Effect of fertilization on rhizome and starch yield of achira (Canna edulis, Ker) in Nariño, Colombia

Introduction. In Colombia, achira (Canna edulis, Ker) starch production is important in the Andean zone, in the departments of Nariño, Huila, and Cundinamarca. Objective. To evaluate the effect of planting density and fertilization on achira starch and rhizome yield, and the relationship between them, in the department of Nariño, Colombia. Materials and methods. Between September 2016 and October 2017 trials were installed in two locations in the municipality of La Cruz Nariño, Colombia. With BCA design distributed in sub-sub-divided plots with the following treatments: the blocks were composed of two main plots corresponding to two regional cultivars of achira, the sub-plots corresponded to two planting densities 10,000 and 12,500 plants/ha and the sub-sub-plots corresponded to three levels of N, P2O5, and K2O with chemical source and organic fertilizer. Results. The rhizome yield was higher than the national average with all treatments; the best yield was obtained at the highest level of chemical fertilization. There was a better response of the purple cultivar with 6.15 t ha-1 of starch, 15 % more than the green cultivar and a 21 % higher starch/rhizome yield. With the highest planting density, 15 % more starch was obtained, and with organic fertilizer the starch yield was higher than the regional average, but 50 % lower than with chemical fertilization, with which an average of 6.23 t ha-1 was obtained. Conclusion. There was a response of the achira to the N-P-K application and the planting density on achira starch and rhizome yield, and the relationship between both, in addition a different agronomic response of the cultivars under the study conditions was found.

Con diseño de BCA fue distribuido en parcelas sub-sub-divididas con los siguientes tratamientos: los bloques estuvieron compuestos de dos parcelas principales correspondientes a dos cultivares regionales de achira, las subparcelas correspondieron a dos densidades de siembra 10 000 y 12 500 plantas/ha y las sub-sub-parcelas correspondieron a tres niveles de N, P2O5 y K2O con fuente química y abono orgánico. Resultados. El rendimiento de rizoma fue superior al promedio nacional con todos los tratamientos; el mejor rendimiento se obtuvo en el nivel más alto de fertilización química. Hubo mejor respuesta del cultivar morado con 6,15 t ha-1 de almidón, 15 % más que el cultivar verde y un rendimiento almidón/rizoma 21 % superior. Con la mayor densidad de siembra se obtuvo un 15 % más de almidón y con abono orgánico el rendimiento de almidón fue superior al promedio regional, pero 50 % inferior a la fertilización química, con la cual se obtuvo en promedio 6,23 t ha-1. Conclusión. Hubo respuesta de la achira a la aplicación de N-P-K y a la densidad de siembra sobre rendimiento de almidón y rizoma de achira y la relación entre ambos, además se encontró una diferente respuesta agronómica de los cultivares bajo las condiciones de estudio.
