Desarrollo de un huerto urbano sostenible, como estrategia de autosustentabilidad familiar, usando dos tipos de sustratos en hortalizas.

Abstract

The purpose of the research presented was the development of a sustainable urban garden, as a strategy for family self-sustainability, using two types of substrates in vegetables, this research was carried out in the city of Guayaquil, province of Guayas. The treatments were elaborated from the combination of the factors under study, both mixtures with the substrates had sowing soil, yellow soil, biofertilizer and phosphoric rock. The study was carried out with the T-test with the comparison of population means by means of the T-Student. After the analysis and interpretation of data, it was determined that the treatment with coconut fiber substrate obtained the best averages in the agronomic characteristics of the different crops, since plant height, number of leaves, days to harvest and fruit weight increased: The results obtained in the research and their respective statistical tabulation with respect to the yield of the different crops, it was observed that the treatment that stood out was the use of coconut fiber with a value of 471. 6 g/m² in the radish crop and 600 g/m² in the lettuce crop. At the end of this research, it was concluded that the use of coco peat as a substrate does benefit the plant in its formation and development, increasing the productivity of the crops.
