The creation of new productive systems and the obtaining of new varieties, better adapted, are helping the expansion of the almond cultivation. In addition, biotechnological advances are allowing the development of plant regulators to increase production. In this study, we analyzed the effect of the biostimulant Equilibrium® (Bioiberica) on the weight of the mesocarp, shell and seed of the almond fruit. For this, cultivar ‘Penta’ was used in five farms with different characteristic...

Crop biostimulation is increasingly emerging as a necessary complement for plant stress management and yield optimization in integrated and sustainable agriculture programs. Likewise, the use of remote sensing as a diagnostic and decision-making tool in olive groves has also been established within the framework of precision agriculture.

In the past 10 years, coffee production in Guatemala has been affected by the Mediterranean fruit fly that accelerates the fruit ripening process, resulting in early bean drop and less commercial quality. Reports have offered a new alternative for monitoring flies. In a trial in the municipality of Acatenango, Chimaltenango, Guatemala, the biological effectiveness of Pet bottles baited with Cera Trap®® attractant, compared with ground sprays of GF-120 (Spinosad), were evaluated for massive...

One of the limitations that have been presented in the cultivation of coffee in the Central American region have been climatic variables, in which high temperatures, together with ultraviolet light levels, as well as rainfall and its intensity, have caused serious problems for the development of the crop. There are physiological imbalances that cause losses in stimulation and flower setting, reaching losses of more than 60% depending on the variety. The objective of this work was to evaluate...

Despite management programs and control systems established to date in citrus for fruit flies, it remains a major phytosanitary problem for orange crop in Mexico, mainly due to lack of viable alternatives and economic conditions for small farmers. In this experiment, a higher incidence of Anastrepha ludens was detected, followed by A. obliqua and in less quantity A. striata. The trap-attractant binomial with best capture effectiveness was Ceratrap-PET, followed by Ceratrap-Multilure. The fem...
