Abstract

The study aims to determine the effect of Bioway® on the chemical properties of an Inceptisol soil dedicated to intensive cocoa production. The experiment was conducted in the greenhouse belonging to the soil laboratory of the Universidad Tecnológica Equinoccial in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, Ecuador. In a completely randomized block design, with five replications, five doses of Bioway® were distributed (0; 2; 4; 6 and 8 t ha-1). Yellow corn (INIAP 542) was used as an indicator plant during three consecutive cycles of four weeks per cycle and soil and plant samples were collected and analyzed. The results show that the best indicators of soil fertility and corn plant growth were achieved with the application of 6 and 8 t ha-1 of Bioway®.
