Methodology: A total of 400 7-year-old cv. Hass trees were selected and georeferenced in the municipalities of Temascaltepec and Tenancingo, Estado de México. Adult insects of C. aguacataewere collected using sticky traps baited with a commercial adhesive.

Infected surface maps were generated with the ordinary kriging technique, and graphical representation was provided with the Surfer 16 software.Results: The spatial behavior of the insect is observed in clusters within the plots. In some months, infestations were distributed over 100 % of the surface, but with variable population densities. These results can improve pest detection and sampling programs, as well as control measures on specific areas of infestation.Study limitations: No insects during some sampling periods.Originality: Use of geostatistical methods as a tool to know the spatial distribution of pests in the avocado plantations in Mexico.Conclusions: Including geostatistical methods in the management of C. aguacatae can help avocado growers, because it it provides a more precise knowledge of their spatial behavior.","PeriodicalId":132972,"journal":{"name":"Ingeniería Agrícola y Biosistemas","volume":"965 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134630328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aviable alternative to this problem is to develop a network of water pipes connected to heat exchangers (HEs) that operate as a conductive cooling system. Objective: To propose a water supply system connected to a series of HEs, installed under bedding in a dairy barn freestall system, and analyze heat transfer along a large-scale water pipe network. Methodology: The EPANET water quality module was used to design the system. Temperature predictions were validated with experimental data from a network of four HE pipes installed under the bedding. A network was then designed to supply water to 1 000 HEs in order tocalculate the efficiency of the system for a real dairy farm. Results: Insulations with values of 0.095 and 0.0475 W∙m-1∙°C-1 increased the cooling capacity of water-carrying pipes by 7 and 12 %, respectively. Increasing the flow rates from 1 to 7 L∙min-1 increased the cooling capacity; however, the cooling efficiency decreased by at least 12 %.

Certain effects generated by traditional irrigation systems are intentional and others not entirely. Objective: To demonstrate that spate irrigation systems generate unintended effects such as flood control, in a 100-year return period, in the presence of maximum floods. Methodology: A hydrological analysis was carried out for two scenarios: 1) current situation (water boxes operating) and 2) hypothetical situation (boxes for this purpose are suppressed or disused). Within the hydrological model, with the HEC-HMS program, the methodologies of the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the United States (runoff curve number and unit hydrograph) and a design storm of 167.8 mm were considered. Flood routing in channels was performed using the Muskingum method. Results: With the current situation, the flow rate generated at the box system outlet was 0 m·s, which is the product of the partial storage of the runoff, while with the hypothetical situation, the maximum flow rate becomes 535.5 m·s. Study limitations: The efficiency of the water box system as an irrigation technique was not evaluated. Originality: There are few hydrological studies that demonstrate quantitative benefits of traditional irrigation techniques. Conclusions: The operating water box system functions as a reservoir.
