The variables auricle color, edge shape, precocity, growth habit, grain size and serosity showed little genetic variability, while the number of tillers per plant, number of spikelets per spike and glume color showed high genetic variability. The principal component analysis, based on the correlation matrix, showed that the first four principal components (PC) explained 71% of the total variation observed in the characterized accessions. The cluster analysis formed three groups according to the evaluated morphological characteristics, with group three containing the accessions with the best agronomic characteristics. None of the evaluated accessions had rust damage. Around 15 wheat accessions had good agronomic performance under the conditions of this study, which should be used in future genetic improvement programs aimed at identifying elite materials in the Department of Boyacá.","PeriodicalId":211714,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133891782","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}

However, pepper seeds have slow and asynchronous germination. Organic agriculture encourages using natural substances for the pre-germinative treatment of seeds. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the effect of priming sweet pepper seeds with bromelain crude extract (obtained from pineapple stem residues) on subsequent seedling emergence and growth. The effects of the proteolytic activity of the extract (0, 3.16, 6.25, 12.25, and 25.0 totalU), imbibition time (0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 h), and imbibition temperature (15, 25, 35 and 45 ℃) on seedling emergence and growth were assessed. The significantly best emergence, based on a range of indicators (emergence percentage: E, time to 50% emergence: TE50, emergence index: EI, mean emergence rate: MER, mean emergence time: MET, and synchronization index: SI), was obtained when the seeds were treated for three h at 35°C with a 6.25 totalU bromelain crude extract. Seeds subjected to this treatment combination also yielded the most vigorous seedlings (number of true leaves, length and thickness of the stems, fresh mass, dry mass, leaf area) . In conclusion, pre-germinative treatment with bromelain crude extract of 6.25 totalU proteolytic activity for three h at 35°C improved seedling emergence and growth in sweet pepper seedlings relative to untreated seed. This result offers an organic priming alternative for seeds of sweet pepper.","PeriodicalId":211714,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116358543","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}

The major objective was to determine statistical analysis alternatives that could be used in the study of physiological, environmental or genetic variations. The parameters analyzed were hematocrit, hemoglobin concentrations and counts of polymorphonuclear cells (i.e., eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils and lymphocytes). Initially 972 data from adult cows with productions considered medium-high in the context of local dairy production were analyzed. After the information decanting process, 415 records were used. These data corresponded to a sampling period from 30 days before calving to day 105 postpartum, with determinations made fortnightly. Blood collection was made every two weeks and each moment was defined as a period. Different analytical techniques were applied in searching to extract the best information from the data and that could be reused in the future. The best type of analysis corresponded to the Random Forest (RF) technique, clustering, and analysis of variance.The effect of an indicator of energy metabolism (non-esterified fatty acids - NEFA), an indicator of protein metabolism (total protein - TP) of 10 collection periods, three breed groups and three types of nutritional management given to the animals on the blood variables were analyzed. Multivariate correlation and machine learning methods were used to extract information from the data. Results indicated that hematological behavior change throughout close up dry cow, transition period and first phase of lactation. No high direct or inverse correlation were found among variables. Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels can be estimated from variables associated with metabolic indicators and blood components. Further studies are required to elucidate the hematic behavior of dairy cows during the transition period.","PeriodicalId":211714,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131716278","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}

This apple has essential health benefits and remarkable adaptive potential in tropical and subtropical areas affected by climate change. Thus, this review presents the significance of the 'Anna' apple cultivation, the phenological and eco-physiological modifications, and the current state of agronomic management when continuous crops are managed in tropical highlands. The production of this apple in tropical highlands has outstanding potential to obtain cyclical or continuous harvests (two harvests per year) in certain areas with specific environmental conditions, implementing a particular management system. In plantations, it is crucial to carry out some agronomic practices during the reproductive phenology so that the apple tree does not enter into an endodormancy. These are water stress - defoliation – tie-down branches, and the application of dormancy-breaking agents (flower-inducing compounds). In Colombia, ‘Anna’ variety was introduced in 1985 and is grown in areas with temperatures between 14 and 20°C, altitudes between 1700 and 2800 meters above sea level (m a.s.l.), with bimodal and monomodal rain regimes, and solar brightness between 800 and 2000 hours a year. The harvest is between 100 to 120 days after anthesis, with firmness values of 38.38N, a soluble solids content of 8.58°Brix, and total titratable acidity of 0.7% of the fruit. This documentation indicates a good production with great potential in terms of growth and development, earliness, and quality of the 'Anna' apple tree in Colombian highlands.","PeriodicalId":211714,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114455722","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}

Trained cuppers assign scores to ten quality attributes on a scale of 1 to 10. Exposure of coffee to moisture and/or oxygen during storage and/or transportation can affect the sensory evaluation and reduce the price received by farmers. This paper has two objectives. First, it estimates the effect of sensory scores and water activity on coffee price and its price differential from the market price. Second, it explores coffee sensory scores sensitivity to storage duration and water activity under two methods of application of the Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags - the standard three layers PICS bag (PICS-3L) and the two layers PICS bag (PICS-2L). Data were collected for ten months from an experiment conducted in Manizales, Colombia. Results suggest, on average, that an additional point in the score of flavor or body increases the price of coffee by at least 66 COP/kg (0.015 USD/kg). If coffee has an additional point in aftertaste or uniformity from what is expected from other coffees of the same origin, then its price differential is reduced by at least 8 COP/kg (0.002 USD/kg). Using a PICS-3L bag instead of a PICS-2L bag does not affect the coffee price or sensory scores, but it reduces the price differential by approximately 18 COP/kg (0.004 USD/kg). On the other hand, water activity reduces coffee price but not its price differential. Storage time affects coffee sensory scores in some attributes, which may impact the coffee bean price.","PeriodicalId":211714,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131131701","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}

The management of this pathogen is difficult and so far, it is based on preventive measures; however, there are alternatives such as genetic resistance, which is one of the most effective and profitable measures for its management. Taking that into account, the objective of this study was to evaluate the reaction of 40 genotypes of goldenberry against F. oxysporum under greenhouse conditions, by means of pathogenicity tests. The experiment was conducted in a selected place in the city of Pasto (Nariño department, south of Colombia). It was carried out with 40 genetic materials corresponding to different genotypes, one commercial control and four replicates per experimental unit; the statistical design was completely randomized. The traits evaluated were plant height (cm), disease severity (%), AUDPC area under the disease progress curve (units), disease incidence (%) and degree of vascular discoloration.
