SUMMARY
Finca “La Chica” has had cattle for the production of milk and derivatives for 13 years
and as a by-product, cow excrement is obtained, which is subjected to a fermentation
process for 3 months. After this time, the basic input for the vermicompost (organic
matter) is obtained. The production of vermicompost has an average production time of
6 months depending on the farm; therefore, the conventional vermicompost production
process was carried out in one pool and organic microorganisms were applied in
another pool with the purpose of synthesizing, optimizing and comparing the production
and time of these fertilizers. Finally, the fertilizers produced (with and without
microorganisms) were applied in combination with chemical fertilizers to the Pennisetum
purpureum Schumach. Poaceae “Cuba ct-115”/ “Cuba 22” crop.
A complete randomized experimental design was used with 4 replications structured by
7 treatments that included, in addition to organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers in
combination with the previous ones: Urea, 15-15-15 and a control. Evaluating two
variables: fresh weight (kg/plant) and leaf length (m). Finally, an economic analysis was
developed to determine the profitability of both organic products.
The results of the preparation of vermicompost without microorganisms (pool 1) vs
vermicompost with microorganisms (pool 2) were: pool 2 had a delay of 1-2 weeks in
production with respect to pool 1. The temperature ranges between both pools they had
a difference of 1-3 degrees centigrade by placing pool 2 over pool 1. A bromatological
analysis was performed on both fertilizers, which yielded relevant results regarding the
high saturation of salts present in both samples. |
