Abstract
La comunidad científica busca soluciones sostenibles para el cultivo de alimentos sin contaminantes y con bajo impacto ambiental. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la viabilidad de las algas marinas como fertilizante ecológico para el cultivo de rabanito en condiciones controladas de invernadero, empleando lluvia sólida y un suelo pobre en nutrientes. La prueba experimental se realizó en un invernadero de la Universidad Nacional José Faustino Sánchez Carrión, donde se empleó hidrogel y riego automatizado para reducir el consumo de agua. Para la fertilización del suelo, se aplicaron dosis de 5, 10, 15 y 20 mL de solución fertilizante de algas marinas (concentración de 13,33 g/L de agua) en dos momentos clave del crecimiento de los plantines de rabanito. El diseño experimental se basó en bloques completamente aleatorizados con tres bloques y cinco tratamientos (T1-T5). El análisis de varianza reveló que el tratamiento T5 sobresalió en altura de planta, rendimiento, longitud, diámetro polar y diámetro ecuatorial de los rabanitos cosechados, lo cual sugiere que mayores dosis de fertilizante de algas marinas promueven un mejor desarrollo vegetativo de las plantas. Estos resultados respaldan el uso de algas marinas como alternativa ecológica para mejorar el rendimiento agrícola en condiciones de suelo pobre.
The scientific community is looking for sustainable solutions for food cultivation without pollutants and with low environmental impact. This study aims to evaluate the viability of seaweed as an ecological fertilizer for radish cultivation under controlled greenhouse conditions, using solid rain and a nutrient-poor soil. The experimental trial was conducted in a greenhouse at the Universidad Nacional José Faustino Sánchez Carrión, where hydrogel and automated irrigation were used to reduce water consumption. For soil fertilization, doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 mL of seaweed fertilizer solution (concentration of 13.33 g/L of water) were applied at two key moments of radish seedling growth. The experimental design was based on completely randomized blocks with three blocks and five treatments (T1-T5). Analysis of variance revealed that the T5 treatment excelled in plant height, yield, length, polar diameter and equatorial diameter of harvested radishes, suggesting that higher doses of seaweed fertilizer promote better vegetative development of the plants. These results support the use of seaweeds as an ecological alternative to improve agricultural yields under poor soil conditions.
