Item Evaluación del hidrolato de cola de caballo para la producción de plántulas de pimiento (Capsicum annuum)(2024-08) Malla Rodriguez, Kerly Yadira; Zurita Vásquez, José HernánPepper (Capsicum annuum) has become a highly appreciated vegetable globally, due to its high content of nutrients and vitamins that provide great benefits for human health. In our country, this crop is in high demand, which makes it essential to optimize its productivity and profitability. With this research, vigorous, strong and resistant seedlings to pests and diseases are obtained. Therefore, with this background, horsetail hydrosol was evaluated in three doses 0.5cc/L, 1cc/L, 1.5cc/L and two frequencies of eight and fifteen days, in the germination and growth stage. . pepper vegetable (Capsicum annum). A net plot of each experimental unit is used, made up of 10 seedlings, 3 repetitions are carried out with a randomized block experimental design in a 3x2+1 factorial arrangement. The variables evaluated were: germination percentage, number of leaves, plant height, stem diameter, root length, root volume, chlorophyll content; Data collection was taken forty days after germination, the comparison was carried out using Tukey's tests at 5% in the Infostad program. At the end of the analysis, it was determined that the appropriate treatment was D3F1 (Dose of 1.5cc/L and frequency of 8 days), generating better results in the variables of number of leaves, plant height, root volume, and root length. . and chlorophyll content, D2F2 (Dose of 1cc/L and frequency of 15 days) showed the best result in the germination percentage variable. However, none of the treatments influence the stem diameter, considering that this depends on many factors such as environmental and genetic; Therefore, it appears that the use of horsetail hydrolate causes positive effects in terms of the vigor and vegetative development of the pepper.
