Effect of chitosan on the growth and development of gladiolus (Gladiolus sp.) in Mantaro, Jauja
Keywords:
Gladiolu, Chitosan, GreenhouseAbstract
Chitosan is known for improving crop quality and yield, as well as acting as a bactericide and fungicide. To validate these effects, this research was conducted. Objective: To determine the optimal chitosan dosage and immersion time for enhancing the growth and development of gladiolus (Gladiolus sp.) corms. Method: The study was conducted in a greenhouse, using pots to evaluate each corm following the morphological evaluation method. Two immersion times (30 and 60 minutes) and five chitosan doses (10 ml, 15 ml, 20 ml, 25 ml, and 30 ml) at 1% per liter of water were tested. Ten treatments, plus a control, were applied, distributed in three blocks under a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with factorial analysis. Results: The treatment with 10 ml of chitosan at 1% and 30 minutes of immersion showed the best results in terms of the number of leaves, plant height, number of flowers, days to flower opening, and stem length. The second best treatment was 15 ml of chitosan at 1% with 30 minutes of immersion. Conclusion: The research concludes that the treatment with 10 ml of chitosan at 1% for 30 minutes of immersion optimizes the growth and development of gladiolus, improving the main morphological variables studied.
