impacto del mucílago de cacao más ácido acético en el control de musgos (rigodium implexum) sobre cultivos de cacao orgánico.

Abstract

The use of organic herbicides allows the farmer to avoid risks of contamination in soil, water, and air, in addition to the reuse of unused raw material. That is why this type of research identifies new alternatives to eliminate the mosses that are attached to stems and branches of organic cocoa crops.As the main purpose of the research, it is proposed to take advantage of the organic cocoa slime that, taken to a fermentation process, will act as a dispersant to control the moss (Rigodium implexum), with the use of this organic solution an improvement in the use of herbicides will be made. not synthetic.For this project, the study area considered has a territorial approximation of 200 hectares of cocoa crops, it is located in the La Adelina sector, Balao Canton, Guayas province; In addition, samples of cocoa mucilage were obtained for the preparation of organic solutions and later to be applied within the study area.
