| dc.description | Ecuador, cucumber cultivation faces many difficulties, such as: seed selection, use or not of appropriate soils for planting, the need to make physical supports to hold the plants, irrigation provision, high incidence of pests and diseases, organic or chemical fertilization, perishability of the fruits, low prices of crops, among other difficulties. The objective of this work was to highlight the importance of the use of organic fertilizers in cultivation, to point out one of the main difficulties of this kind of cultivation. This work was proposed as a bibliographical, non-experimental research, and the methodology used was the consultation of texts, magazines, scientific articles, review of specialized digital sites, among other sources. The information was analyzed, synthesized and summarized to structure a document that is easily understood by any reader. In the main, the results of the research revealed that the application of organic fertilizers not only enhances the physical-chemical characteristics and fertility of the soil, but also favors the resistance of plants to the attack of pests and diseases; to which we must add the greater retention of humidity, also contributing to having a more balanced and healthy environmental ecosystem. The main recommended organic fertilizers are: manure, compost, worm humus and bioles. Also, the application of these good agronomic practices saves the investment and expense of the crop because they are cheaper compared to the expense in chemical fertilizers. The conclusions highlight that the orientation towards the use of organic fertilizers makes cucumber cultivation, as a crop and as a financial source, more sustainable and sustainable, to which we must add the added value that means benefiting the environment. In addition, this study recommends the intervention of public and private agricultural institutions and organizations to join forces to provide technical training to small farmers so that they use organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers, safeguarding the health and safety of this food that is widely consumed by the Ecuadorian population. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | En el Ecuador, el cultivo de pepino enfrenta muchas dificultades, tales como: la selección de semilla, utilización o no de suelos apropiados para la siembra, la necesidad de hacer soportes físicos para sostener las plantas, dotación de riego, alta incidencia de plagas y enfermedades, abonadura orgánica o fertilización química, perecibilidad de los frutos, los bajos precios de las cosechas, entre otras dificultades. El objetivo de este trabajo fue destacar la importancia de la utilización de los abonos orgánicos en el cultivo, para señalar una de las principales dificultades de esta clase de cultivo. Este trabajo se lo planteó como una investigación bibliográfica, no experimental, y la metodología que se utilizó fue la consulta de textos, revistas, artículos científicos, revisión de sitios digitales especializados, entre otras fuentes. La información fue analizada, sintetizada y resumida para estructurar un documento que sea fácilmente comprendido por cualquier lector, En lo principal, los resultados de la investigación revelaron que la aplicación de abonos orgánicos no solo potencian las características físico-químico y la fertilidad del suelo de cultivo, sino que también favorece la resistencia de las plantas al ataque de plagas y enfermedades; a lo que hay que agregar la mayor retención de la humedad, contribuyendo además a tener un ecosistema ambiental más balanceado y sano. Los principales abonos orgánicos recomendados son: estiércol, compost, humus de lombriz y bioles. También, la aplicación de estas buenas prácticas agronómicas ahorra la inversión y el gasto del cultivo pues son más económicas en comparación con el gasto en fertilizantes químicos. Las conclusiones destacan que la orientación al uso de abonos orgánicos hace que el cultivo de pepino sea, como cultivo y como fuente financiera, más sostenible y sustentable, a lo que hay que adicionar el valor agregado que significa beneficiar al medio ambiente. Complementariamente, este estudio recomienda la intervención de las instituciones y organismos agrícolas públicos y privados para sumar esfuerzos en pro de la capacitación técnica de los pequeños agricultores para que utilicen los abonos orgánicos en lugar de los fertilizantes químicos, salvaguardando la sanidad e inocuidad de este alimento que es muy consumido por la población ecuatoriana. | es_ES |
