“RESPUESTA DE CRECIMIENTO Y PRODUCCION DEL CULTIVO DE PIMIENTO (Capsicum annuum L.) HIBRIDO NATHALIE A LA APLICACIÓN DE LIXIVIADOS DE VERMICOMPOST DE ESTIÉRCOL BOVINO BAJO SISTEMA SEMIPROTEGIDO”

Abstract

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENT INVESTIGATION WAS TO EVALUATE THE GROWTH AND PRODUCTION RESPONSE OF PEPPER CULTURE (CAPSICUM ANNUUM L.) HYBRID NATHALIE TO THE APPLICATION OF VERMICOMPOSTS LEACHATES OF BOVINE MANURE UNDER SEMIPROTECTED SYSTEM. A STATISTICAL DESIGN OF RANDOM BLOCKS WAS USED WITH THREE REPLICATIONS AND FOUR TREATMENTS: UNFERTILIZED SOIL, COMPLETE FERTILIZER (NPK), VERMICOMPOST BOVINE LEACHATES (LVCB) 1/40 V/V AND LVCB 1/50 V/V. THE VARIABLES MEASURED WERE: HEIGHT OF THE PLANT, STEM DIAMETER, NUMBER OF LEAVES, TOTAL CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT, NUMBER OF FRUITS PER PLANT, WEIGHT OF FRUITS, DIAMETER AND LENGTH OF FRUITS AND ESTIMATED YIELD (T.HA-1). IN THE GROWTH VARIABLES AND THE TOTAL CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT, SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WERE FOUND IN ANY OF THE THREE MOMENTS EVALUATED (15, 30 OR 45 DAYS AFTER THE TRANSPLANT); THE VERMICOMPOST BOVINE LEACHATE (1/40 V/V) IN ALL CASES WAS AMONG THE TREATMENTS WITH WHICH THE STATISTICALLY SUPERIOR VALUES WERE OBTAINED.
