Aplicación de lixiviados de vermicompost y respuesta agronómica de dos variedades de pimiento

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of vermicompost leakage based on Vegetable Residues and Chicken Manure; Vegetable and Agroindustrial Residues, and the combination of the two leakages, in rates of 60 y 90 l ha-1 on the growth and pepper production. The study was carried out in Marconi and Wonder pepper varieties, in total seven treatments were established in three repetitions. The best response in fruit diameter in both evaluated varieties corresponded to the Vegetable and Agroindustrial Residues Leakage 90 l ha-1 and Combined Leakage 90 l ha-1 treatments, being superior to the control with values ​​between 52 and 15%. On the other hand, the longest fruit length was evidenced in the Combined Leakage 90 l ha-1 treatment. Similarly, the root biomass increased in all treatments where leakage was applied.  In production, defined by fruit weight, the outstanding treatments were Vegetable and Agroindustrial Residues Leakage 90 l ha-1 and Combined Leakage 90 l ha-1. Thus, we can conclude that the use of vermicompost leakage in rates of 90 l ha-1 represents an alternative to enhance pepper yield. Furthermore, the combination of these two types of leakage caused a synergistic effect on the physiology and vegetal production
