Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate the development by direct sowing of Ochroma pyramidale (Cav. ex Lam.) seeds for the remediation of areas degraded by mining activity in the Virgen de la Candelaria sector, Inambari district of the department of Madre de Dios. The applied method was an experimental design, of the quantitative and explanatory applied type. The planting process consisted of four phases: installation of plots, marking, sowing of seeds and fertilization. The installed experimental design was 3 × 2. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed, with a Fisher's test at a level of significance α 0.05. Average height growth was 18.98 mm and germination 43.98%, which when compared to the two planting densities of 1 m × 2 m and 2 m × 4 m turned out to be statistically different (α = 0.05). Likewise, the average mortality found was 52.05%, that is, slightly high, with no statistical difference between planting densities.
