    Evaluación de sustratos y soluciones nutritivas en la producción hidropónica con sustratos sólidos en fresa (Fragaria x ananassa)
    (2018) Flores Barona, Mario David; Curay, Segundo
    The present research work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the development of the strawberry crop in different mixtures of substrates and several nutritive solutions. The experiment was conducted on the property of Mr. Mario Flores, located in the Andignato sector, Cevallos canton, Tungurahua province. In the trial, substrates with different combinations of rice husk, gravel, kekkilla and coconut fiber were used. The strawberry was planted in the substrates and irrigation was carried out according to the requirement of the crop. A factorial experiment (A x B) arranged in a Completely Randomized Block Design (DBCA) with three repetitions was performed, where the variables were registered: root volume, leaf volume and yield. The best results in the agronomics were obtained with the use of the S2M1 treatment; the best root volume (12.8 cc), leaf volume (55.53 cc) and yield (12068.06 kg / ha / week) was obtained, however it is necessary to mention that all the treatments used provided conditions for the development of the Strawberry cultivation. It was also determined that in the period August 2017-February 2018 it was necessary to use 314.90 mm of irrigation for the crop, using the drip irrigation method.
