Commercial organic fertilizers, peasant knowledge, chemical fertilization, use of local manureAbstract
Historically, farmers have generated knowledge about agriculture from their experiences. However, it is not known whether the farmers of the Sierra Nevada de Puebla implement adequate fertilization management for the cultivation of Chile Poblano, due to lack of information on this subject. The aim of this research was to document the knowledge that farmers have about fertilization management for Chile Poblano, through the application of a questionnaire that makes it possible to obtain information in this regard, and will serve as a basis to improve current practices. 50 producers were interviewed, selected from a regional register of 200 farmers, with a qualitative[1]quantitative sampling of maximum variance, in 14 localities, distributed among nine municipalities of the Sierra Nevada. The information was analyzed using descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Three groups of producers were identified, taking as a classification criterion, the way in which they use local manure, commercial organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers in terms of the management of nutrients for the crop. It was concluded that farmers have generated empirical knowledge about the use of manure and chemical fertilizers for the cultivation of Chile Poblano, but they do not know how to appropriately combine these sources to increase fruit yield.
