Abstract
FUNDORA, L. R; CABRERA, J. A; GONZALEZ, J and RUIZ, L. A. INCREMENTOS EN LOS RENDIMIENTOS DEL CULTIVO DE BONIATO POR LA UTILIZACIÓN COMBINADA DEL FITOESTIMULANTE FITOMAS-E Y EL BIOFERTILIZANTE ECOMIC® EN CONDICIONES DE PRODUCCIÓN. cultrop [online]. 2009, vol.30, n.3, pp. 14-17. ISSN 0258-5936.
This work was developed in a cooperative production unit (UBPC) from «Camilo Cienfuegos» Agricultural Enterprise, Santa Cruz del Norte town, Havana province, during 2005, which is geographically situated at 83° 10' N, 23° 10' W and 103 m over sea level, with the objective of studying the influence of the national phytostimulant FitoMas-E combined with the biofertilizer EcoMic® and mineral fertilization on sweet potato yield and other variables. Six treatments were studied in the experiment employing the clone INIVIT B 98-2. Results showed significant differences among treatments for those combinations studied, so proving crop answer to the combined application of phytostimulant, biofertilizers and mineral fertilization, besides obtaining yield increments of 50 % compared to the control. In general, this work showed that the combined application of phytostimulant FitoMas-E with an efficient AMF and 50 % mineral fertilization with NPK improves crop development and yields under production conditions.
