RENDIMIENTO DE CEBOLLA (Alium cepa) BAJO SIEMBRA DIRECTA CON DIFERENTES SUSTRATOS

Abstract

The direct sowing of onion together with the use of different substrates as a source of nutrients, is an agricultural practice that brings the benefit of reducing harvest time and costs for preparing seedbeds and stress due to transplanting. For this, an experiment was carried out in Siburúa, Miranda municipality, Falcón state, where direct seeding and the use of organic fertilizers were evaluated: bocaschi, backwater or river peat and mineral soil, on onion yield. The results found showed that the highest onion yield was obtained when direct sowing combined with the use of bocashi was applied with yields of 42,500 kg ha^-1, so that direct sowing constitutes an alternative to reduce costs for seedbeds and inorganic fertilizers, in addition to shortening the harvest time and the stress caused to the plants during transplantation.
