La fertilización orgánica del melloco (ullucus tuberosus l.) y su rentabilidad en la comunidad de Tuncarta

Paragraph participatory assessment was conducted to know the current state of culture melloco (ullucus L.) in the indigenous community of Tuncarta, Ecuador, still a need for focus groups, interviews and surveys, determining the very limited production product of the crop. Once we know the reality the research was aimed to know the agronomic crop behavior using two kinds of organic fertilizer (humus and goat manure) and para saber effectiveness is used a statistical experimental design in randomized blocks was raised, with nine treatments and four replications totalizing 36 experimental units. The variables evaluated in the useful area of the were plots: Percentage of sprouting, days to emergence, plant height, stem diameter percent incidence of pests and diseases, number of tubers per plant, tuber size and yield per plant, among others. The results were high statistical significance on the following variables: size and number of leaves, number of branches, number of flowers, plant performance. Variables such as yield per hectare where the red ecotype with the application of vermicompost had the best weight with A1B1 treatment were also evaluated whose value was 15 949.80 kg / ha and the lowest value ecotype sin Register 4 green with fertilization 802.70 kg / ha. cost (B / C) 2.19 -production costs para each treatment applied to the crop, where the best production in Treatment 1 was obtained yielding securities in the benefit.
