Evaluación de dos programas nutricionales en el cultivo de melón (Cucumis Melo) en el cantón Yaguachi, provincia del Guayas.

Abstract

In the research to be carried out, the effects caused by the two different types of fertilization, in two different varieties of cantaloupe melon Edisto 47 and Cozumel F1, in the canton Yaguachi of the province of Guayas will be evaluated. The main objective of this test will be to identify which of the two fertilizations will achieve the best yields and in the same way reduce production costs. Applying precision agriculture will establish specific fertilizer mixtures according to the results exposed in soil analysis in Fertilization 2 in order to provide the soil with the nutrients necessary to avoid degrading the soil of the work area, and the mixture most commonly used by farmers in the area in Fertilization 1 will be used. Subsequently the variables (Quantity of curdled fruits per plant-Fruit Diameter-Weight of the fruit-Commercial fruits per plant) will be evaluated, to analyze how these mixtures affect in development of the plant. To carry out this project, an experimental design of fully randomized blocks was carried out, with 6 treatments and 5 repetitions giving a total of 30 experimental units, an ANOVA variance analysis will be performed and the average treatments that differ in the level of significance accepted through the Tuckey test (0.05) will be identified in the InfoStat statistical software. Evidence shall be established in posteriori to determine the differences in treatments which will indicate that fertilization is best suited to the aforementioned varieties of melon and the type of soil on which work is being worked.
