Evaluación de una solución nutritiva con diferentes concentraciones en el cultivo de tomate cherry (solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) en sustrato, en la prov. del Guayas.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of three different concentrations of nutrients in the nutrient solution on morphological parameters in an oval-type cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) in the province of Guayas. Within the experiment, the height of the plant, the diameter of the stem, the number of fruits per batch, the average weight of the fruit and the brix of the fruits were assessed. Additionally, a peciolo seed analysis is carried out on the tomato plant of calcium, nitrate and potassium throughout the crop. With regard to plant height, stem diameter and number of flowers (with an average of 9 flowers per bunch) no significant differences were found between treatments. In terms of average fruit weight and brix degrees, no difference was found between treatments. Similarly, the concentrations of calcium, nitrate and potassium in peciol savannah showed no differences. In conclusion, with the concentrations used in the different nutritional solutions, no effect was found on any of the variables studied.
