Determinación de la producción en diferentes densidades de plantación de brócoli (Brassica oleracea var. Avenger) con aplicación de riego por goteo

Abstract

The present study on the production of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Avenger) based on different planting densities through the application of drip irrigation, was carried out in the Izamba canton belonging to the province of Tungurahua, with the purpose of determining the best production yield of the densities used, which were 0.30, 0.40 and 0.50 m between plant and row. An experimental design with completely randomized blocks with three treatments and their corresponding three replications was used. The data obtained were analyzed using Tukey's test at 5%, where the following results were obtained for the following variables: plant height, diameter of the boll (30, 60 days and harvest), weight of the boll and yield. The data of the variables recorded were the fundamental key to perform a statistical analysis, where it was possible to conclude that the treatment that resulted with a considerable height during the harvest process is A2 with a mean of 35.03 cm, it is worth mentioning that the diameter of the pellet was not formed at 30 days so, at 60 days and in the harvest process the best was A3 with means of 2.89 and 22.76 cm respectively. However, in the weight of the pellet, the A3 treatment has a mean of 1399 g and the A2 with 4058.83g. Finally, regarding the production yield the best treatment was A2 with 4058.83 g/m2, where the water consumption per square meter was 169.38 L/m2, while the 169.38 L/m2, while the A3 treatment had a production of 3469.53 g/m2 and a water consumption 107.6 L/m2.
