Efecto de diferentes tipos de sustratos y contenedores en el desarrollo del cultivo de mora (rubus glaucus).

Abstract

The present research work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the development of blackberry cultivation in different containers and mixtures of substrates. The experiment was carried out in the "Querochaca" Experimental Teaching Farm owned by the Technical University of Ambato, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, located in the canton of Cevallos, province of Tungurahua. In the test, containers of different capacity were used: 10 liters, 15 liters and 20 liters. In addition to combinations of substrates using rice husk, coconut fiber, compost and agricultural soil. The planting of the mulberry in the substrates was carried out and irrigation was carried out according to the requirement of the crop. A factorial experiment (A x B + 1) arranged in a Completely Randomized Block Design (DBCA) with three repetitions was performed, where the variables were registered: root volume, root system length, plant height, leaf area and moisture of the substrates. The best results in the agronomics were obtained with the use of the 20 liter container and a mixture of substrates in a ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1; the best root volume (17.43 cc), root system length (34.87 cm), plant height (42.53 cm) and leaf area (165.90 cm2) were obtained, however it is necessary to mention that all The treatments used provided conditions for the development of blackberry cultivation.
