EFFECT OF THE APPLICATION OF PHYTOHORMONES AND EFFECTIVE MICROORGANISMS OF THE TROPICS, IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF THE CROP OF PASSION FRUIT (Passiflora edulis).

Abstract

In this document, the effect of the application of two efficient phytohormones and microorganisms on the growth and reproductive development of a Passion Fruit crop (Passiflora edulis) located in the village of Fátima in the municipality of La Plata was evaluated. For its development, four treatments were used: (T1) the control or witness group, (T2) consisted of the application of 2.5 mg/ha of the hormone gibberellin, treatment 3 (T3) applied 500 cc/ha of the hormone cytokinin; and in treatment four (T4), gibberellin and cytokinin were applied in the same dosages. Each treatment (except the control) additionally had the application of effective microorganisms (EM) dosed in 5L/100L of water, and applied directly to the soil, following the manufacturer's recommendations. These treatments were sampled before and after the application where the chemical parameters of the soil were evaluated and subsequently the growth and development of the crop were monitored. For the analysis of the results obtained, a descriptive analysis was carried out on the chemical characteristics of the soil, to the results of the physical-chemical parameters of the fruit evaluated, a simple ANOVA, and for the monitoring of the growth of the crop and microbiological an analysis was applied. with multifactorial ANOVA. The results obtained showed that with the T4 treatment, flowering, fruiting and microbial activity increased, which allows cataloging the production of the favorable crop and improved with the application of growth hormones and microorganisms in the soil.
