Evaluación del efecto de tres soluciones nutritivas en Forraje verde hidropónico de maíz (Zea mays).

Abstract

The project was carried out at the Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, located in the city of Guayaquil, province of the Guayas, and evaluated the effects of three nutritional solutions on green fooder hidroponic (FVH) of maze (Zea mays). The building of the 36 plastic tray structure was completed, and the drip irrigation system was installed. The certified maze hybrid INIAP-H5051 seed was cleaned with 6% hypochlorite, washed, and then the maze was allowed to rest for 48 hours. The seed were then placed in each of the tray, which measured 0.35 m x 0.42 m and were covered in seed at a height of 1 cm. Three daily irrigation were then performed. The experimental design was straightforward with three treatment groups and twelve repetitions; four tray were randomly chosen for each treatment group to measure the factors height of plants, number of leaf, length of leaf, root length, dry weight, and fresh weight. Data were collected 20 days into the vegetative phase after the second leaf exit. To assess the differences between treatments, the data were analyzed using Statgraphic Plus for Windows (version 5.1) using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and minimal significant difference (LSD) tests (P 0.05). The T3 obtained higher values in the evaluated parameters, and there was a significant cost difference because of the amount of solution needed for each treatment method.
