Análisis de la producción de naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) con la aplicación de abonos certificados en la parroquia La Canela

Abstract

Abstract: The naranjilla (Solanum quietoense Lam.) is a promising crop for export, due to its physical and chemical attributes, positively positioned in the national and international market. The study conducted in the parish of La Canela, evaluated the impact of organic and mineral fertilization on productivity. The treatments applied were: chicken manure (T1), goat manure (T2), earthworm humus (T3) and mineral fertilization 10-30-10 (T4), and a control treatment (T0) was included. The variables measured were: fruit number, weight, perimeter and length. The results indicate the absence of significant statistical differences between the organic and mineral treatments, but there were significant differences with respect to the control treatment, which developed less. The mineral treatment stood out with a production of 13.3 ton/ha, surpassing the organic treatments of poultry manure and goat manure which had 10.2 ton/ha, as well as the treatment with worm humus with 9.1 ton/ha. The control treatment registered the lowest production, with 6.35 ton/ha. These results suggest that the two types of mineral and organic fertilization bring positive benefits to the production of the naranjilla crop.
