An alternative is to use the hillside lands to establish crops, however, this generates difficulties for the necessary agricultural work, so it was proposed to look for strategies that allow to give them an agricultural use decreasing or completely avoiding the difficulties of growing on slopes, also improving the soil properties that on a hillside are lost due to negative effects such as erosion. To achieve this, it was proposed to apply ancestral agriculture techniques, the main one was the construction of terraces, along with the application of organic insecticides and the creation of compost-type fertilizers. The crop chosen for the analysis was the “chaucha” potato (Solanum phureja J. & B.) and to determine if the results obtained were favorable a second crop was established on a flat ground, divided into 4 plots set up in the same way as cultivation on hillside land. The variables analyzed were: number of tubers per plant differentiated between tubers for seed and commercial tubers, weight of tubers per plant, weight of tubers per terrace, plot and yield. Each variable was analyzed between the production obtained in the cultivation on the hillside terrain and the flat terrain. At the end of the study, the production obtained was 165,20 kilograms for terraced cultivation and 70,81 kilograms for flat ground cultivation. A significant difference was found in the analysis of the number of tubers for seed, the other variables did not present significant differences. The yield obtained was 24.7 t/ha for terraced cultivation and 23.60 t/ha for flat ground cultivation. In order to contribute to the rescue and dissemination of ancestral agricultural practices, the creation of a manual was proposed which describes the process for establishing crops on hillside lands, the processes shown are based on the practices and knowledge learned in the development of the study. |
