Resposta de cultivares de cenoura à aplicação de microrganismos eficientes em sistema de cultivo orgânico

Abstract

The increase in the consumption of organic foods together with the growth and improvement in carrot cultivation, makes this an activity with great potential. The objective of the present study will be to evaluate the performance of three carrot cultivars on the use of efficient microorganisms (EM). The study was carried out in the experimental area of the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR) Câmpus Santa Helena, in the municipality of Santa Helena-PR between the months of May and September 2024 using a randomized block design, in a factorial scheme (3 cultivars of carrot with and without the use of EM). The cultivars used are Nantes Medium Calibrada, Híbrida Tellus and Danvers medium Comprida, using the product EM°1. Sowing took place manually in the first fortnight of July, incorporating the EM°1 product into the soil 15 days before sowing, 10 days after sowing and 45 days after sowing. The use of EM’s did not show any change in the cultivars; The cultivar with the best initial development is Danvers; There was no statistical difference between cultivars and the use of efficient microorganisms.
