Compost application and biofertilization with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in cuatomate (Solanum glauscescens Zucc) nursery
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cuatomate (Solanum glauscescens Zucc) is an important crop for the Mixteca Poblana, and the availability of technologies to increase its productivity is a priority for producers in the region. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of compost addition and biofertilization with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on cuatomate during the nursery stage. Twelve treatments, resulting from the combination of four substrates prepared with different soil:compost ratios and inoculation with AMF strains Glomus cubense, Rhizoglomusi rregulare and a control without inoculation, were studied in a completely randomized design, with factorial arrangement and ten replications, and indicators of mycorrhizal performance and plant growth were evaluated. No interaction was found between soil:compost ratios and biofertilization with AMF for mycorrhizal and growth variables. No response to AMF inoculation on plant growth was observed either. The greatest height, stem diameter and number of leaves were achieved with soil:compost ratios 0.50:0.50 and 0.25:0.75 v:v. Second order regression equations with high R2 values were found between N-NO3, assimilable P and exchangeable K contents of the substrates and plant height and leaf number. It is concluded that the mixture of soil and compost in a 0.50:0.50 ratio is a suitable substrate for cuatomate cultivation during the nursery stage. Further studies on the mycorrhization of the cuatomate crop are recommended.
