Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production with diatoms foliar application
Keywords:
Foliar fertilization, dry matter, grain yield, siliconAbstract
In Mexico, in 47% of the cultivated area of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.), the grain yield is less than 1.0 t ha-1. The tendency of agriculture is to look for natural and environmentally friendly alternatives to increase agricultural yield. In this study, sunflower cv. Victoria aceitero was used to determine the dose effect (0.5, 1 and 1.5 %) and the interval (7, 14 and 21 days) of foliar application of diatom earth on dry matter production and sunflower grain yield. The experimental design included randomized complete blocks with four repetitions in a split-plot arrangement.
The 1.0% dose applied every 7 days generated the highest grain yield (2047 kg ha-1), followed by this same dose every 14 days (1715 kg ha-1), which produced the highest amount of dry matter (1,209 g m-2).
