“Mucílago de cacao fermentada para el control de musgo (Rigodiumimplexum) en el cultivo de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) ccn-51 en la parroquia Guasaganda”

The purpose of the research was to evaluate the effect of fermented cocoa mucilage to control moss (Rigodiumimplexum) in the cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) crop, which was developed at the Sacha Wiwa Experimental Center of Guasaganda Parish. A randomized complete block experimental design (DBCA) was applied with 4 treatments plus a control treatment, leaving T1 (Control), T2 (100% fermented cocoa mucilage), T3 (75% fermented cocoa mucilage + 25 % water), T4 (50% fermented cocoa mucilage + 50% water), T5 (25% fermented cocoa mucilage + 75% water), with four repetitions. Once the investigation was carried out, it was obtained that the best treatment for the control of moss in the cocoa crop was T2 with 98.62% effectiveness, while T3 with 95.38% and T4 with 91% also have excellent results. according to the comparison with the ALAM scale. Based on the agronomic behavior of the crop, variables such as flowering and number of (fruiting) were evaluated, where the best treatment for the flowering variable was T5 (25% fermented cocoa mucilage + 75% water), while for fruiting the best treatment was T2 (100% fermented cocoa mucilage); This same treatment helped to reduce the monilliasis attack in the crop. On the other hand, when carrying out the cost analysis of the treatments under study, it is mentioned that all the treatments are totally accessible to the farmer. In conclusion, the treatment that provided the best benefit to the cocoa crop was T2, thus recommending the use of this treatment to control moss (Rigodiumimplexum).
