Efecto del bocashi en la fase de vivero de Solanum betaceum Cav. y Solanum lycopersicum L.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of bocashi on the development of seedlings of two Solanaceae species, as an alternative strategy to conventional agriculture. In the case of tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav) a DCA was used with 3 treatments, T1 (50% Bocashi Bovine + 50% black soil), T2 (50% Bocashi Gallinaza + 50% black soil) and Absolute control (black soil + pomina), and five replicates, whose variables evaluated were: percentage of seedling development, stem and root length, stem diameter, leaf area biomass and root in dry matter. For kidney tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L), a 2 x 2 + 1 factorial DCA was used, where factor 1 was the two formulations and factor 2 the two concentrations of bocashi with 5 treatments; T1 (50% Bocashi Bovine + 50% black soil), T2 (20% Bocashi Bovine + 80% black soil), T3 (50% Bocashi Gallinaza + 50% black soil), T4 (20% Bocashi Gallinaza + 80% black soil), Absolute control (black soil + pomina) and 3 replicates, whose evaluated variables were: germination percentage, stem length, root length, stem diameter, leaf area biomass in dry matter, root biomass in dry matter. For tree tomato, T2 (50% Bocashi Gallinaza + 50% black soil) and for kidney tomato T4 (20% Bocashi Gallinaza + 80% black soil), For tree tomato, T2 (50% Bocashi Gallinaza + 50% black soil) and for kidney tomato T4 (20% Bocashi Gallinaza + 80% black soil), showed the best results in all variables evaluated, hence their use in nursery for these two species is recommended.
