In the management of a topbar hive (TBH), an essential step is the application of starter strips on the top bars, from which the bees will build their combs. These starter strips guide the bees to build their combs nicely down from the top bars. This will allow the beekeeper...

This practice explains what a dzud is, the condition, and the impact of dzud events on local herding communities in Mongolia. It further highlights the importance of Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) systems to anticipate and mitigate dzuds' impacts and support herders to protect their livelihoods from the event. EWEA –...

Background: Diseases transmitted by invasive Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are major public health issues in the tropics and subtropics. Understanding the ecology of mosquito vectors is essential for the development of effective disease mitigation programs and will allow for accurate predictions of vector occurrence and abundance. Studies that...

Population growth, rapid urbanization and dietary changes have resulted in growing global demand for livestock products, with a negative impact on climate change. Increasing temperatures, increased climate variability, and more frequent and severe extreme weather events are all threatening livestock production systems. The livestock sector is a major contributor to climate...

The necrotic streak of the fique (Furcraea spp.) or “Macana” disease is considered the most limiting disease for this crop in Colombia, whose causal agent is the Furcraea Necrotic Streak Virus - FSNV (RNA +). Currently, there are no strategies to control the disease, being necessary to develop methods for...

Un pressoir à miel est un outil qui permet à l'apiculteur d'extraire le miel plusieurs rayons à la fois. Le modèle de presse à miel présenté ici est un modèle basique qui peut être facilement fabriqué localement car il ne nécessite que du bois, un seau en plastique, des vis...

Clorosis generalizada. - Reducción del tamaño de racimos. - Hojas salen de un mismo plano (roseta). - Disminución tamaño de planta Necrosis en forma de sierra en los bordes de hojas viejas. - Coloración rojiza de peciolos y seudotallo. - Poco desarrollo radical.

Gastrointestinal nematodes cause serious economic losses in sheep production systems. To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with these parasites, a study was conducted in 595 sheep in Córdoba, Colombia. Prevalence and parasite burden were determined using the McMaster technique. Larvae were cultured from feces to identify the nematode...

Esta tecnología explica el cruce de dos clones con el fin de obtener una semilla mejorada de cacao. Su aplicación es sencilla, pero al mismo tiempo la adopción de nuevas y mejores alternativas de producción obliga a los productores a capacitarse para implementar eficientemente estas nuevas tecnologías.

La cantidad de nutrientes depende del contenido en el análisis de suelo. Aplicar el fertilizante a 25 cm del seudotallo, en forma circular en terrenos planos y en la parte superior en pendientes. Aplicación de enmiendas antes de la siembra: cal dolomita y yeso agrícola en suelos ácidos. Fertilización orgánica...

Beekeeping with Apis cerana using traditional log hives often leads to the destruction of the colony during honey harvesting because the combs are destroyed in the harvesting process and bees cannot survive. The introduction of a wooden cross in the middle of the traditional log hive can solve this problem. This practice...

Soils are the foundation of our terrestrial ecosystems and soil health is crucial to global food production. In this short video interview with Marc-André Selosse, botanist and mycologist, professor at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, let's discover this complex underground ecosystem on which we depend to feed...

Contextualización: los cítricos son una de las especies arbóreas más cultivadas en todo el mundo. Poseen una gran importancia económica por su producción es mayor a cualquier otro frutal. Vacío de conocimiento: pese a la gran demanda de cítricos en Colombia, se conoce muy poco acerca del origen y la diversidad...

The negative impact of industrial livestock farming on animal health and welfare, but also on human health, ecosystems and the environment is indisputable and no longer needs to be demonstrated. Agroecology, on the other hand, makes it possible to reconfigure livestock systems and reintegrate them into agro-ecosystems in order to...

The characteristics of agricultural products are influenced by biotic and abiotic factors, producing physiological responses in the plant and physicochemical properties in the fruits that are the basis for designations of origin and value-adding strategies in the current market. In the present work, ten cacao materials (Theobroma cacao L.) selected...

La hipercetonemia es una de las condiciones metabólicas más frecuentes y costosas que afectan la industria lechera. Se define por las elevadas concentraciones de cuerpos cetónicos (Beta-hidroxibutirato (ßHB o BHB), Aceto-acetato y Acetona (Ac)) circulantes (Coburn et al, 2017, Huertas-Molina et al, 2020b) y es causada por un desbalance energético...
