Biofertilizers dosage and frequency in Cucumis sativus L. Siuna Municipality RACCN Nicaragua

Abstract

The application of organic fertilizers in agricultural production has been of special importance from the perception of quality, innocuousness and the environment, in Siuna municipality, since studies have been carried out on the effect of organic fertilizers; however, there have been no studies in the area that evaluate the quantities and frequencies of organic fertilizers, especially the foliar ones.

This investigation evaluates the effects of the biofertilizer application in doses and frequencies in the cultivation of Cucumis sativa L, from its growth, development and productivity, in order to evaluate in more detail, the cultivation behavior, and to be able to recommend in a reliable way how maximum yields can be obtained at lower costs and without affecting the environment. It is an experimental research at the explanatory level, we used a completely randomized design with three replicas and a statistical model where each of the treatments was analyzed.The main results are: The growth and development in the cultivation of the cucumber are similar in the different levels of concentration and application of the fertilizer, there is a better response to a lower frequency and higher application of the biofertilizer dose in the number of flowers produced by plants, and cucumber production is higher with lower frequencies and higher fertilizer concentrations, and therefore they are also more profitable
