Evaluación del comportamiento agronómico de cuatro líneas promisorias de avena bajo las condiciones agroecológicas de Querochaca

Abstract

Oats (Avena sativa) is a very important crop worldwide, in Ecuador this crop has come to have a good adaptation thanks to the geographical characteristics that it presents, the present investigation had the purpose of evaluating the agroecological behavior of 4 promising lines of oats in the sector Querochaca in order to determine which variety of oats has the best agroecological adaptation in the study place, in the Querochaca sector, 4 promising lines of oats and a control were cultivated, which was designed an essay with 3 repetitions for each of the variables, The variables that were taken into account were: Days to spike, plant height, type of straw, spike size, number of grains per spike, yield, hectoliter or specific weight, weight of a thousand grains, type and color of grain, diseases. For the results, they were analyzed using tables and graphs obtained by the INFOSTAT software. The appearance of the panicle in line AS-17- 002 was 109 days for which it was determined with a late promising line. Finally, it was possible to determine that the AS-17-000 lines have a higher yield and a better adaptation to the agroecological conditions of the area.
