The study was conducted on the experimental campus La Teodomira, in the Agricultural Department of the Technical University of Manabí. We formulated 15 treatments from the combination of two factors: OM level (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the total material in pots) and EM (without inoculation, during transplantation and 10 days later. We used a completely randomized design and analyzed these yield variables: plant height (PH), number, length and average leaf weight, and yield in kg/m2. The analysis of variance (AOVA) was performed using the StatGraphics Centurion XVI v16.1.18, with the Tukey test at 95%. The results showed a positive effect of OM and EM on the yield of Swiss chard. The treatments 50%, 75% and 100% of OM were inoculated with EM during transplantation and showed the best statistical results, significantly exceeding the values of the control treatment. |
