Evaluación del comportamiento productivo de Rábano (Raphanus sativus L.) con aplicación de riego por goteo en el Cantón Mocha

Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate the productive behavior of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with the application of drip irrigation, this research was established in the canton Mocha Yanahurco hamlet, within the research of radish crop was established three treatments, with planting densities of (0.05 x 0.20), (0.10 x 0.20) and (0.15 x 0.20) m between plant and row respectively. A completely randomized design was used for each treatment. The variables studied were plant height, root diameter (radish), root weight (radish) and yield. The 5% Tukey test was used to analyze the data obtained for the variables. During the statistical analysis we were able to observe that for plant height we obtained values ranging from 12.47 to 19.55 cm, for root diameter the values ranged from 3.48 to 3.94 cm, for weight the values were higher than 27.87g to 38.73g and for yield we were able to observe values ranging from 6000 to 23000 kg/ha. Within the best planting spacing we can consider that T1 with 0.05 x 0.20 m between plant and row was the one with the best results, being this distance the adequate one for radish cultivation. In terms of production, T1 stood out as the best treatment with an average of 3313.33 g/m², while T3 was below with 863.33 g/m², being the treatment with the lowest production per square meter. The treatment that had the best results in all the variables studied was T1, establishing itself as the best treatment; however, T1 was the one that received the most water at 120 L/m².
