The intensive utilization of native taxa has depleted their genetic species pool, making them increasingly scarce in meeting the rising demand for wood. Consequently, there has been a growing exploration of new fast-growing forest species to serve as alternatives for lumber and biomass production. Objective: To assess the suitability of Andean bioclimatic conditions for the introduction of three tree species: Paulownia elongata, P. fortunei, and the hybrid P. elongata x P. fortunei. This work primarily focused in investigating whether plant density impacts the initial growth of individual tree growth and whether there is a co-dependence between site conditions and plant density in each of the three species. Methodology: The National Autonomous Institute of Farming Research (INIAP) imported 3000 seedlings, each about 10cm tall, of Paulownia elongata, Paulownia fortunei, and the hybrid Paulownia elongata x Paulownia fortunei from the World Paulownia Institute of Georgia - USA. Four experimental sites were selected in two regions of Ecuador: humid tropics (Quevedo and Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas), dry sub-peak (el Almendral) and Andes (Riobamba), each site is located at different altitudes. At each site, the experiment was set up in a spatial split-plot arrangement with randomized complete blocks. Three blocks were established, two planting frames (3x3 m and 4x4 m) and the three selected Paulownia species. The three blocks were laid off randomly in each experiment. The two planting frames were randomly placed within each block, and the three species were randomly planted within each planting frame. The experimental subjects (plant species) consisted of nine individuals. Results: Plants with higher height and diameter are located in areas with lower elevation, with hybrid Paulownia displaying better performance in high densities. All species showed a survival rate above 85% one-year post-establishment. However, the lowest survival is found in areas above 2000 m. Implications: High elevations restrict the individual growth of Paulownia in Andean conditions, but low altitudes enhance it. Conclusion: The three specimens performed reasonably well during one-year post-establishment. However, it is necessary to continue observing their growth until they reach their asymptotic point, determining their volumetric yield.","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139284980","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}

Ardisia compressa Kunth, is a wild species native from tropical evergreen forests of Mexico, it produces fruits with phytochemical, ecological and dietary potencial. Its fruits are appreciated by people from local communities. However, in Mexico there are no studies that allow knowing the state of its phenotypic diversity. Objective. Characterize the morphological diversity of A. compressa populations from Chiapas state, Mexico. Methodology. Ninety individuals of nine wild populations of A. compressa were evaluated using 45 morphological traits (16 qualitative and 29 quantitative). The qualitative data were subjected to descriptive analysis and quantitative data were used in an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and finally the qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed simultaneously by means of a multivariate analysis with the Ward-MLM Method. Results. The qualitative traits showed phenotypic variability in the characteristics of leaf and fruit color. The quantitative data showed significant differences (P≤ 0.05) in all traits evaluated. The results of the principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (UPGMA) grouped the populations into three morphological groups differentiated by the similarity of the morphological traits of the populations and not by their geographical origin. Implications. The results in this study should be considered to implementing strategies of plant production and conservation of A. compressa. Conclusion. A wide phenotypic variability was found organized into three morphological groups defined base on characteristics of tree height, number of fruits, number of flowers and ratio of length to thickness leaf. The quantitative traits allowed us to observe the greatest morphological variability in the populations of A. compressa.","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139287400","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, some factors such as climate change, africanization and various pathological processes, including the presence of the Varroa destructor mite, have led to a decline in A. mellifera populations. Objective: To collect scientific information on the plants used for mite control, as well as the organic derivatives and secondary compounds with bioacaricidal potential used for such control. Main findings: Due to the fact that infestations of this mite have become a major problem, numerous control methods have been developed and tested, mainly based on synthetic acaricides; however, these have generated disadvantages such as the development of resistance and contamination of products such as honey and pollen. Implications: Therefore, it is necessary to implement an organic, environmentally friendly control method that reduces mite populations without developing resistance, and that does not generate contamination of hive sub-products. Conclusions: In general, the most common types of extracts tested were essential oils and hydroalcoholic extracts, which reported mortality ranging from 26.4 to 99.5% on V. destructor. Likewise, some species of plants endemic to Matorral Espinoso Tamaulipeco (MET) have been tested against other arthropods and that could be an important source of components that act as acaricides; however, it is necessary to identify and analyze the secondary compounds, as well as the molecules and their activity on V. destructor.","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139290201","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}

High in condensed tannins and other secondary compounds, SL has potential as an anti-parasitic nutraceutical forage for sheep and goats in this region and throughout the world where it is adapted. Objectives: To summarize the nearly 20 years’ work of the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC) related to the anti-parasitic properties of SL in the diet of small ruminants. Results: In a series of experiments with goats and sheep fed SL in fresh (grazed), dried (hay, leaf meal, pellets) or preserved (ensiled) forms, this forage showed promising anti-parasitic efficacy against GIN, particularly Haemonchus contortus, and coccidia (Eimeria spp.), lowering gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) fecal egg counts (FEC), coccidial fecal oocyst counts (FOC), and reducing GIN larval development and worm burdens. Implications: These results indicate the potential of SL as a component of integrated, novel (non-chemical) parasite management programs for on-farm application by small ruminant producers. Conclusions: Sericea lespedeza has very good anti-parasitic activity against GIN and coccidial infection in sheep and goats and has excellent potential as a nutraceutical forage for small ruminant producers, either for their own use or for sale as nutraceutical hay or pellets.","PeriodicalId":23259,"journal":{"name":"Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139290844","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}
