In addition to radiometric data collection, digital photographs were taken to estimate aerial coverage using supervised classification methods. Approximately 15% of the measurement points were aerial biomass sampling. The relationship of vegetation index (NDVIcp, IVCP and β) to biomass and aerial cover were analyzed with a sampling scheme, establishing a relationship between these biophysical variables. Estimation of the biomass and vegetation cover in a faster way, allows estimating the condition, trend or production of natural vegetation in grasslands and scrublands, making it possible to make management decisions more efficiently and expedite. The model used to obtain biomass production in grassland and scrubland, through radiometric data and vegetation cover, considering that the processed data correspond to the linear phase of the vegetative growth stage, gives very good results for this type of vegetation (R2 = 0.98).","PeriodicalId":52301,"journal":{"name":"Terra Latinoamericana","volume":"5 1","pages":"247-257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87390309","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}

Degradation of hillside soil conditions is due, in most cases, to poor management, which diminishes soil productivity and its ability to sustain human life. Production of sediment and nutrient loss during 2013 was evaluated in agricultural systems representative of the periurban zone of the city of Puebla, Mexico, to weight the enrichment coefficient of these sediments, and thus identify the agricultural system that generates less fertility loss. Delimited plots 3 m wide and 9 m long with a homogeneous slope of 9% were installed in maize, maize-squash and maize-oats crop systems. The sediments were collected, and concentrations of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus were determined, as marked by NOM-021-SEMARNAT-2000. Sediment yield and runoff were significantly higher in maize (54.6 mm and 37.9 Mg ha‑1, respectively) and lower in maize-squash plots. The enrichment coefficients of the eroded sediments were mostly higher than one, and organic matter had the highest coefficients. There was a strong correlation between sediment production and losses of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus in agricultural systems. The results obtained demonstrate that the current management of agricultural crops in the study area favors soil degradation. Likewise, the results generated are an important basis for establishing agricultural strategies and reducing degraded areas of the rural periurban area of the city of Puebla, Mexico.","PeriodicalId":52301,"journal":{"name":"Terra Latinoamericana","volume":"206 1","pages":"229-235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89014458","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 use of high nitrogen fertilization on market roses, which surpasses 7000 kg ha-1, is excessive and affects soil health and the economy of the producers. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the current conditions of soil fertility in greenhouses that produce roses in Irrigation District 05 San Martin Texmelucan and (2) to study the effect of three sources of organic matter on the production, quality, and nutritional status of roses, and (3) to assess the physical condition of the treated soils. One hundred and twelve greenhouses located in four edaphoclimatic conditions were selected for the study. Soil samples were collected and their chemical properties evaluated to determine soil fertility. In a second experiment, three sources of organic matter (OM) were tested in one site: compost, cattle manure and chicken manure was applied on three varieties of rose: Anastasia, Selena and Latin. A modified completely randomized design was used. Number of stems/plant and stem length were measured, and analysis of variance and mean comparisons were performed. Soils had contrasting soil fertility properties. The quality of the roses increased with the three sources of OM three months after application but decreased in the ninth month. Chicken manure increased performance of the Anastasia variety and compost in the Selena variety. The OM sources increased the percentage of macroaggregates and the compost added to Anastasia and Selena produced the highest percentage. However, macronutrient concentrations in all rose plants were similar.","PeriodicalId":52301,"journal":{"name":"Terra Latinoamericana","volume":"31 1","pages":"237-246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82793170","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}

To achieve greater spatial distribution to capture solar radiation and produce dry matter (MS), the climbing ayocote needs trellises. Conventional trellises raise the cost of production, but ayocote can be grown using maize as a trellis. To increase grain yield, management of population density and topological arrangement have been used. This study was conducted in Montecillo, Mexico, in the spring-summer season of 2014 to determine how the number of ayocote bean plants and maize per hill affects biomass production, harvest index, and grain yield and its components. The nine treatments were the result of the combination of 1, 2 and 3 ayocote bean plants and 1, 2 and 3 maize plants per hill. We recorded days to each phenological stage, total biomass (TB), harvest index (HI), grain yield (GY) and yield components of both crops. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with four repetitions. The duration of the phenological phases of ayocote bean and maize were similar among treatments. In the association maize-ayocote the changes in the number of plants per hill of both crops affected TB, HI, GY and yield components of both ayocote bean and maize. In the agrosystem ayocote-maize, TB, GY and yield components are affected by the number of plants of bean ayocote and maize per hill.

Se ha observado que el suelo debajo de las islas de fertilidad muestra mejores condiciones de calidad y fertilidad en comparacion con el suelo de afuera. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar la calidad del suelo dentro y fuera de las islas de fertilidad, asi como contrastar propiedades fisicas y quimicas tanto del suelo interior como del exterior. Para esto se seleccionaron 25 islas de fertilidad de una terraza fluvial del valle de Zapotitlan, region semiarida de Tehuacan Puebla. En cada isla debajo del dosel del arbusto nodriza se tomaron tres muestras de suelo superf icial, fuera de la isla alrededor se levantaron otras tres procediendo de la misma manera.

Para el analisis de los datos se aplico la prueba de t-test Student para muestras independientes. No hubo diferencias signif icativas en el indice de calidad entre los suelos fuera y dentro de las islas de fertilidad, sin embargo a nivel de propiedades individuales como: arena, densidad aparente, materia organica, pH, magnesio, nitrogeno total y retencion de humedad si se presentaron diferencias signif icativas.

Soil and plants are the habitat of numerous fungi and bacteria. Farmers are highly vulnerable as they often sustain wounds contaminated by these microorganisms. In order to determine the number of natural colonies of fungi and actinomycetes that cause human subcutaneous infections, the respective microorganisms from soil and plants in 11 municipalities in the State of Puebla were isolated. Fifty samples from each municipality were taken, each consisting of 10 g of soil and 10 g of leaves of the nearest plant. Suspensions were prepared, inoculated on Sabouraud dextrose agar, incubated at 28 °C, and periodically examined to identify the microorganisms of interest based on their morphological characteristics. Of 1100 samples processed, 441 isolates were obtained, of which 281 were fungi (133 from soil and 148 from plants) and 160 were actinomycetes (96 from soil and 64 from plants). Fungi were identified by their macroscopic and microscopic morphology. Actinomycetes were identified by their macroscopic and microscopic morphology, and by biochemical tests. The main microorganisms isolated were agents of chromoblastomycosis (Fonsecaea pedrosoi and Cladophialophora verrucosa), followed by the agent of sporotrichosis (Sporothrix schenckii) and agents of actinomycetoma (Nocardia brasiliensis and N. otitidis-caviarum). The soil and plants from Cholula and Tecali de Herrera had the highest density of fungal isolates. From the soil and plants in Chignahuapan and Izucar de Matamoros the highest number of actinomycetes was obtained.
