Proceso tecnológico para elaboración de plantas ornamentales en Atlixco, Puebla

Abstract

This present work is related to the production of ornamental plants, which is part of the nursery industry. This activity in Atlixco is considered a fundamental part of tourism, since the production of diverse varieties, such as roses, geraniums, succulents, petunias, daisies, among others, attracts more tourists and plant enthusiasts. To obtain these plants, a series of activities are carried out, including: raw material ordering, transportation, storage, mixing to obtain the suitable substrate for plant growth and development, transplanting of seedlings/cuttings, transfer to the growth area, and finally, exhibition and sale. On the other hand, an analysis of all the mentioned activities is carried out through a time study using a chronometer to identify the operations that add value to the production and, as a result, obtain the cycle time.
