Description
Summary:The purpose of this research was to diagnose the technologies applied in irrigation automation in the production of kidney tomato under greenhouses in the microenterprise H&H Nutripac located in the Sucre parish of the Loja canton. It is based on a mixed approach because qualitative information corresponding to the interview with the owner of the microenterprise and the observation sheet used to evaluate the irrigation technologies in the greenhouses were taken into consideration, in addition to quantitative information from the surveys applied to the workers. The results obtained show that there is outdated equipment in the irrigation system, some of which is obsolete, does not generate information in real time or does not have the required revision and maintenance; the consequences are observed in the inequitable distribution of water in the plantations and the reduced homogeneity in the growth characteristics of the kidney tomato crops. Based on these data, it is suggested to renew the equipment that has reached the end of its useful life, acquire updated equipment and train personnel for the proper operation of the technified irrigation system.
