    Evaluación de dos bioestimulantes en la producción del forraje verde hidropónico de maíz (Zea mays)
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias. Carrera de Agronomía, 2025-01) Acuña Cabrera, Jayller Manuel; Pérez Salinas, Marco Oswaldo
    The main purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of Maxi-grow and Biozyme biostimulants on the development yield of hydroponic green forage (HGF) from corn (Zea mays) of the yellow morocho variety. A completely randomized design was implemented with three treatments, including the control, each with three replicates, evaluating variables such as seedling height, root mat height, fresh weight, dry matter, protein content, and fiber content. The doses of biostimulants applied were as follows (1.25 cc/l for Maxi-grow and 1.15 cc/l for Biozyme). The results showed that both biostimulants helped in the growth of FVH, with Maxi-grow standing out because it obtained the highest values in seedling height with 17.12 cm and in root mat with 4.39 cm. In turn, a higher fresh weight was evident in the treatments with biostimulants, demonstrating their effectiveness in increasing biomass. In terms of nutritional analysis, no significant variations in protein or fiber content were observed between treatments. The research concluded by demonstrating that the use of biostimulants is a favorable alternative for improving FVH yield, especially when seeking to increase biomass production. However, their influence on nutritional quality was limited. For future research aimed at improving the nutritional quality of forage, it is recommended to supplement the use of biostimulants with high-nitrogen nutrient solutions, while also evaluating different doses and application frequencies.

    (2022-03) Llamuca Manzano, Fernando David; Santana Mayorga, Rita Cumandá
    Sustainable development today needs advanced tools such as renewable energy mainly from the generation of biomass from agricultural by-products, taking into account the care of the environment in its production process. Throughout the planet, the types and diversity of waste of vegetable origin, such as forestry, agricultural or agri-food residues; allows its transformation into products with energy potential in the form of biomass and expresses the need to both evaluate and analyze these resources as energy sources. The research presented below evaluates energetically the biomass product of agricultural residues of potato crops (Solanum tuberosum) obtained in the Province of Tungurahua and which have the characteristics of a renewable resource. The energy characterization of this potato residue shows an average value of 15571.67 MJ/tn, which allows calculating the energy potential of the same residue, which corresponds to 0.03 GWh. Likewise, the results of the proximal analysis are presented with humidity values of 9.85%, ashes 14.66%, volatile content with 71.62%, fiber content 44.58% and fat contentin 046%. The evaluation of the results obtained from the calorific power and the amountof biomass show that the agricultural residues of the potato crop have energy potential whose characteristics convert this resource into renewable energy, which allows us to reduce the use of fossil fuels and improve the care of our environment.
