| Zusammenfassung: | The Mexican tea (Chenopodium ambrosioides L.) is used as food, condiment and medicinal. The information related to the nutritional management of the crop production for the Mexican tea is scarce, so, the objective of the study was to determine the effect of three concentrations of the Steiner nutritive solution on the growth and production of Mexican tea grown under greenhouse. The study was conducted in Cuernavaca, Morelos, México. The genotype H-1000 (Hortaflor™) was utilized. Three concentrations of the Steiner nutritive solution (50, 75 and 100 %) were applied, to evaluate the crop growth by destructive samplings at 39, 46, 53, 60, 67 and 74 days after sowing; In each sampling the foliar area, foliar area index, fresh weight, dry matter, growth rates of the crop and absolute growth, was measured and calculated. The variables under study were performed a regression analysis with the Excel® program. In general, with the concentration of the nutritive solution at 100 %, the best results were obtained in all the evaluated variables, compared to the concentration at 75 and 50 %. The highest plant height, leaf area, dry matter, crop growth rate and fresh weight were obtained with the Steiner nutritive solution at 100 %. |
