| dc.description | The research analysis entitled “Analysis of the impact of sprinkler and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems on cocoa cultivation in the coastal region”, carried out in the Canton Babahoyo in the fields of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, aims to evaluate how different irrigation systems affect cocoa cultivation. The methodology used was exploratory and bibliographic, which allowed for an in-depth view of the irrigation technologies used in cocoa cultivation in the coastal region. In addition, the research focused on the analysis of sprinkler and micro-sprinkler irrigation systems applied to already established crops, which provided practical and real data for the study. The comparison between the irrigation systems was fundamental in determining how each one influences the behavior and productivity of the crops. The treatments evaluated —sprinkler irrigation and micro-sprinkler irrigation— were measured by means of several variables: field capacity, wilting point, root depth and a benefit-cost analysis. These variables are crucial for evaluating water yield, crop health and the economic efficiency of the irrigation systems used. The results obtained showed significant differences between the two irrigation systems. This difference suggests that each system has a different impact on cocoa cultivation, whether in terms of the amount of water absorbed by the soil, root development or the cost-benefit ratio. It is likely that micro-sprinkler systems, which offer a more controlled and precise distribution of water, have shown advantages in terms of water efficiency and possibly in root growth, which would be reflected in higher crop productivity. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La presente investigación “Análisis del impacto de los sistemas de riego por aspersión y microaspersión en el cultivo de cacao en la región costa”, realizado en el Cantón Babahoyo en los campos de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, tiene como objetivo evaluar cómo los diferentes sistemas de riego benefician el cultivo de cacao. La metodología empleada fue de tipo exploratorio y bibliográfico, lo que permitió obtener una visión profunda sobre las tecnologías de riego utilizadas en el cultivo de cacao en la región costa del Ecuador. Además, la investigación se centró en el análisis de los sistemas de riego por aspersión y microaspersión aplicados a cultivos ya establecidos, lo que aportó datos prácticos y reales para el estudio. La comparación entre los sistemas de riego fue fundamental para determinar cómo cada uno de ellos influye en el comportamiento y productividad de los cultivos. Los tratamientos evaluados —riego por aspersión y riego por microaspersión— se midieron mediante varias variables, la capacidad de campo, el punto de marchitez, la profundidad de la raíz y un análisis beneficio-costo. Estas variables son cruciales para evaluar el rendimiento hídrico, la salud del cultivo y la eficiencia económica de los sistemas de riego empleados. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias significativas entre ambos sistemas de riego. Esta diferencia sugiere que cada sistema tiene un impacto distinto sobre el cultivo de cacao, ya sea en términos de la cantidad de agua absorbida por el suelo, el desarrollo de las raíces o la relación costo-beneficio. Es probable que los sistemas de microaspersión, que ofrecen una distribución más controlada y precisa del agua, hayan mostrado ventajas en cuanto a eficiencia hídrica y posiblemente en el crecimiento radicular, lo que se reflejaría en una mayor productividad del cultivo. | es_ES |
