Comportamiento agronómico de cultivares de papa china (Colocasia esculenta) en el Ecuador

This document addressed the issue of the agronomic behavior of Chinese potato cultivars (Colocasia esculenta) in Ecuador. It is one of the tubers of great nutritional importance because it has a high carbohydrate and starch content. It currently occupies fourteenth place among essential horticultural crops. The Main Objective is to determine the agronomic behavior of Chinese potato cultivars in Ecuador. One of the key aspects in the agronomic behavior of Chinese potato cultivars is their ability to grow in different types of soils and climatic conditions. The plant shows a remarkable tolerance to moist soils. Colocasia esculenta remains a topic of constant interest in agriculture. As global challenges such as climate change and food security are faced, understand and improve adaptability, resistance. The Methodology was executed based on information in updated texts, web pages, magazines, scientific articles, virtual libraries and all bibliographic material valuable for the development of this research. The results obtained were alternatives to expand the Chinese potato market, improve its yield and productivity, control different problems in the crop such as pest diseases. It was concluded that agronomic management has an ease of resistance to pests, but it is also indicated that the planting distance influences the production and quality of the harvest. The Chinese potato requires attention to weed control, regulated irrigation, adequate fertilization and pest and disease monitoring and it is recommended that farmers choose to grow plants at higher planting densities, to achieve higher corm yields.

El presente documento abordó el tema sobre el comportamiento agronómico de cultivares de papa china (Colocasia esculenta) en el Ecuador. Es uno de los tubérculos de gran importancia alimenticia por poseer un alto contenido de carbohidratos y almidón en la actualidad ocupa el decimocuarto lugar entre los cultivos hortícolas de primera necesidad. El Principal Objetivo es determinar el comportamiento agronómico de cultivares de papa china en el Ecuador. Uno de los aspectos clave en el comportamiento agronómico de los cultivares de papa china es su capacidad para crecer en diferentes tipos de suelos y condiciones climáticas. La planta muestra una notable tolerancia a suelos húmedos. Colocasia esculenta, sigue siendo un tema de interés constante en la agricultura. A medida que se enfrentan desafíos globales como el cambio climático y la seguridad alimentaria, comprender y mejorar la adaptabilidad, la resistencia Se ejecuto la Metodología a base de información en textos actualizados, páginas web, revistas, artículos científicos, bibliotecas virtuales y todo material bibliográfico valioso para el desarrollo de esta investigación. Los resultados obtenidos fue alternativas para ampliar el mercado de la papa china mejorar su rendimiento su productividad controlar los diferentes problemas en el cultivo como son las enfermedades plagas. Se concluyo que el manejo agronomico tiene una facilidad de resistencia a plagas, pero también se indica que la distancia de siembra influye en la producción y calidad de la cosecha. La papa china requiere atención en el control de malezas, riego regulado, fertilización adecuada y monitoreo de plagas y enfermedades y se recomienda que los agricultores opten por cultivar plantas a densidades de siembra más altas, Para alcanzar un mayor rendimiento de los cormos.
