    (2023-09) Núñez Chango, Sebastián Francisco; Valle Velastegui, Edgar Luciano
    Calcium deficiency in lettuce production is a metabolic failure that is not related to any pathogenic organism such as pests, fungi or bacteria. In the present work, the use of calcium-based fertilizers was evaluated in order to know with which product and dosage the lettuce crop will obtain better quality. Two products were evaluated: Cálix (P1) and Profol (P2); each with four different doses. The treatments were as follows: P1D1 (Cálix dose 0.5ml/L), P1D2 (Cálix dose 1.0 ml/L), P1D3 (Cálix dose 1.5ml/L), P1D0 (no application), P2D1 (Profol dose 1.0 ml/L), P2D2 (Cálix dose 1.5 ml/L), P2D3 (Cálix dose 2.0 ml/L), and P2D0 (no application). The experimental design used was completely randomized blocks with three replications, and the variables evaluated were plant height, cabbage weight, cabbage hardness and yield, with data taken at harvest time. In all the variables evaluated, the treatment that stood out was P1D3, with the following averages for the corresponding variables: plant height 22.54 cm; cabbage weight 2.46 kg; hardness 22.37 psi; and yield of 20497.23 kg/ha respectively. Through the research work, it was possible to determine whether there is an interaction between calcium-based fertilizers and the doses applied to the lettuce crop

    Evaluación de sustratos orgánicos a base de subproductos agrícolas en la germinación de semillas de lechuga (Lactuca sativa) variedad General
    (2022-09) Rumipamba Curicama, María Fernanda; Gutiérrez Albán, Alberto Cristóbal
    An agronomic evaluation of the feasibility of the production of vegetable seedbeds such as lettuce (Lactuca sativa) General variety was carried out, implanted in different substrates obtained from compost as a technological process for its production, the work was developed under greenhouse conditions. he composting phase was carried out on wooden crates, obtaining a total volume of 0.012 m3 per treatment, of which a volume of 0.009 m3 was used. The experimental design used contemplated a completely randomized block design and the ADEVA analysis of variance was applied, evaluating the characteristics of the substrates obtained with each biowaste and their effect on the dependent variables. Variables of germination vigor, plant development and quality of the substrates used were evaluated from bioresidues from the agricultural production of potatoes, corn and tree tomatoes in the province of Tungurahua. The substrates that allowed the best development of the plants in the lettuce crops were the mixture of potato residues plus a commercial substrate based on coconut fiber, with a vigorous plant development. The fact that the obtained substrates showed a C/N ratio close to or equal to the 20-25 range is highlighted, which predicts the fact that the influence exerted by the initial C/N ratio on the composting process and the action of the microorganisms obtained in the substrate. The seeds prepared with the best treatment germinated more quickly, presenting a larger seedling size, in addition to their growth being more vigorous, and their roots deployed more vigorously.

    Determinación de la eficiencia de la técnica de riego solar en la producción de lechuga (Lactuca sativa) en agricultura urbana
    (2021-09) Cordero Arévalo, María De Los Ángeles; Santana Mayorga, Rita Cumandá
    The present research refers to the implementation of an irrigation technique known as Kondenskompressor or solar drip irrigation for one of the most produced vegetable crops in the area of urban agriculture: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Which is based on the evaporation of water placed in plastic bottles (PET) recycling product as bases covered by a hood of the same material, which through the incidence of solar energy inside causes a greenhouse effect, very similar to the operation of the solar distillers in which the air is heated and the water evaporates condensing in the bell to form drops each time large which causes precipitation on its walls. In this trial, two study factors were evaluated: the number of bottles B1 (one bottle), B2 (two bottles), B3 (three bottles) per pot and volume of water D1(100 cc), D2 (200 cc), D3(300cc) resulting in nine treatments combining both factors. Although there were no statistical differences between treatments, one of the best results was obtained from the B2D1 treatment, but still did not provide enough water to obtain the expected results in the crop, so we determined that it is not efficient for lettuce cultivation due to the high demand for water from the crop and the climate (rain and cloudy sky) of the sector in which the test was conducted, they no longer allowed its full development due to lack of solar energy.

    Efecto de la aplicación de gallinaza de compostaje tradicional y comercial sobre las densidades de bacterias resistentes y genes de resistencia a antibióticos en cultivo de rábano (Raphanus sativus) y lechuga (Lactuca sativa)
    (2020-09) Cruz Morales, Carla Marisol; Calero Cáceres, William Ricardo
    Poultry manure is traditionally used as a good source of nutrients and organic matter in agricultural soils, especially in organic-farming systems. However, these materials can cause adverse effects on general soil conditions, since they contain high densities of potentially pathogenic enteric bacteria; such as antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) and their corresponding antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The use of these materials may represent a probable route of dissemination of pathogenic microorganisms and their determinants through the food chain. This thesis is part of the project "EVALUACIÓN DE LA DISEMINACIÓN AMBIENTAL DE GENES DE RESISTENCIA A ANTIBIÓTICOS POR MEDIO DEL ESTIÉRCOL DE GALLINA" (HCU 1752-CU-P-2019). The aim of this thesis is the evaluation of the effect of the addition of traditional and commercial composting on the densities of ARBs and ARGs in vegetables (lettuce and radish). The virulence and resistance mechanisms of the detected E. coli isolates were evaluated. The results suggest that traditional composting chicken manure influences to a greater extent the spread of ARBs and ARGs in relation to commercial chicken manure. The E. coli isolates presented an antibiotic multiresistance profile. The transconjugation experiments suggest the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of these bacteria were found encoded in chromosomes and not in plasmids. On the other hand, the qPCR technique was used to detect ARGs, which showed very high levels of detection for sul1 and blaTEM and low levels of detection to qnrS, tetW, ermB and 16S rDNA. The dissemination of ARBs and ARGs from traditional and commercial poultry manure to food is plausible, representing this a potential route of dissemination of antibiotic resistance determinants through the food chain.
