Diagnostico y corrección de ph del suelo de un estanque postcosecha de cultivo litopenaeus vannamei.

Abstract

The soil of the culture ponds of Litopenaeus vannamei receives a large input of organic matter during its productive cycle of about 90 days, however, depending on the culture system implemented, the intensity will increase, to the point of increasing the input of organic material in the system due to the increase of densities, fertilization protocols, implementation of artificial feed and addition of inputs that end up at the bottom of the pond. Therefore, this document describes the methodology to be followed for the determination and correction of pH in shrimp culture pond soils, through the use of neutralizing products such as lime, products such as calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide are widely used in the aquaculture sector depending on the characteristics of the pond soil after being harvested, since in the case of needing to correct the pH in the soil for its preparation before a new production cycle, the use of calcium carbonate is recommended, which helps increase the pH of the soil and increases the concentration of calcium in it, This favors the decomposition of organic matter by decomposing microorganisms, avoiding its accumulation within the system, since products such as calcium hydroxide do not have a limited effect on soil pH in the long term.
