Evaluación de la producción de lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) con la aplicación de un bioestimulante más potasio en el caserío Yanahurco, cantón Mocha

Abstract

The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of the application of foliar biostimulants on the yield of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in the Yanahurco hamlet, Mocha canton. A completely randomized block design (CBAD) was applied, with 6 treatments including the control and three replications with the following formulations: F1 (Crop + Plus 1.5ml/L + Kelik Potassium 2ml/L), F2 (Crop + Plus 2.5ml/L + Kelik Potassium 2ml/L), F3 (Crop + Plus 3.5ml/L + Kelik Potassium 2ml/L), F3 (Crop + Plus 3, 5ml/L + Kelik Potassium 2ml/L), F4(Crop + Plus 1.5ml/L), F5(Kelik Potassium 2 ml/L), in the control the application of Crop + Plus and Kelik Potassium was not carried out, in the processing of the information the Tukey test was applied at 5% with the use of the INFOSTAT program. The parameters evaluated were plant height, cabbage weight, equatorial and polar diameter, and yield. Based on the statistical analysis, it was determined that the best treatment was F5 (Kelik Potassium 2 ml/L), since in the analysis of the different treatments it obtained the best values in terms of height (21.63 cm), cabbage weight (947.63 g), equatorial diameter (947.63 g), and equatorial diameter (947.63 g), 63g), in equatorial and polar diameter (16.67cm), and in yield (75810.67kg/h), which reflects that it could be complemented only with kelik potassium in lettuce production. It is recommended to promote the use of organic fertilization in agroecosystems in order to maintain the efficient use of natural resources.
