Efecto de cobertura vegetal sobre el secuestro de carbono orgánico a diferentes profundidades en el cultivo de pitahaya

Global warming is a worrying phenomenon and is triggered by gases such as carbon dioxide that accumulate in the atmosphere. Agriculture is one of the main contributors to this phenomenon, so it is important to know how the soil is managed. influences its ability to capture organic carbon, this study was carried out on the San José farm located in the Caña site of the Quiroga parish belonging to the Bolívar canton, Manabí Province, Ecuador. The objective was to know the effect of plant cover in the soil on the sequestration of organic carbon at different depths in pitahaya cultivation using a factorial design in random block arrangements (AXBXC) with three study factors, factor A, corresponds to coverage (with coverage, without coverage) and factor B corresponds to depth, with four levels ranging from (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30 centimeters) and factor C that corresponds to the location, with two locations (under the plant and between streets). The statistical analysis presented significant differences in the concentrations and accumulation of carbon that were carried out in the management with coverage compared to the management without coverage specifically in the plant location. These results showed that management with cover has great potential in capturing organic carbon in the soil and maintaining physical and chemical characteristics.
