El análisis de componentes principales en la interpretación de sistemas agroecológicos para el manejo de Rizobacterias promotoras del crecimiento vegetal para el cultivo de la caña de azúcar

Abstract

The Main Component Analysis constitutes a statistical tool that has traditionally been little used by agricultural researchers. This study shows the advantages of its use over other statistical methods and its usefulness in the interpretation of alternative nutrition systems in sugarcane. The experiment was carried out on Cambisol soils in the strain of regrowths of more than three cuttings, evaluating the performance of the plant before different transference forms of the Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria to the field (liquid and solid). The solid forms are based on peat and sugarcane filtered mud. The main results obtained indicated that leaf length, stem width, leaf width, number of leaves, leaf area among others were the variables with the highest contribution to the evaluated system. It was also concluded that the biological systems for the nutrition of sugar cane contribute higher variability to the productive indicators.
