Diseño experimental para el estudio del efecto de tres tipos de abono sintético artificial, en la producción de la planta de maíz (Zea Mays L.) en el cantón Loreto – 2021

Abstract

This work proposed the application of an experimental design to compare three treatments, Nitrogen (300) kg/ha, Phosphorus (40) kg/ha and Potassium (200) kg/ha plus a control treatment to test if they have effects on corn production in Loreto canton. The collection of information was made alongside an agronomist who guided the process of planting, fertilizing, fumigating, harvesting and drying the corn. For the statistical analysis, the Excel computer program was used. When applying the experimental method, the technique used was the randomized complete block design RCBD that tested the influence of the plots on the production of corn, which managed to determine treatment 2 as the winner, this is composed of Nitrogen at the level of 300 kg/ha, yielding an average of 9.93 qq/ha, since it maximizes production when compared with the rest of the treatments, the same as in qq/ha yield: T1= 4.53, T3=7.31, T4=5.81. Proving that the type of synthetic fertilizer Nitrogen has an effect on production, which allowed improving the quality and quantity of corn. Therefore, it is recommended that farmers in the canton proceed with sowing by applying this artificial synthetic fertilizer, since time and resources can be optimized.
