Manejo de población de insectos en pepino (cucumis sativus l.), bajo principios de producción limpia en el sector la isla, cantón Cumandá; provincia de Chimborazo

Abstract

The present research work carried out in the Eng. Milton Cevallos farm located in the Sector of the island, belonging to the canton Cumandá, province of Chimborazo, aiming to test new green alternatives for controlling pests in the culture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus l.) without causing damage to the environment, to the soil and to humanity in general. He material experimental used in this research was: the variety "Beth Alpha" of the House commercial Agripac S.A. and the hybrid "Jaguar F1" of the House commercial Alaska S.A, transplanted to them 15 days after the sowing to field open, using tutees of cane and piola, besides four macerated different based chili (Capsicum frutescens), garlic (Allium sativum) + SOAP , leaf tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and flor de muerto (Tagetes erecta). Is used the design of plot divided, where the plot main includes them products natural and the subplots them varieties, with four repetitions respectively, also is carried out tests of Tukey to the 1% and 5% for them treatments that were statistically significant; is used also key Entomological for identification of pests in the crop. The results obtained of them analysis determined that existed differences highly significant for the factor varieties in the variable number of fruits by plant, length of fruit, diameter of fruit, weight of fruit and performance; In addition to the factor of macerated in the variable number of fruits per plant, fruit, fruit, weight of fruit and throughput diameter length, however for the other factors no significant differences were found. In relation to the variable population of insects are identified high percentage of incidence with the macerated of flower of dead (P4), leaving with lower percentage of incidence the macerated of aji (P1) and the macerated of garlic + SOAP (P2).
