Efecto del bocashi en el desarrollo de plántulas de tomate de árbol (Solanum betaceum cav.)

Abstract

The present research was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the effect of Bocashi on the development of tree tomato seedlings (Solanum betaceum cav.), as an alternative to conventional crop production, for this purpose a DCA with 5 treatments T1(50% Bocashi 1 + 50% Soil); T2(80% Bocashi 1 + 20% Soil); T3(50% Bocashi 2 + 50% Soil); T4(80% Bocashi 2 + 20% Soil); T5 (Absolute control) and 3 replications, whose evaluated variables were: percent stand, stem length, root length, stem diameter, leaf area biomass in dry matter, root biomass in dry matter. The statistical analysis shows the treatment T1 (50% Bocashi 1 + 50% Soil), with the best results for all variables as well as for the percentage of 100% yield, for stem length an average of 16.15cm, root length with 22.59cm, stem diameter with 6.36mm, biomass of leaf area in dry matter with 1.16cm and root biomass in dry matter with 0.37g; while the bocashi made from chaff in general with the lowest averages. From this it is concluded that the traditional bocashi formulation in concentration (50% Bocashi 1 + 50% Soil), is the best for the development of tree tomato seedlings in the replanting stage, therefore it is recommended to add bocashi to the substrates in nursery.
