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. The information obtained shall be useful for vegetable growers to apply phytosanitary measures in alternate hosts, combat reservoirs and avoid re-infestations of the pest.\u0000","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88544173","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}

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":"158 1","pages":""},"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}

A spatial equilibrium model was formulated and validated, considering fixed supply and functions of demand. The 2019 results show that the total demand for water from municipalities in residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and livestock sectors were 197.2, 21.7, 16.7, 758 and 5.7 hm3, with Tijuana standing out in the first three sectors, whereas Mexicali and SLRC were highlighted in the farming sector. Regarding the water price, the Tijuana, Tecate, and Ensenada municipalities pay a high tariff for its use, whereas Mexicali and SLRC pay the lowest tariffs. A 10 % reduction in water availability would be achieved if the price in the agricultural sector in Mexicali and SLRC increased by 20 and 22 %, respectively, over the base price.

Sixteen genotypes of different origins and characteristics were evaluated in three environments in the localities of Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala; and Santa Lucía de Prías, Texcoco, State of Mexico. Statistical differences (p ≤ 0.05) were found for genotypes. Late genotypes Suyana, Suma, Pata de Venado, Blanca Ayacucho, and Huauzontle showed higher grain yield (4004.9, 3888.3, 3091.1, 2999.7, and 2967.2 kg ha-1, respectively). Among the intermediate genotypes, Tokio rosa and Pasankalla reventona were the better with 2858.4 and 2118.4 kg ha-1, respectively. Whereas among the early genotypes, Tarpuna had the highest grain yield (3005.8 kg ha-1). Regarding seed diameter, only Huauzontle and Quinoa negra had a seed size equal to or smaller than 1.8 mm; the rest of the genotypes can be marketed as grains because of their seed size. Of the environments evaluated, the least favourable was Nanacamilpa 2019, while Santa Lucía de Prías 2019 was the most favourable environment. Overall, the performance of the evaluated genotypes was as expected, as they mostly come from the Inter-Andean Valleys region, which are very similar in altitude and temperature to the Central high-valley lands of Mexico.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75468444","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":"79 1","pages":""},"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}

This research conducted an online survey of 166 consumers living in Gümüşhane province in Turkey. Binary logistic regression analysis method was used to identify the factors affecting the probability of consuming products with GI labels. 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. The results of this study also tell us that the market share of these products can be increased by improving the consumer perception towards geographically indicated products.

This research analysed the microbiological quality of green leafy vegetable crops: spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), grown in the valley of Toluca. The presence of microorganisms indicating microbiological contamination (mesophilic bacteria, total coliforms, faecal coliforms and Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Listeria) was evaluated in plants, water and soil. Sampling, processing, isolation and bacterial identification were performed in accordance with Mexican Official Standards and the FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual. The recovered bacteria were subjected to biochemical tests, serotyping and PCR. Microbial counts were present in 100 % of the samples tested. The spinach culture had higher recovery of mesophilic bacteria and total coliforms, while the lettuce culture presented higher values for the faecal coliform group. The results indicated higher microbiological contamination in water and soil > 250 CFU for mesophilic bacteria, total coliforms and faecal coliforms, respectively. The microbiological counts of the three cultures were found within the maximum limits established by Mexican regulations. However, the presence of faecal coliforms, which included E. coli bacteria of serotype O105 ab flagellar, compromises the quality of the product and poses a risk to the health of the consumer.","PeriodicalId":50836,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73553741","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}
