Evaluación de la eficiencia productiva del cultivo de tomate Solanum lycopersicum L. en asocio con lechuga Lactuca sativa L., rábano Raphanus sativus L. y cilantro Coriandrum sativum L. bajo invernadero

Abstract

Intercroping have originated from the principles of civilization, however, they not have been given the necessary importance and is now replaced them with monocultures, often ignoring the damage they cause to the agro-ecosystems. In this project the productive efficiency of tomato (Solanum Lycopersicon L.) in association with lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) for monoculture systems compared tomato greenhouse. The variables considered were: weight of marketable production, monetary value of marketable production and accumulated at the end of the main crop biomass cycle. In statistical calculations design randomized complete block design with four treatments and four replicates, the data were studied using an analysis of variance and Tukey test for comparison of means. Whereupon it was found that: as the dry weight of the tomato crop plants there is no significant difference in performance tomato statistically no significant difference; however, there is a reduction in tomato production in association sown. In total revenue per linear meter there is no significant difference statistically, however, the association of tomato + radish gives better income; in total profit is there any significant difference. Treatment of tomato + radish gives higher gain per meter compared to other treatments; as to the rate equivalent tomato production area there is no significant difference as the rate equivalent to the total income area treatments tomato + tomato + lettuce and radish have higher unit values.
