Efecto de fitoestimulantes en plantas de viveros de maracuyá (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Degener) sobre sus características agronómicas para su trasplante.

Abstract

This work aims to evaluate the effect of phyto-stimulants in passion fruit nursery plants (Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa Degener) on their agronomic characteristics for their transplantation to the definitive site for which the effect of different phyto-stimulants in their development was assessed, selecting them through a comparative analysis of those that favorably influence the agronomic characteristics to finally perform an economic analysis according to the results achieved with the cultivation in nursery conditions. In addition, it was proposed as an alternative hypothesis that: The use of phyto-stimulants in the cultivation of passion fruit under nursery conditions favors the development of an ideal plant phenotype with morphoagronomic characteristics suitable for transplantation to the definitive site. Using a completely randomized design (DCA) with Analysis of Variance (ANDEVA) of the experimental trial, the variables were evaluated: number of leaves, plant height, stem diameter, and leaf area in each of the plants of each treatment by extracting of their respective planting cover; and proceeding with the cleaning of the entire root system for the exclusion of the existing soil, the length of the root system being measured in centimeters with a seam tape. Then, the mass of the root system was weighed in grams, obtaining that the control phytostimulant was the best by comparative analysis of those that favorably influence the agronomic characteristics of passion fruit plants, proving the alternative hypothesis raised
