Impact of organic fertilizers associated with mycorrhizae on yield and nutraceutical quality of cucumber. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.5, pp.785-798.  Epub 10-Oct-2022.

The use of organic fertilizers together with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are an alternative for the recovery of soils and optimizing the quality of foods because they help improve the absorption of nutrients that leads to obtaining foods free of agrochemicals. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of organic fertilizers and AMF on the dynamics of cucumber production and quality. The study was conducted at UAAAN-UL, Torreón, Coahuila, during 2019. Six treatments were generated: AEBE= sand + bovine manure + Ecomic; AECE= sand + goat manure + Ecomic; AEEE= sand + equine manure + Ecomic; SEEE= soil + equine manure + Ecomic; ACE= sand + compost + Ecomic; and ASNS= sand + Steiner nutrient solution. The treatments were established in a completely randomized design with six repetitions. The following variables were evaluated: plant height, stem diameter, length, width and weight of fruit, yield, firmness, soluble solids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and antioxidants. The data obtained were subjected to an analysis of variance and Tukey tests (p≤ 0.05). The results showed significant differences in all the variables analyzed and the AEBE treatment stood out in plant height, weight and fruit diameter, while all treatments with organic fertilization obtained better response in nutraceutical quality, compared to the control.
