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.

Problem In protected vegetable systems of the Mediterranean area, having bare soil for several weeks in late summer, post cash crop harvest, may induce soil degradation. Providing a soil cover in any period is key to preserve the soil's biological activity and maintain good agronomic conditions (e.g. soil structure) for the...

Cadmium (Cd) is a non-nutritive element present across the earth. In cacao crops from South America, Cd has become one of the biggest challenges due to its flux from soils, and due to the enriched content of this metal, it makes its way into the beans and finally affects the...

Lo recomendable es fermentar en cajones de madera, ya que estos aíslan la masa de la temperatura externa. La masa se deja en reposo durante 48 horas, y una vez supere los 30°C, se procede a voltearla de manera sucesiva. Se potencializan los precursores de sabor y aroma necesarios para...

Biosolarization provides a sustainable, organic method to soil disinfection and control of nematodes, phytoparasitic fungi and weeds in preparation for crop planting. The high temperatures that are produced during the decomposition process in addition to solar radiation create an effect that controls pathogenic microorganisms in the soil. In applying and...

When farmers have limited access to arable land and soils are poor, limiting soil erosion can make the difference between harvesting a crop or nothing at all. Soils are indeed at the core of any crop production system. Without a healthy soil, crops cannot thrive. While measuring the effect of soil...
