Evaluación del rendimiento en cultivo de maracuyá (passiflora edulis l.) , con fertilización edáfica y fertirriego a goteo en Chacras, Arenillas

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the evaluation of the yield of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis L.) using soil fertilization and drip fertigation in Chacras parish, Arenillas canton, El Oro province, Ecuador. Through a completely randomized experimental design, phenomorphological and yield variables such as plant length, fruit number, and fruit weight, length, and diameter were analyzed. The results showed that soil fertilization outperformed fertigation in improving fruit weight, length, and diameter. Additionally, it was determined that soil fertilization is the most effective option for enhancing the quality and yield of passion fruit cultivation.
