Yield of x'pelon bean Vigna unguiculata (L.) walp under inorganic fertilization

Resumen

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the production of the X'pelón crop (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) using two fertilization formulations.

Design/methodology/approach: In this research, two formulations based on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were applied, along with a control, using a completely randomized block design. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance, Tukey's test for comparing means, and linear regression analysis.

Results: The results showed statistically significant differences in the number of pods (fruits) obtained per plant among the different fertilization treatments. However, no statistically significant differences were found between the fertilization formulas themselves, with the lowest production observed in the control group.

Limitations/implications of the study: No limitations were found in this research. It is worth noting that this type of research generates new knowledge and should therefore be conducted more frequently.

Findings/Conclusions: It is concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between the fertilization formulas, although both treatments resulted in higher pod production per plant than the control. Therefore, either fertilization formula can be recommended.
