Abstract
The development of farming technologies that allow the obtaining of agricultural products free of chemical compounds that are harmful to the agricultural environment as well as the consumers is a challenge that several research groups have addressed. In several case studies the effect of various treatments of organic fertilization on quality variables of the agricultural product to be produced has been analyzed. It is for this reason that the development of fertilization techniques that allow the obtaining of harmless agricultural products and of friendly production for the agricultural environment is very important for the sustainable development of a community. In this work a comparative study was carried out between two fertilization protocols (traditional/organic) in order to observe the effect of these on parameters of radish quality and in this way generate organic fertilization proposals for the development of sustainable agriculture in Mexico. The analysis of the effect on variables related to the quality of production of radish (Raphanus sativus L) which occurs in the northern region of the Guanajuato state was carried out. Treatments of traditional fertilization, organic fertilization and mixing of these were analyzed in ratios 1/0, 0.9/0.1, 0.8/0.2, 0.7/0.3, 0.6/0.4, 0.5/0.5, 0.4/0.6, 0.3/0.7, 0.2/0.8, 0.1/0.9, 0/1 (Traditional/Organic), the results show that in terms of yield, root length, equatorial growth, of the product of interest (bulb) there are significant differences in the treatments with greater fraction of organic compound. In terms of the difference between root length and equatorial growth, the control was the experiment that showed the lowest value. Regarding the number of true leaves and stem height of the radish plant the results show that there is no tendency towards traditional or organic treatment. The study revealed that when fertilization tends toward the organic protocol, the most adequate results are obtained in terms of quality parameters.
