Abstract

The present research aims to evaluate the effect of an amendment based on oxides and silicates made in the company Agroinsumos Manantial, on the growth and yield of the corn crop (Zea mays L.) in a producing hectare located in the El ají farm. , belonging to the town of Aguas Clara in the municipality of Granada, Meta, for which an experimental methodological design was applied, of a descriptive type that consisted of random blocks, on which the amendment prepared by the Company based on oxides was implemented. and silicates in two different doses and the traditional agricultural management without application of amendment, thus obtaining a total of 3 evaluated treatments, two consisting of two doses and the other for the agricultural management, each with 4 repetitions.
