Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias . Escuela de Ingeniería Agronómica, 2013) Apugllón Chimbo, Ana; Aucancela Ati, Nancy del Rocío; Monar, NelsonCauliflower is a cruciferous native of Asia Minor, regions Eastern Mediterranean. In ancient times it was not consumed as food. The Romans were the first to cultivate cauliflower. From Italy it spread to Mediterranean, through trade relations that took place at that time. It was in the sixteenth century when the crop went to France and England. In the Currently, China is the leading producer of cauliflower in the world. (Http://antonella-cauliflower.blogspot.com/....html.) Cauliflower is a vegetable rich in vitamins and minerals, low- glycosides and low in calories like other vegételes of the family cruciferous photo contains chemicals, which are substances natural that they have related to the prevention of some cancers. (Seymour, J. 1997) The cultivation of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) is very old, the world began from 1980-2009, it grew from 324 million to 881 million tons. In Ecuador 900 acres of cauliflower are grown, with an output of 11637 MT, and a national average yield of 12 93TM / ha, showing that his demand has started to rise in the local market and international, for the benefits outlined why producers are interested in improving production and productivity. (Zapata, O. 2008) Horticultural activity in Ecuador is very diverse, both for their particular primary production systems, such as the structural formation of the chains agribusiness in the country; It is basically concentrated in the highlands, both for their soil, climatic and social conditions, as techniques and systems production applied; general agriculture for small farmers, has a type of "domestic" character (III National Agricultural Census, Year. 2000) Besides the other cantons of Chimborazo have a yield of cauliflower It reached 23.5 MT / ha; contrasting with the average exists in the area not He reaches 7 MT / ha; considering components such as fertilizer type, dose application, seeds and varieties. (III National Agricultural Census, Year. 2000) In the province of Chimborazo specifically in the area of Guamote, the growing vegetables, especially cauliflower have great prospects to the future, however at the present time has not been given the utmost importance in the application of techniques to obtain parameters and knowledge apply to the increased exploitation of horticultural species for the producer and / or consumer values several advantages that improve efficiency local production systems. The use of organic fertilizers such as compost, Bocashi, Humus Worm, among others; allow proper management of natural resources agro productive, protecting health and the environment, lowering costs production, yields a diversified quality production supply local and international markets, higher income, given differential prices have clean products as well creation of jobs, in contrast to conventional production that It performed based on the technological packages, forcing the farmer demand a large investment in the productive processes with the use of pesticides that threaten the health, damage the environment, impoverishing our farmer is going every day, by poor demand It is being presented in the consumption of food produced conventionally national and global levels. (Rosas, A. 2005) The poor use of agrochemicals and poor agricultural practices producers and technicians, resulting in serious damage to nature and the pollution and environmental degradation in all its components, residual pesticide products, loss of biodiversity, erosion Sebora ground, high production costs, in human health problems, lack of competitiveness indicators, migration from the countryside to the city and abroad. Although horticultural crops have high expectations does not exist documented in the use of organic fertilizers information showing which can be as efficient and equal profitability is obtained, which allows us increase value added to compete with local niche markets national and international and demonstrate that organic agriculture is an option technological competitive production to resume the modes contributing to local medium and long term food security. For these reasons the realization of this research is warranted in the cultivation Cauliflower with the application of organic fertilizers, in order to lower costs, reduce environmental pollution, which will be accomplished through the use organic fertilizers and techniques which generate information to provide the farmer technical support in the production of this vegetable-focused management as well as validate agroecological measures to promote the obtaining clean crops to ensure food quality. The objectives in this study were: Assess crop productivity cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) to application of three types of organic fertilizers and three doses at two locations. Determine which of the three types of fertilizers is more efficient Cauliflower production in agro-ecological zones studied. assess which of the three dose influences the production of cauliflower for study areas. Perform a cost / benefit analysis. B / C
