Caracterización de la enfermedad Mildiu (Peronospora variabilis) en el cultivo de Quinua (Chenopodium quinoa) en el Ecuador

This document seeks to investigate the Characterization of the Mildew disease (Peronospora variabilis) in the cultivation of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) in Ecuador. Downy mildew is the main dangerous disease that directly affects the leaves causing significant damage if not managed properly. This disease originates in soils with high temperatures and humidity, causes premature defoliation and its high dose in sowing allows microclimates to form and therefore spread. Thus reducing development and productivity. In the country, quinoa is an important food for the mountain region; place where it is grown, being an internal and external product. It contains nutritional characteristics; it has vitamins necessary for humans. Given the need to increase the production of this crop, it is necessary to have extensive knowledge about it, know the correct preparation of the soil and choice of seed, in order to have greater productivity and yield because it is a safety product. both national and international food. This investigative document, presented as a practical component, was developed through the compilation of various sources of information. With an exploratory and explanatory methodology. In conclusion, it can be mentioned how this disease can be combated given that it causes significant losses in production, allowing through this research to obtain information necessary for correct planting, development and obtaining of the product with a certain safety and quality

En el presente documento se busca indagar acerca de la Caracterización de la enfermedad Mildiu (Peronospora variabilis) en el cultivo de Quinua (Chenopodium quinoa) en el Ecuador. El mildiu es la principal enfermedad peligrosa que afecta directamente a las hojas causando daños significativos si no se lo maneja adecuadamente. Dicha enfermedad se origina en suelos con altas temperaturas y humedad, ocasiona defoliaciones prematuras y su alta dosis en siembra permite que se formen microclimas y por ende la propagación. Reduciendo así el desarrollo y productividad. En el País, el cultivo de quinua es un alimento importante para la región sierra; lugar donde se cultiva siendo un producto interno y externo. Contiene características nutricionales, posee vitaminas necesarias para el ser humano. Dada la necesidad de incrementar la producción de este cultivo, es necesario tener el conocimiento amplio acerca de él, conocer cuál es la correcta preparación del suelo y elección de la semilla, para así tener mayor productividad y rendimiento debido a que es un producto de seguridad alimenticia tanto nacional como internacional. El presente documento investigativo presentado como componente práctico, se desarrolló a través de la recopilación de diversas fuentes de información. Con una metodología exploratoria y explicativa. A manera de conclusión se puede mencionar que es necesario conocer cómo se puede combatir esta enfermedad dado que ocasiona pérdidas significativas en la producción permitiendo a través de esta investigación el productor obtenga información necesaria para lograr una correcta siembra, desarrollo y obtención del producto con una determinada seguridad y calidad.
