| Sumario: | The production of habanero pepper in Yucatán demands quality seedlings at the time of transplantation, which has led to the use of growth regulators, which, although it is true, potentiate the germination and development of the plants, they also increase production costs. For this reason, production alternatives are being sought that reduce costs, which is why an eye has been focused on Aloe vera gel, whose chemical composition reports the presence of phytohormones such as gibberellins and salicylic acid. To study the response of the aloe gel in the emergence and development of the root and shoot in habanero pepper seedlings, 500 seeds of the habanero pepper variety "Mayapan" were sown, in groups of 100, previously soaked in 100 mL of aloe gel. at 0, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20%, for 24 h. The results obtained show that Aloe vera gel reduces emergence by four days and favors root development, plant height and total fresh biomass by up to 18%; 11% the diameter of the stem and 13% number of leaves, observing a greater effect with the 5% solution of Aloe vera gel. |
