Efecto de las distancias de siembra en dos variedades del cultivo de haba (vicia faba), bajo un sistema de agricultura limpia.

Abstract

Bean cultivation originated in the early Neolithic age B.C. in the Near East, however, many authors estimate that it was evidenced in the Asian continent, North Africa, this legume is very rich in fiber and essential minerals since they are very beneficial for a daily diet in people with high cholesterol. This project was carried out in the site El Porvenir, in the city of El Carmen, Manabi, two planting distances were applied since it is expected that these have some impact on their production in yield per hectare, with distances of 1m x 1m and 1.5m x 1.5m in the two varieties of beans such as Vivia Faba and Phaseolus Lunatus. Data such as: plant height, plant diameter, number of leaves per plant, production weight/plant with husk, production weight/plant in grains, number of pods/plant, pod length, pod weight, number of grains/pod, bean weight, bean length and bean weight were analyzed, the data obtained were processed in InfoStat version 2020e. The production of these crops was witnessed at 90 days and harvested 107 days after planting. The yield per hectare of these two varieties under clean agriculture with two densities with the A1 variety obtained a higher yield with the B1 density with 555kg/hectare, in the A2 variety a higher production was evidenced with the B1 density with 872.5kg/hectare. In the economic analysis, a higher profitability was obtained with the A2B1 treatment with a net gain of 248.81$ and 3.34% in profitability
