Diagnostico de los predios agropecuarios que conforman la granja pagua de la utmach en la provincia de el oro, ecuador

Abstract

The research was developed in the agricultural properties that make up the "Pagua Experimental Farm" belonging to the Technical University of Machala, which has a total area of 119.72 hectares, located in the parish "Rio Bonito", canton El Guabo, province of El Oro, with the aim of making a diagnosis of the situation presented by the same. The diagnosis corresponds to a study prior to the valuation, since this process can determine many factors that integrate and are related to the property, such as location, topography, constructions, among other aspects, which are important to determine a valuation. The diagnosis of a property should be made from time to time, since many elements, both internal and external to the property, are modified over time, due to improvements that are made. The "Granja Experimental Pagua" is a rustic type property, dedicated to the exploitation of banana, pasture areas and livestock, whose soils are characterized by being yellow, with a flat topography, with good water resources as it is located next to the Pagua River, access to the property is direct, among its vegetative species is the Tanner grass (Brachiaria arrecta Hack. ex T. Durand & Schinz), Brachiaria (Brachiaria brizantha Hochst. Ex A. Rich) and Chileno (Panicum máximum Jacq.), in addition the banana clones (Musa x paradisiaca L.) that are cultivated are of the Filipino and Cavendish varieties, the property has a diversity of trees, weeds in its pasture areas are not very significant, and in its common banana areas, among the constructions are 2 houses in regular condition, a warehouse, pumping station, a packing house and the stable. For the investigation, the type of soil that the property has was considered, determining its physical and chemical properties by means of matrices, likewise the presence of grass was determined by means of a measurement of paddocks in two sectors of the property, with a double sampling, in the same way, with the help of a wooden instrument a sampling was made, in order to identify the weeds present, also in the banana plantation a tour was made in the whole area to observe the type of concurrent weeds, The land was classified and evaluated, using the Guide for the classification and description of rural properties, by sectors of the property, prior to a planimetric survey, and the cadastral value of the land was determined, with the data obtained from the aforementioned factors studied and analyzed in each of the sectors that make up the Farm, and the constructions were also valued, the most relevant being the packing house. The results obtained show that the Pagua Experimental Farm has ideal soils for the crops produced in it, in addition to its productive activity in the sectors of paddocks A and B, 19 400 kg/ha and 25 900 kg/ha of forage are generated, respectively. The weeds present in the paddocks show an insignificant percentage (8%), all the sectors that make up the property have optimal access, good production, excellent soil type and agronomic, topographic, climatological and operating conditions, valued at a total of $754,236.00. The diagnostic study made it possible to determine the current situation of the Granja Pagua farm.
