    (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.

    (2019-06) 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.
