Evaluación del efecto de aceite ozonizado sobre la incidencia de la enfermedad de la mancha anular (Papaya ringspot virus-P, PRSV-P) en papaya (Carica papaya) en condiciones de campo.

Abstract

The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effect of Ozonated oil on the incidence of the ringspot disease (Papaya ringspot virus-P, PRSV-P) in papaya (Carica papaya) in field conditions and guarantee an efficient control and economically profitable. The variety to be used is Maradol. The variables to be studied will be the index of healthy plants, diseased plants and fruit states. For the subsequent realization of the experimental design, it will be carried out through the use of a randomized block design with 5 treatments and 4 repetitions to evaluate the efficiency of the ozonized oil for the control of the papaya virus and the frequencies of applications. The theoretical bases and results in previous research for the control of fungi, viruses and bacteria with ozone in agriculture, show a possible positive result for the disease of the ring spot in papaya. Therefore, it is estimated that this proposal will benefit large and small producers by providing them with better yields and profits.
