Dataset for: Organic agriculture trial in the locality of La Soledad, Chugay district, La Libertad - Peru (First season 2022-2023)

For this trial, the improved potato variety INIA-325 Poderosa was used with a split-plit plot design considering three factors: crop intercropping (intercropping with faba bean, variety Señorita and no-intercropping), use of a decision support system for fungicide application or “Juego de Ruedas” (Disc and no-disc) and the application of organic amendments (1, 2 and 4 t ha-1 of poultry manure).

The combination of these factors generated a total of 12 treatments; and an additional control treatment (conventional practices in the study zone). In adition, 4 replicates were established, with a total of 52 plots of 3x4 m2 each (distance between plant and furrow of 0.3 m and 1 m, respectively). The variables evaluated were: emergence (%), canopy cover (%), chlorophyll content (SPAD units), plant height (cm), fresh tuber yield (t ha-1), cost-benefit ratio and carbon footprint (kg CO2e Total) at different times during the vegetative period of the crop.
