Validación de los protocolos de aspersión de productos fitosanitarios en el cultivo de Crisantemo Dendranthema grandiflorum (Ramat) Kitam en el municipio La Ceja, Antioquía.

Abstract

This work was carried out at the Montellano farm owned by the company Flores Silvestres located in La Ceja, Antioquia. Its main objective was to validate and review the practices for spraying phytosanitary products. In this case, cleaning, protection and product handling variables were evaluated in the field. Evaluations were made with checklists of the steps that must be taken into account when applying phytosanitary products, taking into account variables such as adequate use of personal protection elements, transportation of products to the spraying area, pH measurement, proper mixing order and other variables that helped to determine the real state of the applications on the farm, based on the checklists. Seeing them as an aid for the evaluations to be achieved in their totality and to determine if the quality is as expected or on the contrary some specific points should be improved and corrected, as evidenced in the results obtained where there are some shortcomings that may cause biological risks and economic losses that linked to the standards of the certifications give a part of non-compliance that affects the score or compliance of its factors and determine the loss of the seal, which may result in the fall of customers and quality of the export flower that is handled in the field. Although the area of Mipe was not totally part of the functions, this experience was enriching because it was possible to demonstrate the knowledge learned at the University and the importance of a good protection at the time of performing each of the data collection procedures was necessary to reduce exposure to the smallest percentage.
