Technical-economic evaluation of bacterial consortia in strawberry cultivation across two production systems

Strawberry production is predominantly carried out in open fields, rendering it vulnerable to pest attacks, which can lead to reductions in yield. This susceptibility is further exacerbated by adverse climatic conditions. Another challenge is the high cost of inputs like fertilizers. Consequently, t...

description Strawberry production is predominantly carried out in open fields, rendering it vulnerable to pest attacks, which can lead to reductions in yield. This susceptibility is further exacerbated by adverse climatic conditions. Another challenge is the high cost of inputs like fertilizers. Consequently, the aim of this study was to evaluate both technically and economically the impact of applying bacterial bio-fertilizers to strawberry crops under two production systems. The experimental design employed was a subdivided-plot arrangement in a randomized complete block, with the main plot focusing on the production system (either open field or macrotunnel), the subplot on plastic mulch (either with or without), and the sub-subplot on bacterial consortia treatments commercial. These were as follows: (a) control, which corresponded to traditional farmer management; (b) Bacillus subtilis, (c) consortium 1, comprising a mixture of humic acids and Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus licheniformis; and (d) consortium 2, composed of Azospirillum brasilense, Azotobacter chroococcum, Lactobacillus acidophillus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The combination of macrotunnel production and plastic mulch, along with the application of bacterial consortium 2, yielded the best results in the second year, producing gross and net yields of 25.041 kg ha-1 and 17.330 kg ha-1, respectively. This was associated with the most favorable benefit-cost ratio of 1.41 in the second year.

La producción de fresas se lleva a cabo predominantemente en campos abiertos, lo que la hace vulnerable a los ataques de plagas, lo que puede provocar reducciones en el rendimiento. Esta susceptibilidad se ve exacerbada aún más por las condiciones climáticas adversas. Otro desafío es el alto costo de insumos como los fertilizantes. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar tanto técnica como económicamente el impacto de la aplicación de biofertilizantes bacterianos al cultivo de fresa bajo dos sistemas de producción. El diseño experimental empleado fue un arreglo de parcelas subdivididas en bloques completos al azar, con la parcela principal centrada en el sistema de producción (ya sea campo abierto o macrotúnel), la subparcela sobre acolchado plástico (con o sin) y la subparcela sobre acolchado plástico (ya sea con o sin) sobre tratamientos de consorcios bacterianos comerciales. Estos eran los siguientes: (a) control, que correspondía al manejo convencional de los agricultores; (b) Bacillus subtilis, (c) consorcio 1, que comprendió una mezcla de ácidos húmicos y Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus licheniformis; y (d) consorcio 2, compuesto por Azospirillum brasilense, Azotobacter chroococcum, Lactobacillus acidophillus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. La combinación de producción de macrotúnel y acolchado plástico, junto con la aplicación del consorcio bacteriano 2, arrojaron los mejores resultados en el segundo año, mostrando rendimientos brutos y netos de 25.041 kg ha-1 y 17.330 kg ha-1, respectivamente. Esto se asoció con la relación costo-beneficio más favorable con 1,41 en el segundo año.
