Efecto de los microorganismos en el cultivo de Capsicum Annuum l. bajo acolchado plástico

Abstract

Microorganisms such as Trichoderma and Beaveria bassiana have the ability to mitigate pathogen problems in different crops. However, the application of these microorganisms as enhancers in the development of bell pepper plants to increase their production and yield is limited in their documentation. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect that microorganisms have on the Yolo Wonder variety bell pepper crop: T0 (control); T1 (Trichoderma); T2 (Beauveria); T3 (trichoderma-beauveria), and 3 replications giving for each experimental unit 18 sample units, giving a total of 216 bell pepper plants for the whole experimental design. The use of these microorganisms in the cultivation of bell pepper, could indicate us that the use of Trichoderma influenced in a positive way in the vegetative development: plant height (58,28 cm), stem shaft (12,18 mm), aerial weight of the plant in fresh (210,49 g), aerial weight of the plant in dry (51,92 g), root length (23,13 cm), weight of the root in fresh (19,55 g), weight of the root in dry (5,9 g), and productive: fruit number (3.91); fruit weight (124.52 g), fruit length (10.25 cm), fruit diameter (9.65 cm), pericarp thickness (6.05 mm) and ° BRIX (4.13 brix), compared to the other treatments indicated.
