INTEGRACIÓN DE SABERES EN LA PARROQUIA PEDRO PABLO GÓMEZ DEL CANTÓN JIPIJAPA

Abstract

Soil is a finite resource, and the natural processes for its formation, development, and restoration do not occur at the same rate at which it degrades. In this article the main physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil are defined and described, discussing its importance and the typical values of agricultural soils. A reflection is made on the importance of monitoring the properties of the soil and its directed management to avoid its degradation. The interdisciplinary relationships between the basic sciences are analyzed to carry out the study of agricultural land in the rural parish of Pedro Pablo Gómez in the canton of Jipijapa. The methods used were exploratory documentary, through bibliographic study and research, statistics with the documentation of the parish and the experience of the residents of the parish. The great pressure on the soils that humanity exerts to satisfy their food needs has promoted their intensive use which, together with poor management practices (such as intensive tillage, monoculture, indiscriminate application of agrochemicals, among others), have caused deterioration and soil degradation. The underlying problem is the poor understanding of the human being about the soil and its properties. For these reasons, we undertook the task of investigating the situations of agricultural soil in the parishes of zone 4, ManabÍ­ province, through the integrative projects of knowledge. to the Jipijapa community in the training and study of the soil to have a better result in their harvests.
