    (2024-08) Palate Amaguaña, Veronica Nataly; Velástegui Espín, Giovanny Patricio
    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.

    Extracción de cromo total de la capa arable de los suelos contaminados por carnaza con la aplicación de dos tipos de abono orgánico en el cultivo de fréjol (Phaseolus vulgaris)
    (2017) Quinapanta Cullpa, Laura Marisol; Ibarra López, Bertha Elizabeth
    The objective of this investigation was to determine the total chrome concentration of the arable layer of the soils as a consequence of the inadequate use of tannery residuals, by utilizing two types of organic fertilizers: humus soil and compost on a beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) crop in two doses; where we evaluated: the amount of chrome in the soil, days to fruit emergence, days to flowering period, height of the plant, length of the roots. Through the application of the H2C2 treatment (Humus soil 1 Kg/m2; compost 1kg/m2) in a beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) crop,the amount of chrome in the soil decreased considerably, reporting 29,56mg/Kg, which means a 70,9% reduction of the total amount of chrome present in the soil. Regarding to days to fruit emergence, the H2C1 (Humus soil 1 Kg/m2; Compost 0,5 Kg/m2) treatment had better results, showing 8 days to fruit emergence, compared to T witness which was 14 days. In the variable days to flowering period, the H2C1 (Humus soil 1 Kg/m2; Compost 0,5 Kg/m2) treatment presented an optimum result, being the earliest by reporting 71 days to flowering period, whereas the T witness presented 89 days. The H2C1 (Humus soil 1 Kg/m2; Compost 0,5 Kg/m2)treatment showed higher bean plants of 48 cm, while the T witness showed 33 cm in height. By using the H2C1 (Humus soil 1 Kg/m2; Compost 0,5 Kg/m2) treatment it was possible to obtain longer roots of 23 cm, while the T witness showed a root length of 10 cm. It is possible to conclude that the use of organic fertilizers: humus soil and compost, reduces the chrome concentration in the soil, and allows for the bean root and fruit development.

    Uso de zeolita y humus en el cultivo de zanahoria amarilla (Daucus carota L.)
    (2015) Torres Aimara, Rosendo Vladimir; Curay, Segundo
    Esta investigación fue realiza en la Granja Experimental Docente de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato, ubicada en el caserío Tambo-Querochaca del cantón Cevallos provincia de Tungurahua, a una latitud de 01°22´02” S, longitud de 78°35´00” W y una altitud de 2865 msnm. A partir de los resultados obtenidos estadísticamente y la observación de campo se puede concluir que en la variable longitud de hojas se obtuvo como mejor resultado al tratamiento Z3 (zeolita 3000kg/ha) en el uso como material que absorbe los minerales del suelo y a medida que la planta lo necesita, posiblemente debido a la absorción de nutrientes mucho mayor con este tipo de material con una longitud de 25.60cm. En cuanto a la variable longitud de raíz a través de los resultados estadísticos se puede concluir que en la variable longitud de raíz el mejor tratamiento resultó ser Z3 (zeolita 3000kg/ha) con una media de 13.99cm, seguido por el tratamiento H3 (Humus 15,000kg/ha), con una media de 13.29cm. Cabe mencionar que la zanahoria necesita de una estructura suelta para que su raíz se desarrolle ampliamente a la exigencia del mercado y consumo. Es así como el resultado mayor que se obtuvo con la zeolita, donde la estructura porosa de la zeolita ayuda a mantener el suelo aireado. Con relación a la variable diámetro de raíz se concluye que según los resultados estadísticos obtenidos y la observación de campo en el transcurso de la investigación que en la variable diámetro de la raíz el tratamiento con mejor resultado se obtuvo con H3 (Humus 15,000 kg/ha), el cual se ubicó en el primer lugar con una media de 48.70 mm, seguido por el Z3 (Zeolita 3000 kg/ha)| con 47.98 mm como media, aunque su diferencia parecería no tan relevante podemos sugerir que posiblemente este resultado sea por la nutrición absorbida por la planta en cuanto al humus y por la estructura propicia en el suelo, su composición por lo general están presentes todos los nutrientes: Nitrógeno, Fósforo, Potasio, Calcio, Magnesio, Manganeso, Hierro y Sodio en cantidad suficiente para garantizar el perfecto desarrollo de las plantas, además de un alto contenido en materia orgánica el humus favorece la circulación del agua, el aire y las raíces. Las tierras ricas en Humus son más esponjosas, más aireadas y menos sensibles a la sequía. En la variable rendimiento de acuerdo al análisis estadístico y la observación de campo se concluye que el tratamiento Z3 (Zeolita 3000 kg/ha), que obtuvo una media de 40.67 Tm/ha), esto se podría deber al mejor aporte y desarrollo que obtuvo a través de los minerales de la zeolita con este tipo de dosis, así como el mejoramiento estructural en el suelo para el desarrollo de raíz y la absorción de nutrientes por parte de la planta, permite aumentar la productividad de los cultivos, lográndose incrementar las cosechas de zanahorias en porcentajes desde el 15% hasta el 63%. Así mismo la zeolita funciona como soporte de elementos en forma iónica, además de que retiene la humedad y mejora la estructura del suelo, llevando consiguiente a la fertilidad del suelo. Además, los cationes cambiables influyen en la estructura, actividad biológica, régimen hídrico y en la reacción del suelo.
