In developing countries, intercropping is commonly used to boost land productivity and agricultural benefits. However, in the Yucatan region of Mexico, maize (Zea mays L.) yields remain low, despite consistent fertilizer pesticide inputs traditional systems. Furthermore, little known about photosynthetic mechanisms that occur when plants interact with legumes, there a lack understanding how systems affect other organisms system, such as beneficial insect pest population dynamics. A field...
Intercropping is extensively used to increase land productivity and agricultural benefits. In developing countries, intercropping has historically been one of the most widely cropping systems. Crop models have assess risk over time space, particularly in monocropping models, such as Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), improve crop growth, development, yield predictions; however, this model some limitations when assessing interspecific competition systems (e.g., it...
Abstract In recent years, nitrate leaching and environmental impacts from agriculture have become global issues, due in part to the increased use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers agriculture. Yucatan Peninsula, intercropping is a traditional farming practice known as “Milpa” system (i.e., characterized by simultaneous cultivation maize [ Zea mays L.], beans Phaseolus spp.], squash Cucurbita spp.] same field). A field experiment was carried out region determine effect maize–legume systems on...
This review was conducted to synthesize current knowledge, learn producer and Extension specialist perspectives, identify gaps in understanding of the role soil health sustaining production high tunnel (HT) systems. synthesis includes findings from scholarly resources related HTs, including research Extension-based literature, perspectives experienced HT producers technical assistance providers, direct observations a broad network university personnel working with HTs. Findings are intended...
Intercropping constitutes the traditional farming system practice used in various forms for maize production Yucatan peninsula. Although practiced centuries, problems persist with competition water, nutrients and light between crop species systems. Furthermore, little is known about farmers’ perceptions regarding changes to maize-legume intercropping systems their interest novel adoption increase yields while maintaining practice. The objective of this study was investigate maize-based...
This work was carried out to evaluate the insecticidal effect of mono, bi and trimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) from leaf extract habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) on red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum herbst.)and cotton mealybug (Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley).The results showed that Cu NPs, Cu/Mn NPs Zn/Cu had high against T. (63%-80% mortality after 96 h).The also P. solenopsis, but a lesser extent (20%-28% h).With regards physicochemical characterization, zeta potential 21.1...
Tithonia diversifolia has the potential for use as a reservoir entomophages in pest control, it attracts and preserves natural enemies before migrating to target crop, where high incidence of pests occurs. For example, tomato crop production one limiting factors, under field condition, is phytophagous insects. We determined effects on species assemblage structure insects (abundance diversity), plant growth (leaf area, stem length diameter, number leaves, flowers fruits, fruits weight/per...
We assessed the emergence, growth, phenotypic plasticity and quality of both landrace commercial tomato fruits under conditions elevated temperature increased CO2 concentrations [CO2]. Four growth chambers were used in which [CO2] differed: LTLC (30 °C, 400 µmol mol−1), LTHC 1200 HTLC (40 mol−1) HTHC mol−1). The acronyms indicate following: LT, low temperature; HT, high LC, [CO2]; HC, Elevated temperatures significantly affected emergence genotypes, with rate decreasing below 35% at HT...
