Comportamiento agronómico del zucchini (cucurbita pepo) bajo la aplicación de diferentes abonos orgánicos.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the agronomic performance of Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) with different organic fertilizers in the experimental farm Río Suma belonging to the Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí, in the canton El Carmen; for this purpose, four treatments were evaluated: T1 (Control), T2 (Biocompost), T3 (Humus) and T4 (Crops Algae), implemented in a Randomized Complete Block Design. It was concluded that there was a positive effect of the application of different organic fertilizers on the agronomic behavior of plant height (T0 with 33,48 cm) and number of leaves (T3: Humus with 11,73 leaves) at 60 days after the application of the treatments. There was no statistical significance in yield variables (number of fruits, fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length and yield). The financial analysis of the treatments evaluated reported T3 (Humus) as the most economically profitable, since it had a higher marginal rate of return of 13605.48 %.
