The present work was carried out with the purpose of determining the use of the conventional fertilization programs in soursop cultivation, for which the parameters involved were described, as well as the importance of conventional fertilization using chemical sources of fertilizers. In addition, few studies were conducted on conventional fertilization programs in soursop cultivation, due to the lack of knowledge of producers of existing fertilizer sources and the nutritional status of the soil and crop. Ecuador has a great potential of opportunities for the soursop fruit to have successful incursions in the international market, therefore, it is necessary to implement management alternatives such as conventional fertilization programs, which will improve the production of fresh fruit.The present work was carried out with the purpose of determining the use of the conventional fertilization programs in soursop cultivation, for which the parameters involved were described, as well as the importance of conventional fertilization using chemical sources of fertilizers.

Además, se evidencio pocos estudios realizados sobre programas de fertilización convencional en el cultivo de guanábana, debido al desconocimiento de los productores de las fuentes de fertilizantes existentes y del estado nutricional de los suelos y cultivo. El Ecuador tiene un gran potencial de oportunidades para que el fruto de la guanábana tenga incursiones exitosas en el mercado internacional, por ende, se requiere implementar alternativas de manejo tales como programas de fertilización convencional, en cual se podrá mejorar la producción a nivel de fruta fresca.
