Reubicación de enjambres de abejas de Apis mellifera en zonas urbanas y periurbanas

JOSÉ CHAVIER DE ARAUJO FREITAS (2023, [Artículo])

Hoy día podemos encontrar poblaciones silvestres de Apis mellifera de origen africanizado en todo el país, siendo además la abeja que la mayoría de los apicultores tienen en sus apiarios. Estas abejas africanizadas tuvieron su origen en un proceso de hibridación entre abejas africanizadas y europeas que ocurrió en México, pero que tuvo su origen en Brasil. Estos enjambres en zonas urbanas son un riesgo para la salud pública, ya que su presencia puede ocasionar accidentes y víctimas fatales, por lo cual es necesario saber qué hacer cuando se está ante la presencia de ellos.

Optimizing nitrogen fertilizer and planting density levels for maize production under current climate conditions in Northwest Ethiopian midlands

Kindie Tesfaye Dereje Ademe Enyew Adgo (2023, [Artículo])

This study determined the most effective plating density (PD) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate for well-adapted BH540 medium-maturing maize cultivars for current climate condition in north west Ethiopia midlands. The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT)-Crop Environment Resource Synthesis (CERES)-Maize model has been utilized to determine the appropriate PD and N-fertilizer rate. An experimental study of PD (55,555, 62500, and 76,900 plants ha−1) and N (138, 207, and 276 kg N ha−1) levels was conducted for 3 years at 4 distinct sites. The DSSAT-CERES-Maize model was calibrated using climate data from 1987 to 2018, physicochemical soil profiling data (wilting point, field capacity, saturation, saturated hydraulic conductivity, root growth factor, bulk density, soil texture, organic carbon, total nitrogen; and soil pH), and agronomic management data from the experiment. After calibration, the DSSAT-CERES-Maize model was able to simulate the phenology and growth parameters of maize in the evaluation data set. The results from analysis of variance revealed that the maximum observed and simulated grain yield, biomass, and leaf area index were recorded from 276 kg N ha−1 and 76,900 plants ha−1 for the BH540 maize variety under the current climate condition. The application of 76,900 plants ha−1 combined with 276 kg N ha−1 significantly increased observed and simulated yield by 25% and 15%, respectively, compared with recommendation. Finally, future research on different N and PD levels in various agroecological zones with different varieties of mature maize types could be conducted for the current and future climate periods.

Una breve pesquisa sobre Crossopetalum gaumeri (Celastraceae). To be, or not to be [endemic], that is the question

RODRIGO STEFANO DUNO DIEGO FRANCISCO ANGULO PEREZ GERMAN CARNEVALI FERNANDEZ CONCHA (2022, [Artículo])

A finales de abril del 2022, un [malvado] colega del herbario CICY informó que habíamos olvidado una especie endémica en nuestra última actualización de endemismo para la Provincia Biótica Península de Yucatán ¡Otra más! Después de algunas angustias y pesquisas sobre la planta, pensamos que era una excelente oportunidad para hablar de una hermosa (o al menos interesante) planta de la región y presentar el caso. Se trata de Crossopetalum gaumeri, de la familia Celastraceae.

Influence of novel coconut oil and beeswax edible coating and MAP on postharvest shelf life and quality attributes of lemon at low temperature

Mohammad Mainuddin Molla Ashfak Ahmed Sabuz Md Abdul Matin (2023, [Artículo])

Weight loss, turning of peel colour from green to yellow and microbial infections are the major postharvest problems of lemon. Lipid-based edible coatings and modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) are effective techniques in maintaining postharvest quality of fruits for long-term storage. With this view, an investigation was conducted for the preservation of green lemon using coconut oil and beeswax edible coating and MAP during storage at low temperature. Physiologically matured lemons were collected and washed with potable water; fruit surface water was removed and then coated with coconut oil-beeswax (90:10) or only coconut oil. After coating, lemons were packaged in MAP or kept in open crates and stored at 12±1 °C and 85±5% relative humidity (RH) for 8 weeks and a week interval, the sampling was conducted. The results revealed that coconut oil-beeswax coating had immense effect on retaining shiny green colour, reducing respiration, weight loss, shrivelling and preserving firmness and ascorbic acid of lemon throughout the storage. On the other hand, MAP mainly helped to retain moisture & firmness and reduce shrivelling. Uncoated lemons kept open lost the highest amount of ascorbic acid and retained only 13.7 mg/100 g that is significantly (p < 0.05) less than the lemons of all other treatments at 8th week of storage period. While lemons coated with coconut oil-beeswax and packaged in MAP was preserved the highest amount (24.2 mg/100 g) of ascorbic acid and there was no significant difference (p < 0.05) with the amount of ascorbic acid content of lemons coated with only coconut oil and packaged in MAP at the last week (8th week) of storage. Hue angle value was 93.4 in uncoated lemons packaged in MAP while it was 113.67 in coconut oil-beeswax coated lemon kept open and 112.64 in lemon coated with coconut oil-beeswax and packaged in MAP at 8th week of storage. Based on all sensory, physical and chemical parameters uncoated lemons kept open was acceptable up to 1 week, coconut oil-beeswax coated lemon kept open was 6 weeks and coconut oil-beeswax coated lemon packaged in MAP was 8 weeks with good quality and shiny green colour.

La diversidad funcional en el calichal yucateco: una estrategia que permite entender su riqueza desde una perspectiva ecológica

Mayte Aguilar RODRIGO STEFANO DUNO DIEGO FRANCISCO ANGULO PEREZ (2022, [Artículo])

La huella ecológica y el impacto de las acciones humanas han afectado gravemente los ecosistemas y estamos lejos de entender la complejidad que contienen, así como el papel de las especies que los integran. Este ensayo ilustra la diversidad funcional como una estrategia crítica a los estudios de biodiversidad, ya que nos permite entender la riqueza desde una perspectiva ecológica y evolutiva. Es urgente conocer nuestros ecosistemas para establecer estrategias de conservación eficaces, y la diversidad funcional representa una herramienta útil para lograr dicho objetivo.

Soil moisture content and maize grain yield under conventional and conservation agriculture practices - results of short term field tests in liselo, Namibia

Christian Thierfelder (2023, [Artículo])

This article focuses on the results from trials developed to monitor the short-term effects of conventionally tilled systems versus CA on soil quality and crop productivity under conditions of the major cropping systems in central, north-central and north-eastern regions of Namibia. Conventional tillage (CT), Minimum tillage (MT), Minimum tillage, mulch (MT-M), Minimum tillage, rotation (MT-R) and Minimum tillage, mulch and rotation (MT-MR) were the primary treatments tested. Significant differences (p≤0.000) among the treatments were observed in the 0-60 cm soil profiles where MT-M plots had the highest soil moisture content (39.8 mm, Standard Error of Mean 0.2815) over the study period. A significant difference (p=0.0206) in grain yield was observed in the second season with CT plots yielding the highest grain yield (3852.3 kg ha-1, standard error of mean 240.35). Results suggest that CA has the potential to increase water conservation and contribute to reduction of the risk of crop failure. Climate change driven degradation under conventional tillage necessitate alternative sustainable tillage methods. Conservation tillage methods and conservation agricultural practices that minimize soil disturbance while maintaining soil cover need to be adopted more locally as viable alternatives to conventional tillage.
