Evaluación de la eficacia de tres mezclas de fertilizantes inorgánicos en el rendimiento del cultivo de maíz (Zea mays) parroquia Taracoa

Abstract

Through data obtained by Decentralized Autonomous Government of Taracoa indicate in 2020 96 Ha of corn were cultivated with a yield 20 qq per hectare and per year which shows it is a very low production because Taracoa lacks studies on fertilization and new varieties implemented in the market, most farmers use agricultural techniques based on empirical management applying a lot of fertilization, For this reason, the objective this experimental work was to evaluate the efficacy three mixtures of inorganic fertilizers on corn yield (Zea mays) Taracoa parish. The methodology implemented was of an experimental nature, where quantitative methods were applied, discrete and continuous, dependent and independent variables were applied starting with data collection and analysis phase. Using the statistical program Infostat, it was possible to determine the importance of correct fertilization using hybrid PATRON 302 F1 three mixtures of fertilizers whose mixture 1 contained (15-15-15; Fertimaiz and potassium sulfate), mixture 2 (10-30-10; Mixpac and Muriate of potassium) and mixture 3 (Yaramila Complex, YaraHidrant and YaraActyva). When evaluating the effectiveness of three fertilizer mixtures on corn yield (Zea mays), mixture 3 presented the best effectiveness with a yield 10568.05 Kg/ha followed by mixture 1 whose yield was 10400.39 Kg/ha, finally, mixture 2 presented a yield 10128.20Kg/Ha, concluding that mixture 2 presented the best profitability if the inputs are properly applied.
