Asistencia técnica para la preparación del suelo con maquinaria agrícola en cultivos de yuca (Manihot Esculenta) para 10 agricultores de la vereda Barrancón del municipio de San José del Guaviare.

Abstract

The work carried out in the village of Barrancón of this municipality was elaborated in order to provide the indigenous community of the ethnic group (Jiw) with a conventional tillage plan for the preparation of their land with agricultural machinery, where it is directed to ten sectors of the village. To begin with the work, the soils in which they sow their cassava crop were observed, advising them and performing two diagnostic tests in the field that would allow them to know the characteristics of the physical and mechanical properties of the soil of the Barrancón village such as: texture test in the field, which in this area predominates a clay textural class in the 10 farms studied where we find materials to the touch as limo approximately in 7 properties, and franc in 3 properties. Next, the compaction study of the 10 soils was carried out where the penetration to 45 cm of the area in general is 2.25 Mpa - 2.75 Mpa being the highest of all that occurred in two properties (Maruya 1 and Laman) in all points taken in the ground, likewise the lowest is the property of Maruya 2 because at all points it shows the lowest value and at its 45 cm deep ranging from 2.25-2.5 Mpa which shows that it is a soil possibly little compacted. Despite the characteristics mentioned above, the conventional tillage plan was carried out with implements such as the rake, chisel and rake, in which it is important to follow the recommendations to be able to give a good management to the soil and properly apply this tillage without deteriorating the soil. In addition, it is important to highlight the cassava is the economic sustenance and main food source since they obtain products based on their cassava crop which is very desirable (fariña). In conclusion, the indigenous community does not have technical assistance qualified for the implementation of mechanized tillage of its land; Having complete advice will allow them to expand their production and also improve the food security of the inhabitants of the Barrancón village, because at present it has been determined that in the families of the Jiw population diseases associated with issues such as malnutrition stand out, there is no food safety and that there is no execution of projects that lead to the adoption of healthier production techniques, fast and effective for them. That is why the need arises to establish the mechanized tillage plan offering support and technical assistance, which creates a positive economic and social impact on the sustainable rural development of this Jiw indigenous ethnic group. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to train these cassava producers who are still important for the development of the municipality.
