In this regard, two experiments were conducted to assess the effect of inoculation with beneficial microorganisms: rhizobacteria (B), mycorrhizae, and (M) rhizobacteria-mycorrhizae consortium (B+M) compared to the control (uninoculated plants: C) on Vetch/Oat/Triticale intercropping system. \u0000Growth, physiologicals traits, forage yield and qualities were determined at two harvesting periods (74 and 142 days after seeding: DAS). Overall, the different studied intercrops varied in term of inoculations effect. Mycorrhizal inoculation had a significantly positive effect on SPAD, total nitrogen and leaf to stem ratio for vetch, Oat and Triticale, respectively. Bacteria inoculation promoted leaf area and plant height for Vetch and Oat crops and only plant height for Triticale. The dual bacteria and mycorrhizae inoculum improved significantly the yield dry matter (YDM) by 41.2% ensuring an increase of 2.1 and 1.67 tons/ha at 74 and 142 DAS respectively, compared to control treatment.

The objective of this research was to determine the effect of water quality and soil salinity on rice production in the sub-basin of the Yaguachi River, Ecuador. For this purpose, 99 soil samples were georeferenced and analysed over an area of 19 027 ha, as well as water samples representative of the area under study. Soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) maps were produced and a regression analysis between EC and rice yield was performed on 34 producer plots. The predominant texture of the soils was found to be clayey, with an average pH of 6.73; The 38.4 % of the samples had an EC between 3.8 and 7.1 dS m-1. Rice yield gradually decreased as it was grown in soils with higher salinity and 26.81 % of the yield loss was found to be attributed to the increase in EC. The salinity of the irrigation water and other quality indicators such as the percentage of soluble sodium (Na+) and the sodium adsorption ratio (RAS) classified the water as severely restricted for use. However, given that crop yields did not show as drastic a reduction as expected, it can be said that the rice plant responds to the conditions of the canton of San Jacinto de Yaguachi as moderately tolerant to salinity.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79530659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the study was to determine the yield potential of intervarietal crosses of yellow maize in environments of high-valley lands in central Mexico, as well as the components that influence yield under the hypothesis that intervarietal crosses are equal in yield to conventional hybrids. Crosses, open-pollinated parental varieties and commercial controls were evaluated in a randomized complete block design. Fifteen agronomic variables and yield components were measured. A combined analysis of variance and comparison of means (Tukey, p ≤ 0.05) were applied, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated. The analysis of variance detected statistical differences in all the factors of variation in most of the evaluated variables. The intervarietal crosses performed statistically equal to the controls but superior to the parents. The crosses excelled in ear diameter and ear length, total weight of grains in the ear, 100-grain weight, grain length, grain width, plant height, ear height, shelling corn coefficient and prolificacy index. In 23 crosses, the genotype × environment interaction effect was not significant. Intervarietal crosses have yield potential compared to conventional hybrids. Ear and grain traits had the greatest influence on yield. Intervarietal crosses represent an alternative to increase yield and production of yellow maize in the high-valley lands of central Mexico.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83972491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can develop not only in Opuntia species but also in other cacti and members of the Asparagaceae family. In 2017, damage and presence of adult insects with characteristics similar to the cactus weevil were reported in two species of cacti, Austrocylindropuntia subulata and Peniocereus serpentinus. The objective was to identify the insect and determine if the two cacti species are hosts, field and laboratory research was conducted from 2017 to 2019 in the municipality of Axapusco, State of Mexico. Stems with larval damage were selected at four study sites, whic remained in field conditions until the emergence of adult insects. The behaviour of M. spinolae on the host plant, mating sites, incubation period and damage development over time were recorded. M. spinolae was identified and determined to fulfill its life cycle on A. subulata and P. serpentinus. Larvae cause the most damage by feeding on the internal part (pith) of the stems, which causes tissue rotting and death of the affected part. The adult feeds on tender buds and mature stems, causing deformation and weakening of the plant. The two cacti species proved to be host plants that can harbour populations of M. spinolae and, therefore, have a high potential to act as reservoirs of the pest, which can then migrate to prickly-pear cactus crop. This report expands the knowledge of hosts of the cactus weevil.

In order to establish the basis to guide genetic improvement in Mexico, the objective was to determine the genetic variability, heritability and interrelationships of yield and its components in 16 quinoa genotypes, in a randomized complete block design, in six environments in the central high valleys of Mexico. The proportion of participation of the sources of variation genetic, environmental, and genotype × environment interaction was determined; as well as heritability, response to selection, and phenotypic correlations among morphological characters, yield and its components. Out of 15 variables evaluated, the genetic effects on thousand-grains weight and grain filling period were the most important; whereas for plant height at flowering, harvest index, and stem diameter, environmental effects were the most relevant. The genotype × environment interaction is not greater than 20 % for the 15 variables evaluated. The highest values for additive variance, heritability, and response to selection were for grains per square meter, yield, thousand-grains weight, grain filling period, and panicle emergence. The variables stem diameter, plant height at maturity, grains per square meter, yield per day, grain filling period, and panicle emergence were the most correlated with yield. Therefore, they can be used as indirect yield selection criteria in breeding programs to obtain materials with better agronomic characteristics. Based on the genetic parameters obtained and the association of the variables with yield, grains per square meter, yield per day and plant height at maturity are the most appropriate traits for indirect selection for yield.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75405080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to integrate a systematic review of the information on the deep litter pig production system (SPCCP) as an environmentally sustainable alternative for small farmers in Mexico. The SPCCP uses a layer of absorbent organic matter on which the animals are kept. This technology is considered economical to implement, as it requires less infrastructure. The height of the bedding that favours the transformation of organic matter is 50 to 60 cm. Agricultural by-products such as plant debris or stubble can be used for bedding. The productive parameters of pigs in deep litter (CP) are adequate, with lower labour costs, and the animals have more time to eat, drink and play, which improves animal welfare. The product obtained from the deep bed at the end of the productive cycle has desirable properties to regenerate degraded soils or to enrich soils and can be used in agricultural crops. The SPCCP is simple and efficient, the infrastructure and equipment required are more economical; this production system improves feed conversion and daily weight gain, and benefits animal health and comfort. Since this system does not require washing the sheds, it reduces labour, as well as water needs, and does not generate wastewater. Therefore, the SPCCP complies with technical, financial, environmental, and animal welfare characteristics; it is an alternative for small backyard producers.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84115487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model results show that middle-aged, married, middle-income and consumers who correctly perceive the concept of geographical indication products are more likely to consume products with GI labels. According to the logistic regression results, the increase in consumers' level of correct perception of the product notion with GI label increases the probability of consuming products with GI label 2.5 times.
