Citrus fruits have a high sensitivity to saline water, which reduce their productivity and the quality of the fruit. This study evaluates the effect of Optimus ®, an inducer of resistance to salinity based on phosphopeptides, on the quality of fruits Citrus reticulata L cv Orogrande and Citrus lemon l. cv Verna, irrigated with water of a high conductivity.

Different trap alternatives have been tested to strengthen the national program against fruit flies in México, contributing to propose of a new trap design and a more efficient method, with rational use of resources and environmental protection. The effectiveness of bait station MS2® combined with Cera Trap® attractant was tested with respect to other treatments on grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf. var. Blanca), in the Cañadas Community, Martínez de la Torre Municipality, Veracruz State...

The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the shikimate pathway of the synthesis of amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, andtryptophan. However, much uncertainty remains concerning precisely how glyphosate kills plants or affects cellular redoxhomeostasis and related processes in glyphosate-sensitive and glyphosate-resistant crop plants. To address this issue, weperformed an integrated study of photosynthesis, leaf proteomes, amino acid profiles, and redox profiles in the glyphosatesensitive...

This paper reports on progress and innovations recently introduced at the National Programme of Fruit Flies in Mexico. It offers data about analternative for catch of especially the fruit flies Anastrepha spp., using together with the bait station MS2® and the efficient attractant CeraTrap®,which decreases the rates of MTD (flies/trap/day) in four weeks. New method was considered an environmentally friendly alternative with lessinjurious effects on beneficial fauna by reduced insecticide a...
