Resumen
El maíz constituye un todo en la alimentación del hombre
ecuatoriano así como en sus diferentes actividades. El cultivo del
maíz, especialmente en la provincia de Manabí, Loja y parte del
Guayas, la mayor parte del área sembrada utilizan el 70% u 80% de
mano de obra durante la labor del cultivo, lo que da una gran
importancia económica y social para esas provincias ya que utilizan
gran cantidad de gente generando empleo.
En nuestro país la creciente demanda de ésta gramínea ya sea para
el consumo directo en la alimentación humana, o para suministrar
alimento a otros sectores de la producción, para la industria en
general o para exportación, hace evidente la necesidad de manejar a
éste cultivo en forma adecuada para lograr una mayor producción y
una eficiente comercialización.
La producción nacional de ésta gramínea varía debido a diferentes
factores. En nuestro país, el rendimiento estimado por hectárea es de
3.7 TM para el nivel tecnificado, encontrándose por debajo de los
internacionales comparado con el de los Estados Unidos que es de 7
TM por hectárea.
Corn is a whole in the diet of man Ecuadorian as well as in its different activities. The cultivation of corn, especially in the province of Manabí, Loja and part of the In Guayas, most of the planted area uses 70% or 80% of labor during the cultivation work, which gives a great economic and social importance for those provinces as they use large number of people generating employment. In our country the growing demand of this grass for either direct consumption in human food, or to supply food to other sectors of production, for the industry in general or for export, makes evident the need to manage this crop in a suitable way to achieve greater production and an efficient marketing. The national production of this grass varies due to different factors. In our country, the estimated yield per hectare is 3.7 MT for the technical level, being below the international compared to that of the United States which is 7 TM per hectare.
