Abstract

MENDEZ-LOPEZ, Alonso et al. Impact of nanofertilizers on cucumber yield and quality under greenhouse conditions. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2024, vol.15, n.4, e3343.  Epub Oct 14, 2024. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v15i4.3343.

Nanofertilizers represent an efficient method for fertilizing crops, with a positive impact on plant development. This work aimed to determine the impact of Nubiotek Ultra Ca and Nubiotek Hyper Fe+Mg nanofertilizers on the yield and quality of cucumber fruits in 2020. Two doses of Nubiotek Ultra Ca (0 and 20 L ha-1) and four doses of Nubiotek Hyper Fe+Mg (0, 2, 4, and 8 ml L-1) were evaluated. An experimental design of randomized complete blocks was used with a factorial arrangement (2x4), with four repetitions. The results showed that the nanofertilizers evaluated did not improve internode distance, dry weight of each organ, root length, total soluble solids, vitamin C, titratable acidity, and fruit color parameters compared to the values obtained with the control. On the other hand, with the treatments of 0 L ha-1 Nubiotek Ultra Ca + 8 ml L-1 Nubiotek Hyper Fe+Mg and 20 L ha-1 Nubiotek Ultra Ca + 2 ml L-1 Nubiotek Hyper Fe+Mg, the fruit yield increased by 111 and 123%, respectively, compared to the control. Likewise, a greater firmness of fruits was observed when applying Nubiotek Ultra Ca and Nubiotek Hyper Fe+Mg in doses of 20 L ha-1 + 8 ml L-1 ; on the other hand, the highest content of chlorophyll a, b and total was achieved with doses of 20 L ha-1 + 4 ml L-1 and 20 L ha-1 + 8 ml L-1.
