Objective: To describe the growth of male guinea pigs of the Peruvian breed using the non-linear Brody, Gompertz, Logistic, and Von Bertalanffy models. Methodology: Twelve male guinea pigs with an initial weight of 393 ± 55 g were housed in metabolic cages with ad libitum feeding of a complete pellet diet. They were weighed every seven days for 13 weeks until reaching 1197 ± 84 g. Criteria used to assess the model's fitting ability included the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), coefficient of determination (R2), concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), and mean squared prediction error (CMEP). Results: The Logistic model consistently predicted maturity weight (1421g), initial weight (187g), age (65 days), and weight (711g) at the growth curve inflection point. Gompertz and Von Bertalanffy's models tended to overestimate adult weight (A) and exhibited the lowest maturity index (k). Among Gompertz, Logistic, and Von Bertalanffy models, AIC, BIC, R2, CCC, and CMEP fitting criteria showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). Implications: The Brody model was the only one with biologically inconsistent parameters. Conclusion: Considering the biological significance of parameters and residual analysis, the Logistic model is more suitable for describing the growth curve of male guinea pigs of the Peruvian breed.","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140481480","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}

Climate change models have projected an increase in the distribution of certain crop pests of economic importance by forecasting more favorable future conditions for these organisms. In citrus farming, Huanglongbing is one of the most devastating diseases worldwide, since it has caused the death of millions of trees. Objetive. The objective of this study was to estimate the current and future distribution of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus in Mexico, under the climate change scenarios SSP2 4.5 and SSP5 8.5, for the years 2050 and 2070. Methodology. Distribution models were generated with MaxEnt and R, using uncorrelated bioclimatic variables from eight General Circulation Models (GCM) derived from CMIP6 and disease presence data. Results. The results indicate that the current suitability is 44.6 %. The future distribution depended on how model predictions were pooled. An optimistic approach that considered the intersection of all models showed a small reduction of 4.1% while, considering the union of all the GCM models, the increase will vary from 12.3 to 20.1 % of the Mexican territory depending on the particular scenario and time projection. Implications. The zones of potential occurrence of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus include most of the citrus-growing areas in Mexico. Conclusion. In some regions, future scenarios show a reduction in the potential occurrence of the species in citrus plantations. However, the risk remains because its surroundings include suitable areas that can be sources of dissemination of the disease. ","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140484275","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}

Forage trees and shrubs are an alternative that improve dry matter intake and digestibility in ruminants, due to their high ruminal degradation rate, higher nitrogen contribution for rumen microorganisms, low percentage of neutral and acid detergent fiber. Objective. To estimate the availability, nutritional quality and degradability for Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray were estimated at different cutting age, in three seasons of the year. Metodology. Forage production and nutritional quality were measured every 14 d, from cutting to 84 d of age. Leaf and stem samples were taken to determine crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and the \"in situ\" degradability of dry leaf matter (DM). Results. Total DM production was similar in autumn and winter, and both were greater than for spring. In autumn, at 56 d and in winter at 70 d after cutting, DM production was 9 t ha-1, while in spring at 84 d it was close to 3 t ha-1. Crude protein content increased linearly with days after cutting. Implications. In autumn and winter, the highest percentages of NDF and ADF were observed. Plants at 42 d of regrowth had a lower percentage of ADF. Conclusions. The DM production and the nutritional quality of T. diversifolia differ according to the season of the year and the age of regrowth, at 42, 70 and 84 days of regrowth in autumn, winter and spring, respectively, under the agroecological conditions of the growing area. study, the best conditions for growth occur in Autumn. The DM degradability is similar between the ages of 42, 56 and 70 days of regrowth. However, harvesting plants at 42 days could sacrifice biomass yield at a very early age.","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140483233","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 need for water in Magetan Regency, Indonesia, continues to increase along with regional development. Objective. To identify the condition of the water balance and water critical index in Magetan Regency; and forming a regional development-based water management model in Magetan Regency. Methodology. Formation of a water management model based on regional development, both demographically and regional economic development (agriculture, livestock, fisheries, industry, and tourism), and the environment (river and lake maintenance). This study uses water availability data from seven watersheds. The water management model uses a dynamic system model, with an analysis coverage throughout the Magetan Regency area. The annual water balance of Magetan Regency shows that the water balance and water critical index of Magetan Regency are in near critical condition. Integrated water management is needed to avoid critical water conditions in Magetan Regency in the future. Results. Based on the results of model simulations with the application of policy simulations, the water balance in Magetan Regency during the period 2016 to 2030 is still in a near critical condition, but critical water conditions only occur during the 2018-2020 period. Implications. Critical water conditions in the future can be avoided by implementing policy scenarios. The policy scenarios include: (1) reforestation, planting 500,000 tree seedlings each year, (2) maintenance of rivers and lakes twice a year, (3) construction of a reservoir with a capacity of 5000 m3 each year. However, water availability is still fluctuating because the main factor for water availability is rainfall.

Methodology: In the supply area of the Santa Rosalia de la Chontalpa Sugar Mill (ISRCH), Tabasco, an experiment was established under rainfed conditions, during two cycles (plantilla and soca), with three cultivars (MEX69-290, MEX79-431 and CP72-2086), established in a eutric Fluvisol soil.
