In this region, 585 ha were cultivated with a production of 4,298 t, in 2018, grouping 900 growers and representing 93% of the national production. However, despite its representativeness, no characterization studies of the species are evidenced. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the socioeconomic, productive, and technological aspects linked to eggplant cultivation in productive areas from the Colombian Caribbean region. In that order, structured surveys were designed and applied. The information was analyzed through multivariate statistical methods, such as Gower's distance and Ward's hierarchical agglomerative clustering method. In general, the results revealed a low-medium technological level associated with eggplant production in this region of Colombia. Of the five groups identified, the highest level of schooling was found in groups GIV and Gv, which also obtained the highest yields with 35 t ha-1 and 32 t ha-1, respectively. Sowings predominate in the month of April; this activity is related to the occurrence of precipitation in this period and the general lack of irrigation technologies by growers. 2020 artículo científico 0120-9965 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=180376060013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180376060013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180376060013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180376060013/180376060013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1803/180376060013/movil 10.15446/agron.colomb.v38n1.80706 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1803 Agronomía Colombiana application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Agronomía Colombiana (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.38 |
