IMPACTO DE LOS PRODUCTOS BIOLÓGICOS SOBRE EL NÚMERO DE BACTERIAS Y HONGOS EDÁFICOS Y LA PRODUCTIVIDAD DEL PIMIENTO EN LA AGRICULTURA URBANA

Urban Farm DB summary

In an intensive home garden under urban agriculture conditions, a two-factor, fully randomized design with six treatments and four replicates tested three levels of partially weathered manure (0, 10 kg/m2 sheep manure, 10 kg/m2 cattle manure) with and without foliar humus (10 kg/ha) on soil bacteria and fungi counts and on productivity of pepper (Capsicum annuum L., variety Espanol 16). Analysis of variance and Tukey's test showed that 10 kg/m2 of either manure combined with foliar earthworm humus was the best treatment, increasing fruit yield, lowering cost per unit weight and raising profitability.
