IMPORTANCIA DEL PORCENTAJE DE GERMINACIÓN DE LA SEMILLA DE MAÍZ (Zea mays l.) EN CAMPO DE MULTIPLICACIÓN.

Abstract

AMONG THE MOST CONSUMED PRODUCTS IN ECUADOR AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IS CORN FOR ITS VARIOUS ADVANTAGES, BOTH IN THE ADAPTABILITY OF ITS CULTIVATION AND IN THE VERSATILITY OF THE PRODUCT, SINCE IT CAN BE CONSUMED BY HUMAN BEINGS IN VARIOUS WAYS AND EVEN BY ANIMALS, AS IT IS ONE OF THE MOST CONSUMED PRODUCTS, IT BECOMES RELEVANT TO KNOW ITS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND SPECIFICALLY IN THIS ARTICLE WE WILL PROCEED TO REVIEW THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GERMINATION PERCENTAGE OF THE CORN SEED (ZEA MAYS L.) IN THE MULTIPLICATION FIELD. , FOR THIS, A RESEARCH METHODOLOGY WAS USED THROUGH A BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW IN WHICH IT WAS OBTAINED AS RESULTS THAT DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF GERMINATION OF THE CORN SEED (ZEA MAYS L.) ALLOWS TO IDENTIFY THAT THE MATERIALS USED IN PRODUCTION ARE OF GOOD QUALITY AND WILL PRODUCE A PRODUCT WITH OPTIMAL CHARACTERISTICS; BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO CONCLUDE BY HIGHLIGHTING THE RELEVANCE OF AN OPTIMAL GERMINATION LEVEL AND THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A QUALITY PRODUCT SINCE IT BENEFITS BOTH HUMAN AND ANIMAL CONSUMPTION.
