Empleo de microorganismos eficaces aplicados al cultivo de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum) en huertos urbanos.

Abstract

The research proposal aims to evaluate the use of efficient microorganisms in urban gardens applied to tomato varieties (Charleston, Airton and Kartier), and to identify which of the treatments offers better yields and an economic benefit. The research is experimental and will have a quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach, and data will be analyzed and interpreted by applying different deductive methods. A mixture of efficient microorganisms will be established to apply in tomato plants planted in urban gardens (Hybrids Charleston, Kartier, Airton) and their behavior in plants will be evaluated by contrasting the results in applications in the traditional way. To make the calculations, the statistical package Infostat will be used, which will allow accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis. The treatments will be established in three different varieties of tomato and 3 different applications. The variables to be evaluated will be Plant growth, the plants will be measured at random and a weekly average will be established of how many centimeters the plant increased; number of clusters per plant, the clusters per plant will be counted and plants will be chosen at random to establish an average number of fruits per cluster and number of leaves, which will count the number of leaves per plant to determine pruning depending on the state of crop development.
