Effect of two bioproducts on some indicators of growth and productivity of Raphanus sativus

Efficient microorganisms are a combination of several natural microorganisms, belonging to three main groups: phototropic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. FitoMas-E (R) is a product derived from sugarcane, obtained from the Cuban Research Institute of Sugarcane Derivatives. Both preparations have shown wide impact on species of agricultural interest, so the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of efficient microorganisms and FitoMas-E (R) on some indicators of growth and productive behavior of radish. Four treatments were studied that consisted of the simple and combined application of efficient microorganisms and FitoMas-E (R) compared to a control treatment without application. The treatments were organized in an experimental randomized block design. The height of the plant, number of leaves, length and diameter of the fleshy root, fresh and dry mass of the eshy root, yield in kg m(-2), content of reducing sugars and total soluble proteins were evaluated. The combined application of efficient microorganisms and FitoMas-E (R) presented the best results in the growth and yield variables, as well as the higher content of reducing sugars and total soluble proteins.
