Comportamiento agronómico del cilantro de pozo (Eryngium Foetidum) con tres tipos de distanciamientos de siembra.

Abstract

The present research was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the agronomic performance of coriander (Eryngium foetidum L. (Sacha culantro)) with three planting distances; for which three treatments T1 (10 x 10 cm), T2 (15 x 15 cm) and T3 (20 x 20 cm) were established in a Complete Randomized Design. The evaluation variables were: plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, number of leaves, green matter weight, yield and economic analysis. The results showed that the agronomic performance of cilantro was superior for the 15 x 15 cm planting distance measured in the following variables: plant height at 30 days (2,14 cm) and 60 days (12,12 cm); stem diameter at 30 days (4,96 mm) and 60 days (5,88 mm); leaf length at 30 days (7,90 cm) and 60 days (17,64 cm); number of leaves at 60 days (11,12 leaves). Cilantro yield did not vary by the effect of the different planting densities. It was determined that treatment T2 (15 x 15 cm) had a higher net profit with $ 15,839.94 USD, considered the most profitable from the economic point of view.
