description The use of fire by farmers has been a common practice worldwide for decades. The objective of this work was to diagnose the use of fire in agricultural activities at the Estancia Vieja site, Portoviejo canton, Manabí, Ecuador. For the development of the research, a non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. The sample size was calculated with the Decision Analyst STATSTM 2.0 software. The information was obtained by applying a semi-structured questionnaire to 123 agricultural producers. The statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS program (Version 22.0). The hot spots for contrast with the months in which fire is most used were obtained from the Fire Information for Resource Management System. In the locality, the use of fire in agricultural activities is common, mainly for clearing land destined for the implementation of agricultural crops. The respondents showed that they have knowledge about the hours and months in which they should burn in order to achieve the objective of eliminating the greatest amount of crop residues and weeds, as well as about the way to burn these fuels depending on the existing quantity of them and about the prevention measures they observe before burning. This information supports decision-making in the field of integrated fire management. It is suggested that similar research be carried out in other localities but considering the relationship of the use of fire with meteorological conditions, fire behavior and its effects on the environment.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue diagnosticar el uso del fuego en actividades agrícolas en el sitio Estancia Vieja, cantón Portoviejo, Manabí, Ecuador. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se utilizó un diseño no experimental transversal de tipo descriptivo. El tamaño de la muestra se calculó con el software Decision Analyst STATSTM 2.0. La información se obtuvo aplicando un cuestionario semiestructurado a 123 productores agrícolas. El análisis estadístico se realizó con el programa SPSS (Versión 22.0). Los focos de calor para el contraste con los meses en que más se usa el fuego fueron obtenidos de Fire Information for Resource Management System. En la localidad el uso del fuego en las actividades agrícolas es común, fundamentalmente para limpieza de terrenos destinados a la implementación de cultivos agrícolas. Los encuestados mostraron tener conocimientos sobre horas y meses en que deben quemar para obtener el objetivo de eliminar la mayor cantidad de residuos de cultivos y malezas, así como sobre la forma de quemar dichos combustibles en dependencia de la cantidad existente de los mismos y sobre las medidas de prevención que observan antes de quemar. Estas informaciones fundamentan la toma de decisiones en el ámbito del manejo integral del fuego. Se sugiere desarrollar investigaciones similares en otras localidades, pero considerando la relación del uso del fuego con condiciones meteorológicas, comportamiento del fuego y sus efectos sobre el medio ambiente.O uso do fogo pelos agricultores é uma prática comum em todo o mundo há décadas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi diagnosticar os usos do fogo em terras de vocação florestais no sítio Estancia Vieja, cantão de Portoviejo, Manabí, Equador. Para desenvolver a pesquisa foi utilizado um delineamento descritivo transversal não experimental. O tamanho da amostra foi calculado utilizando o software Decision Analyst STATSTM 2.0. A informação foi obtida através da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado a 34 mulheres e 89 homens, cujas idades variaram entre os 25 e os 74 anos. O processamento dos dados foi realizado no Microsoft Excel. Para algumas características foram calculados o nível de fidelidade das informações e o fator de consenso entre os informantes. Os dados dos meses em que o fogo é mais utilizado na Estância Vieja foram contrastados com as fontes de calor mensais registadas durante o período 2013 - 2022 com dados obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Incêndio para Gestão de Recursos (FIRMS). No município, o fogo é utilizado principalmente para limpar terrenos geralmente destinados ao plantio de Zea mays L. e Arachis hypogaea L., queimando o combustível empilhado em fileiras, o que é feito no período da manhã e principalmente nos meses de outubro e novembro. Atualmente, o uso do fogo é comum, sendo evidente o pouco conhecimento dos produtores inquiridos sobre o manejo do fogo e dos incêndios florestais, temas sobre os quais não receberam formação.Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo2025-01-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/cyt/article/view/82810.18779/cyt.v18i1.828Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 18 No. 1 (2025): Science and Technology Journal; 48-63Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 18 Núm. 1 (2025): Revista Ciencia y Tecnología ; 48-63Ciencia y Tecnología; v. 18 n. 1 (2025): Revista Ciência e Tecnologia; 48-631390-40431390-405110.18779/cyt.v18i1reponame:Revista Ciencia y Tecnologíainstname:Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedoinstacron:UTEQspahttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/cyt/article/view/828/997https://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/cyt/article/view/828/998Derechos de autor 2025 Vielka Monserrate Quijije Briones, Marcos Pedro Ramos Rodríguez, Daniel Gustavo Villavicencio Valdez, Tayron Omar Manrique Toalahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-07-02T15:17:04Zoai:revistas.uteq.edu.ec:article/828Portal de revistashttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/cytUniversidad públicahttps://www.uteq.edu.ecEcuadorCiencia y tecnología1390-40431390-4043opendoar:2025-07-02T15:17:04falsePortal de revistashttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/cytUniversidad públicahttps://www.uteq.edu.ecEcuadorCiencia y tecnología1390-40431390-4043opendoar:2025-07-02T15:17:04Revista Ciencia y Tecnología - Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedofalse
