Estimation of biomass allocation during crop cycle in two sweet potato varieties
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2018)
A quantitative approach to understand plant development is the analysis of growth through the monitoring of biomass allocation by determining parameters such as dry matter and foliar area over time, these variables allow to obtain derived measures such as growth rates that allow obtaining information on the state of the crop (Poorter et al., 2012; Pérez-Harguindeguy et al., 2013). Taking into account that the new ...
Influence of genotype and environment on quality attributes of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas Lam.)
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2018)
Sweetpotato is the fifteenth most important food crop, and third between roots and tubers crops worldwide. Sweet potato crop has the capacity to adapt to different environmental conditions, and expression of quality traits is highly influenced by variety and growth conditions. We evaluate the effect of these factors on quality attributes such as dry matter content (DMC), ash content (AC), crude fiber (CF), total protein ...
Selection of two sweet potato (Ipomea batatas Lam.) varieties adapted to the Caribbean coast of Colombia
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2017)
Sweet potato is an important crop used as energy source. Its adaptation to extreme temperatures has promoted its cultivation in the Caribbean region of Colombia. However, traditional technologies are still used resulting in an unprofitable crop system. Sweet potato crop has the capacity to adapt to different environmental conditions, it is an important feature to ensure human food security in vulnerable regions (Glato, 2017)
Incidencia de daño en follaje causado por crisomélidos en genotipos de batata en zonas del Caribe húmedo y seco colombiano
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2016)
Para el cultivo de batata se han reportado como plagas a los crisomélidos que se alimentan del follaje disminuyendo la capacidad fotosintética de la planta y por tanto la acumulación de sustancias de reserva en raíces del tubérculo. En Colombia, el cultivo de batata se está impulsando como una alternativa de diversi cación de los sistemas de producción actuales, por lo cual es un cultivo que requiere un mayor conocimiento ...
