Evaluación del efecto de la aplicación de citoquinina en el prendimiento de plantas injertadas de la variedad Hass de aguacate (persea americana Mill).

Abstract

The avocado (Persea Americana) is a tree native to Mexico that has gained global relevance due to the diverse properties of its fruit. Among the avocado varieties, the Hass stands out for its great acceptance among consumers. In this context, the research was carried out, with the objective of evaluating the effect of the application of biostimulants on the budding of grafted plants of the Hass variety of avocado (Persea Americana Mill). The research was carried out at the 5 Hermanos Bustos Farm, which is located in Cerecita, Guayas, Ecuador, 4 treatments were implemented which are: T1- T2 – and T3 is with the application of cytokinin to the branches with a dose of 40 , 60 and 80 c/c respectively in a 10 liter bucket and we let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes and then proceed to graft, T4-control, sample of plants without cytokinin. The result was obtained with inferential tests (ANOVA tests) to compare the averages of the variables height, thickness and number of leaves, they were significant for the level of significance established for the 5% tests, with a height variable T 0.0135 and p- value 0.66, the variable thickness T 0.03 and p-value 0.35 and number of leaves T 0.05 and p-value 0.12 and finally the comparison of the yield proportions at 5% where a difference was found between T2 with a dose of 60 c/ c and the control T4 without biostimulant, the other treatments with doses of 60 c/c and 80 c/c showed no significant difference.
