Evaluación del efecto del Bioestimulante FertuMax sobre la germinación, altura y componentes de rendimiento de arveja (Pisum sativum L.) Var. Temprana en el cantón Tisaleo.

Abstract

Currently, the application of biostimulants in crops is one of the methods that allows the stimulation of seed germination, increase its development, and improve harvest efficiency. The present research work was developed in the Agua Santa neighborhood, belonging to the Tisaleo Canton, with the purpose of evaluating the Fertumax Biostimulant, based on cytokinins and seaweed Ascophyllium nodosum, Sargasum sp. and Laminaria sp. In this experiment, 3 different doses of the Biostimulant were evaluated, (1.5 cc/l; 2.5 cc/l and 3.5 cc/l) and a control without Biostimulant, the application was made to the seed and in the flowering stage. A completely randomized block experimental design (DBCA) was executed, with 3 treatments and 4 repetitions plus 1 control, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test at 5% were applied. The application of D2 (FertuMax 2.5 cc/l), was the treatment that presented significant statistical differences, therefore, it positively influenced the variables of height at 30 days, number of grains per pod, weight of pods and yield in green, obtaining means of 7 cm, 6.43 grains per pod, 597 g and 0.60 kg, respectively. In the variables germination percentage, plant height at 60 and 90 days, when performing the Tukey test at 5%, it was obtained that the results are statistically equal, however, it presented numerical differences, the best treatments were with 92 .75% for treatment D2 (FertuMax2.5 cc/l) and D3 (FertuMax3.5 cc/l), 16.50 cm and 37.75 cm, respectively
