Comportamiento de propiedades químicas del suelo bajo diferentes condiciones de manejo agrícola en la granja Santa Inés

Abstract

Agricultural management conditions have a profound impact on soil chemical properties, where sustainable practices preserve and improve soil quality. The work was carried out with the objective of verifying the influence of agricultural management (banana, cocoa, pastures, corn and forests) on the chemical properties of the soil (pH, EC, P, Ca, K, Mg, CEC, MO) at 0 -30 cm depth of the profile in the Granja Santa Inés, Machala Canton, province of El Oro, for this, permanent sampling points were identified, where 1 kg soil samples were taken and sent to the laboratory for analytical determinations with the data obtained from five agroecosystems that correspond to productive areas. This study highlights the importance of adopting agricultural approaches that optimize soil chemical properties to ensure its long-term sustainability and productivity.
