Economic feasibility of Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus in carrot cultivation

The inclusion of more sustainable alternatives such as bacterial inoculants is a viable option for the competitiveness vegetable crops in tropical countries Colombia. economic feasibility suspension G. diazotrophicus applied to carrot crop was determined. native isolate GIBI029 evaluated and strain ATCC 49037 used control. experiment installed subdivided plot design, where bacterium (ATCC49037 GIBI029. subplot concentration (88×106 CFU/mL 18×107 CFU/mL) and, it, levels nitrogen phosphorus (0% 100% phosphorus) were assorted. average weight (g) yield by quality consuming organ (kg/ha) evaluated. Through production cycle, fixed, variable, total costs calculated. Benefit / cost ratios higher than 1.46 net income up US$ 10,817/ha achieved. It possible efficiently economically use search competitive cultural practices.
