For this purpose, a trial was established by evaluating five treatments: T1: 250 kg ha-1 of cane compost; T2: 500 kg ha-1 of cane compost; T3: 250 kg ha-1 of bovine manure; T4: 500 kg ha-1 of bovine manure and T5: chemical fertilization (NPK), under a completely random design with six repetitions. The obtained results showed that the NPK-based fertilization in the cultivation of hierbaluisa allowed a greater growth of the plants, at the same time it enhanced their foliar development, however, with the application of 500 kg ha-1 of sugar cane compost the results were closed to the treatment with the greatest effect, while for the production of tillers and stems per tiller, the treatments did not differ. In addition, when the crop was fertilized by applying T2: cane compost 500 kg ha-1, a similar yield level to that achieved with NPK-based chemical fertilization was obtained which was the treatment that made possible to generate the highest yield per hectare. Finally, the greatest economic benefit was obtained with the application of chemical fertilization based on NPK, with a 61.44% profitability, followed by the application of T2: cane compost in a dose of 500 kg ha-1 which reflected 48.77% of profitability. |
