The production of quality seedlings is essential for optimal growth and good crop yields during transplantation; therefore, the objective of the present investigation was to determine the effect of bacteria that promote plant growth and the management of nutrition in the physiology and growth of serrano pepper seedlings. Under greenhouse conditions...
The delineation of management zones is based on the spatial behavior of a few soil variables selected and evaluated previously and usually not correlated in situ with yield. Since the soil-plant system is multivariate, the analysis of its complexity requires statistical tools of equal size. These tools are convenient in providing an intuitive inter...
Homemade foliar fertilizers are an efficient fertilization tool, especially in productive systems that are managed under agroecological approaches. Some advantages of these fertilizers are that their preparation does not require sophisticated equipment, specialized training or expensive materials. There is a great variety of homemade foliar fertili...
ABSTRACT The residual sludge is a contaminating waste, coming from the urban waste treatment process. Its final disposal can become a problem when it is discarded incorrectly, generating serious environmental and health problems. However, it has a high content of organic matter, macro and micronutrients, and can be used in forest plantations as a f...
RESUMEN En el estado de Coahuila, México, se reportaron pérdidas económicas por rajado del fruto (RF) en nogal pecanero, probablemente relacionadas con carencias nutrimentales. Considerando lo anterior se evaluó la ocurrencia del RF en respuesta a fertilizaciones foliares en cultivares Wichita y Western. Para ello, se aplicaron macronutrimentos, mi...
Zeolite-clinoptilolite is a hydrated aluminosilicate, which belongs to a group of minerals of volcanic origin and possesses interesting agricultural properties. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of zeolite-clinoptilolite on Solanum lycopersicum Mill. seedling growth, when supplied to substrate in pot culture. An assay was set to tes...
The demand of organic products derived of aloe leaf is increasing. The objective of this study was to evaluate different sources and dosages of biofertilizers on growing of aloe leaf and gel quality. Random block design was used, using humic acids: (0, 54 and 108 L ha-1), and (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) of vermicompost. The aloe leaf thickness was higher ...
The Agave potatorum Zucc, is a wild species collected in the field to produce a distilled beverage called mezcal, and not enough is known about their agronomic management and nutritional needs. The aim of the research was to evaluate breeding ground for five months in the development of micropropagated-acclimatized plants Agave potatorum Zucc which...
Phosphorus is absorbed by plants in the form of phosphates and phosphites. Both of them cause different effects on plants although they have great similarity in their structures. The objective of this study was to conduct a critical review of the importance of phosphates and phosphites in crop nutrition. Phosphate is an essential nutrient that perf...
The low efficiency of fertilizer use in agricultural soils negatively impacts productivity and sustainability of production systems. Rates of apparent physiological efficiency (EFA) were calculated regarding different fertilization treatments on the soil for hybrid H-47 and H-59. The EFA of a nutrient is the ratio of grain harvested in kg per kg of...
