RESPUESTA DEL TOMATE MILANO (Lycopersicum esculetum Mill) A PRACTICAS DE FERTILIZACION

Abstract

In the north of the municipality of Palermo-Huila with a warm dry climate and sandy loam soil, a cultivation of milano tomato (Lycopersicum esculetum Mill) was established in an experimental plot where four treatments were implemented for complete fertilization (T1), triple 15 (T2), Ceagrocompost (T3) and control (T4) with irrigation tape and 30% synthetic coverage. The preparation and adaptation of the land was done, as well as the installation of the localized irrigation system. The Ceagrocompost organic fertilizer was applied 15 before transplanting and the application of synthetic fertilizers, it was carried out in three periods during the vegetative cycle (10, 30 and 60 days), weed control and monitoring of the variables were also carried out stem length, fruit diameter, fruit weight and yield. Favorable results were obtained in terms of stem length, fruit weight, diameter, and yields with treatments T1 and T2, statistic that was analyzed using the t-student test with a confidence level of 95%, which did not present significant differences. With the exception of treatments T3 and T4, which indicates that the plants responded effectively to the fertilization plan. The yields decreased in the following order: T1> T2> T3> T4.
