    “Evaluación de enmiendas orgánicas (eco abonaza, bio compost, estiércol de cuy); a diferentes dosis en el cultivo de lechuga crespa (lactuca sativa l.): en la terraza del campus Salache – latacunga, 2024”.

    This research project aimed to evaluate the effect of organic amendments on the agronomic variables of curly lettuce cultivation. The research was conducted on the bench terrace of the Salache campus at the Technical University of Cotopaxi in the Latacunga canton, Cotopaxi province, Ecuador. Three organic amendments (ECO fertilizer, bio compost, and guinea pig manure) were evaluated at different doses (5 t/ha, 10 t/ha, and 15 t/ha) compared to a control treatment in the curly lettuce cultivation (Lactuca sativa L.). The treatments were distributed under a random complete block design (DBCA), in factorial arrangement AxB+1 evaluating different agronomic variables during the 70 days of the research. The best results were obtained when applying the high dose of 15 Tn/ha eco-fertilizer, recording an uptake percentage of 98.22%, on day 60 the height of the plant obtained an average of 14.47 cm, the number of leaves/plant obtained an average of 23 units, the leaf width obtained an average of 13.82 cm, at 70 days the weight per plant reached an average of 289.53 g and the experimental weight/unit of 21.30 kg per experimental unit, giving us a result of 31.5 Tn/ha, obtaining an economic benefit of $0.90 for every dollar invested. Therefore, it is recommended to use the eco fertiliser in applications of 15 t/ha, in the fertilization of the lettuce crop, as it significantly exceeded the other treatments, recording the highest averages in the agronomic parameters, Improving soil fertility and water retention.
