VALIDATION OF AN APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CULTIVATION OF CAPULÍ (Physalis peruviana L.) FOR THE VALLEY THE MANTARO CONDITIONS

Abstract

Capuli (Physalis peruviana L.) native species of Perú, restricted cultivation in family gardens, at present comes being reevaluated because its medicinal and nutritious quality. Many institutions have taken importance by being an alternative and potential cultivation for the rural population, and their great adaptation to the environmental conditions of the valley. The present study was developed from the 2000 to 2003, it was considered like factors in study: types of substrates, density of sowing, types of tutors, uses and agronomic management. The results obtained were: the substrate compost emphasized for yield of fruits with 0,422 kg/plant; for distances occupied the first place the density 1,20 x 1,00 m with a yield of 0,596 kg/plant, in the use of tutors the individual stake with a yield of 1,88 kg/plot, according to the result of the survey on the use of the Capulí the 51% of the population in the left margin destines to personal use and 37% as natural medicine; in the right margin a 50% for personal use  and the 37% like natural medicine. As proposal of solution of agronomic management and uses of Capulí, it is  proposed: to use sustainable agriculture. Likewise, to promote the consumption in fresh state and processed, in this manner to obtain aggregate value.
