Alteración Morfofisiológica del cultivo de maíz (Zea mays) en función de época de siembra en la Provincia de Los Ríos

In the present investigative work, a broad vision is established with respect to the cultivation of corn (Zea mays) that according to INIAP there is a sown area of 300,000 hectares in Ecuador in several provinces both on the coast and in the mountains. The cultivation of corn has been increasing its production more and more, so it has been necessary to continue improving the sowing processes so that the morphophysiological aspects of corn are analyzed considering the time in which the sowing of this grass was carried out. You should consider planting the corn plants at a safe distance between rows and between plants. It should be noted that a longitudinal descriptive-explanatory methodology will be used with a qualitative approach, in order to be able to demonstrate the alterations that occur in the cultivation of corn, a documentary investigation was considered in order to provide theoretical information that will support this research. Finally, the determined results will be released through this investigation with the purpose of improving the production of the corn crop per hectare sown.

En el presente trabajo investigativo se estableció una visión amplia con respecto al cultivo del maíz (Zea mays) que según el INIAP existe en el Ecuador una superficie sembrada de 300,000 hectáreas en varias provincias tanto de la costa como de la sierra. El cultivo de maíz ha venido aumentando cada vez más su producción por lo que ha sido necesario continuar mejorando los procesos de siembra de manera que se analizaron los aspectos morfofisiológicos del maíz considerando la época en que se ha realizado la siembra de esta gramínea, además se debe considerar sembrar las plantas de maíz a una distancia prudencial entre hileras y entre plantas. Cabe indicar que se utilizó una metodología descriptiva – explicativa de carácter longitudinal con un enfoque de cualitativo, con la finalidad de poder demostrar las alteraciones que se dan en el cultivo del maíz se consideró una investigación documental con la finalidad de proporcionar información teórica que sustento esta investigación. Finalmente, los resultados determinados fueron dados a conocer mediante esta investigación con el propósito de mejorar la producción del cultivo de maíz por hectárea sembrada.
