Effect of hormonal products on the yield of pea (Pisum sativum) cv. Usui in Huaral, Peru

Abstract

Objective: To determine the effect of hormonal products on the yield of pea (Pisum sativum) cv. INIA-Usui in the Huaral valley, Peru. Methodology: The treatments considered were T0 control, T1 Biozyme, T2 Triggrr foliar, T3 Kelpak and T4 Activol. The variables evaluated were: plant height (cm) at flowering and harvest, pod length (cm), pod weight per harvest and yield. A randomized complete block design with five treatments and four blocks was used. Results: The hormonal products favoured plant growth, significantly outperforming the control. With respect to harvest and total yield, the application of Triggrr foliar favoured better results, followed in importance by Biozyme, Activol and Kelpak. Conclusion: The application of hormones favoured better yields in the production of peas cv. INIA-Usui, with the foliar Triggrr product standing out among them.
