    EvaIuación de la electrocultura en Ia producción de tomate riñon (Solanum lycopersicum) de la variedad Pietro
    (2025-02) Quiña Telenchana Bryan Ricardo; Velástegui Espin Giovanny Patricio
    The present research was carried out in the Izamba parish of the Ambato canton, provinceofTungurahua,withthepurposeofapplyingelectrocultureandobservingitsimpact on the growth and yield of kidney tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants using galvanized wire antennas number 12. A randomized complete block design with four treatments and a controlwithoutantennawasused.Byapplyingweakelectricfieldstotheplants,theobjective was to improve crop quality and reduce the need for chemical inputs. Plants exposed to the H2A1 antenna with a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 20 cm, the study found that the specific configuration of the electrical antennae significantly influenced the size and weight of tomatoes exhibiting larger fruits with a polar diameter of 6.31 cm and equatorial diameter of 7.91 cm with an average weight of 225.10 gr. These findings suggest that electrocultivation has the potential to improve tomato production and contribute to more sustainable farming practices. While the study found no significant effects on plant height or fruit number, the positive results with respect to fruit size and weight warrant further investigation into the underlying mechanisms and optimal application of electroculture in tomato cultivation.
