PRODUCCION DE PIMIENTO (Capsicum annuum L.) MEDIANTE LA APLICACIÓN DE ABONOS ORGÁNICOS

Abstract

Conventional agriculture and the excessive use of agrochemicals have contributed to the degradation of soils. Producing crops with organic fertilization is one of the ways to contribute with safe food for the health of people. The objective of the work was: To evaluate the agronomic response of the pepper crop subjected to different doses, using four organic sources: earthworm humus with a dose of 180 g / plant, goat guano 60 g / plant, bat guano 60 g / plant, Humivita 16 g / plant and an absolute control of 0 g / plant. Complete randomized block design (DBCA) with five treatments and four repetitions was used. The production variables were: number of fruits per plant, weight of fruits per plant, yield per hectare. The guano bat organic source obtained excellent results in comparison to the rest, this being an organic alternative, since it provides large amounts of nutrients.
