Abstract:
Food security is a crucial issue for sustainable development, public health, and economic stability. In the study conducted in the CENDAJURU municipality on good agricultural practices for cultivating Elite 89 maize variety, during the period from June 30, 2024, to July 25, 2024, with the participation of 16 seed multipliers, it25.0. Only variables with a p < 0.05 in the multivariate logistic regression were considered to be significantly associated with chronic malnutrition. As findings, the descriptive analysis showed a prevalence of chronic malnutrition of 55% in children less than five years Organic fertilization allows for an average yield of 1,316.67 kg; fertilization using only FOMI fertilizers gives an average yield of 1,550 kg, while combined fertilization (FOMI fertilizers and organic matter) enables achieving an average yield of 2,300 kg.
