing outlook for restaurants in Chinese / Asian Food. It is recommended to fertilize kai-lan with medium and high doses of vermiabono, carry out a study detailed information on the phenological development of brassica and the technical details of the entire cultivation, as well as spreading the cultivation and uses of this vegetable.

    (2019-11) Romero Larrea, Carlos Aníbal; Gutiérrez Albán, Alberto
    Considering the importance of fertilizers in the cultivation of potatoes in the field, this research work aims to evaluate the performance of pre-basic seed potato red “chaucha” variety from the aeroponic production system, with the application of three edaphic fertilizers, to reason of different doses. The study was carried out in the Querochaca experimental teaching farm owned by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato, located in Cevallos canton, Tungurahua province, Ecuador; at an altitude of 2865 masl, geographic coordinates 01 ° 22 '02' 'of South Latitude and 78 ° 36' 20 'of West Longitude. In the research, a randomized block design with six treatments (Different proportions of edaphic fertilizers) and triplicate was used. The size of the plot of each replica and of each treatment was 21.6 m2 (5.4 m x 4 m), with five rows of seeding separated by 0.9 m of each furrow. Seed 25 seeds of potatoes in each plot of each replica, placed at 0.5 m of each seed and distributed 5 seeds for each furrow. During the processing of the data the statistical program, STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI.I was used in the Analysis of Variance and in the Tests of Comparison of Means by Tukey (5%). The result of the investigation determined the best treatment for T4, which used the following fertilizers: 350 kg of sowing Plus at sowing, 175 kg of Engrose Plus 45 days after sowing and 175 kg of Ferti special Plus at 70 days of the sowing; producing a yield of 9.68 ± 0.47 tons of potato / ha at 137 days of cultivation. The Internal Control Index in the tubers obtained gives us values similar to those of a registered potato seed, that is, the T4 Treatment tubers are of good quality to be used as seed for cultivation. In conclusion, the performance in the cultivation of red “chaucha” potato is low in comparison with other potato varieties, but this low value is compensated by the good acceptance of the potato in the markets and the higher price in relation to the improved potatoes.

    (2019) Morales Camacho, Héctor Daniel; Barros Rodríguez, Marcos A
    The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of the addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and exogenous fibrolytic enzymes in forages of Musa spp. on in vitro rumen function. The work was carried out in the experimental farm Querochaca of the UTA. The research was conducted under a completely randomized design with a 3 x 4 factorial arrangement. The data was analyzed according to the model used. The evaluated forages were added additives: S. cerevisiae and fibrolytic enzymes. To conform the following treatments: TO: M. acuminata without additives, TOE: M. acuminata with enzymes (0.002 mg/kg), TOS: M. acuminata with S. cerevisiae (0.002 mg/kg), TOES: M. acuminata with enzymes (0.002 mg/kg) and S. cerevisiae (0.002 mg/kg). TP: M. balbisiana without additives, TPE: M. balbisiana with enzymes (0.002 mg/kg), TPS: M. balbisiana with S. cerevisiae (0.002 mg/kg), TPES: M. balbisiana with enzymes (0.002 mg/kg) and S. cerevisiae (0.002 mg/kg) and TG: M. paradisiaca without additives, TGE: M. paradisiaca with enzymes (0.002 mg/kg), TGS: M. paradisiaca with S. cerevisiae (0.002 mg/kg), TGES: M. paradisiaca with enzymes (0.002 mg/kg) and S. cerevisiae (0.002 mg/kg). The production of total gas, CH4 and CO2, pH and digestibility and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were determined. The total gas production was lower in the treatment TPE (265.5 mLgas/0.5g Fermented DM) compared to other treatments (P<.0001). The lowest (P=0.0001) CH4 production was observed in the treatment TO (36.3 mLCH4/0.5g Fermented DM), with respect to CO2 production was lower in the treatment TOS (71.3 mLCO2/0.5g Fermented DM). The pH showed significant differences (P<.0001) between treatments. The rumen digestibility of DM and OM was higher (P=0.0001) in the treatment TPS (45.6 and 45.1% respectively). The proportion (mol/100mol) of volatile fatty acids, no showed significant differences between treatments evaluated (P>0.05). It can be concluded that the incorporation of additives such as enzymes and S. cerevisiae in fibrous forages of Musa spp can benefit the rumen functions, increasing digestion and mitigating the production of greenhouse gases in ruminants.

    Caracterización morfológica de maíz blanco harinoso (Zea mays L.) material nativo “Chazo” de la provincia de Chimborazo
    (2019-06) Obando Arequipa, Erika Salome; Dobronski Arcos, Jorge
    This research work was carried out on the property of Mr. César Obando Arequipa of the Zumbalica sector, corresponding to the San Felipe parish, located in the canton Latacunga, province of Cotopaxi, with the objective of giving the morphological characterization of a native material of corn floury white called “Chazo”, with the possibility of being used in processes of genetic improvement in future projects, which value and potentiate its use. This investigation is descriptive therefore does not have a hypothesis, experimental design and treatments. The data were taken according to the descriptors of CIMMYT (International Center for Genetic Improvement of Maize and Wheat) and IBPGR (International Board for Plant Genetic Resources) (1991). Data of the most outstanding characteristics and of economic importance were recorded, such as ear length (13.2 cm), ear diameter (6 cm), ear weight (165.57 g), grain length (12, 1 cm) and grain width (10.8 cm). Another very important fact that was taken into account is the days of male and female flowering, a general average of male flowering is 139.25 days and female flowering 152.5 days. According to Pardey et al. (2016) the difference between male and female flowering should be from 8 to 15 days for a good pollination and grain formation, in this research the difference of male and female flowering days is 13.25 that is to say that white corn floury (Zea mays L.) native material “Chazo”, has a high precocity and is apt to be used in processes of genetic improvement or plant breeding, since it meets all the corresponding morphological characteristics.

The treatments were eight. The experimental design of completely randomized blocks (ANOVA) was used, in a factorial arrangement 2 x 3 + 2, with three repetitions. The variance analysis, tests of Minimum Significant Difference 5% and Tukey tests 5% were performed. The economic analysis was carried using the cost benefit ratio (RBC) methodology. The stakes without leaves treatments (T1), reported higher volume of the root system (0,91 ml at 45 days and 1,19 ml at 60 days), as well as better length (4,94 cm at 45 days and 7,55 cm at 60 days) and weight of the root system (0,45 g at 60 days). The leaf area was higher (2,35 cm2 at 45 days and 3,16 cm2 at 60 days), reaching the best percentage of rooted cuttings (93,06%). The aloe extract application (E1), produced highest volume of roots (0,97 ml at 45 days and 1,26 ml at 60 days), as best growth in root length (5,07 cm at the 45 days and 7,28 cm at 60 days) and greater weight (0,33 g at 45 days and 0,47 g at 60 days). The leaf area was better (2,40 cm2 at 45 days and 3,14 cm2 at 60 days), as well as the percentage of rooted cuttings (92,36%). From economic analysis was concluded that, among the treatments with the application of vegetable extracts, the extract of aloe in leafless cuttings (T1E1), presented the highest benefit-cost ratio of 0,22.
