Evaluation of Maize, bean and squash in polyculture

This experiment was designed to determine the effect of intercropping of maize/bean/squash on the plants growth, yields and weeds growth when compared with their respective monocultures. The Land Equivalent Ratio was also calculated. The experiment shows that despite a minor growth and minor average...

Weeds Growth Yield Land Equivalent Ratio Intercropping Milpa malezas Crecimiento Rendimiento Equivalente tierra This experiment was designed to determine the effect of intercropping of maize/bean/squash on the plants growth, yields and weeds growth when compared with their respective monocultures. The Land Equivalent Ratio was also calculated. The experiment shows that despite a minor growth and minor average yields per plant, the polyculture lot had a greater yield per unit area when compared with the different monoculture, with a LER>1. The weeds growth over time was also lower in the polyculture lots. Those results show the benefits of increased biodiversity in agroecosystems on weeds control and productivity. Este experimento se realizó para evaluar el efecto del policultivo maíz/poroto/zapallito sobre el crecimiento, el rendimiento y el grado de enmalezamiento comparado con sus respectivos monocultivos. Por otra parte, se calculó el coeficiente LER (Land Equivalent Ratio). Se pudo comprobar que, a pesar de un menor crecimiento y rendimiento promedio por planta, las parcelas en policultivo tuvieron un rendimiento total por unidad de superficie mayor a los distintos monocultivos, con un LER>1. También se demostró de forma significativa un menor enmalezamiento de las parcelas de policultivo. Estos resultados confirman los efectos benéficos de la diversidad de los agroecosistemas tanto sobre el manejo de vegetación espontánea como sobre la productividad de estos sistemas.
