Effect of earthworm, bovine and guinea pig humus in the yield of onion crop (Allium cepa L.), Peru

Abstract

The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of worm, bovine and guinea pig humus on the vegetative phase and yield of onion cultivation (Allium cepa L.) red variety Arequipeña in the district of Curpahuasi, province of Grau, department of Apurímac. In the study vegetative parts of the onion crop were measured, the methodology of the study is quantitative with a random complete block design. The results present significant differences (Sig.<0.05) reporting the highest plant height for worm humus compared to the control treatment that obtained 39.77 cm, greater number of leaves forBovinase. Bovine in the dose of 20 t/ha with 7.14 leaves compared to the control that obtained 5.39 average leaves. Production yields are expressed higher bulb height with the worm humus treatment or significant differences (Sig. > 0.05) were recorded between the average bulb weight and yield per area. Worm humus (10.8 t/ha) that induces a higher statistical average with 340 g and 58.62 t/ha and the control with 180 g and 31.92 t/ha, for the aforementioned considerations it is concluded that the application of worm humus in the dose of 10.8 t/ha in conclusion is recommended in the production of red onion Arequipeña in the climatic conditions of the district of Curpahuasi.
