Requerimiento Hídrico, Rendimiento y Calidad de Dos Híbridos de Pepino (Cucumis Sativus L.) en Condiciones de Invernadero
Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de tres niveles de riego y estimar el coeficiente de cultivo (Kc) en la producción de dos variedades de pepino (Cucumis sativus L.), el híbrido Diamante F1 y la variedad Marketmore 76, bajo condiciones de invernadero. El experimento se estableció mediante un diseño completamente al azar con arreglo factorial 2 × 3, correspondiente a dos variedades y tres niveles de riego: P1 (50 % ETc), P2 (75 % ETc) y P3 (100 % ETc), con ocho repeticiones. Se evaluaron variables de crecimiento y producción, incluyendo altura de planta, longitud del fruto, diámetro del fruto, peso del fruto, diámetro del tallo, rendimiento y huella hídrica. Los resultados indicaron que no se observaron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos para las variables longitud, peso y diámetro del fruto, ni para el diámetro del tallo. Sin embargo, el tratamiento P1 (50 % ETc) presentó reducciones significativas en variables de crecimiento y rendimiento en comparación con P2 y P3. Por otro lado, el tratamiento P2 (75 % ETc) no mostró diferencias estadísticas con el riego completo (P3), manteniendo niveles productivos similares. Estos resultados indican que el riego deficitario moderado (75 % ETc) permite optimizar el uso del agua sin afectar significativamente el rendimiento del cultivo, constituyendo una alternativa eficiente para la producción de pepino en condiciones de invernadero.
