El crecimiento y producción de enzimas del hongo anaeróbico Neocallimastix frontalis NFT 101, aislado del rumen de un ovino de un ecosistema tropical fue evaluado en un rango de fuentes de carbono y variando la forma de inoculación (estados mótil y vegetativo). Cuando se usó una suspensión de zoosporas (estado mótil) como inóculo, el hongo creció sobre xilosa, carboximetilcelulosa, celulosa en polvo, algodón, papel de ...

sumarios (En, Es)Esta investigación evaluó el efecto de la doble inoculación de bacterias rizobiales, Entrophospora colombiana y Glomus sp. sobre la producción y calidad de forraje de Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de Wit a los 30, 60, 90 y 120 días después de la germinación. A tal fin se evaluaron variables agronómicas, microbiológicas y de composición química. El tratamiento (T9) en el que se inocularon consecutivamente ...

Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la respuesta productiva y económica de la suplementación de vacas doble propósito en pastoreo de Angleton (Dichanthium aristatum) con ensilaje de millo (Sorghum vulgare) más urea-melaza-azufre, semilla de algodón y harina de pescado en la estación seca en el Valle del Sinú (Colombia). A tal fin se utilizaron 12 vacas Holstein × Cebú en el primer tercio de lactancia, distribuidas ...

In the Sinu Valley region (Cordoba, Colombia), 12 dual purpose Holstein × Cebú cows in the first third of lactation were used to evaluate the response of supplementation sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) silage mixed with urea-molasses-sulfur, whole cottonseed and fish meal on milk yield over 60 days period. Treatments were: T1 = silage-0.100 kg of urea-0.250 kg of molasses and 0.004 kg of sulfur. T2 = silage-1.5 kg of ...

Identification of papaya sex can only be done four months after transplanting. The possibility of earlier sex identification either with isoenzymatic patterns or physical seed traits were evaluated in two commercial seeds: the hybrid Tainung 1 and Improved Sunrise Solo 72/12 four experiments were carried out in the Lavras municipality, Minas Gerais (Brazil). The first two experiments evaluated the relationship of seed ...

Maize is an important crop in the well drained savannas in the Colombian eastern planes (known as ‘Llanos Orientales’) because of its economical potential in the balanced feed industry for livestock. However, insects like the brown stinkbug, Euschistus rufimanus (Hemiptera : Pentatomidae), is among the entomological problems that can seriously affect this crop. It causes malformation and decrease of leaf area index on ...

We describe the development of expressed sequence tags - simple sequence repeats (ESTSSRs) or genetic microsatellites of camu-camu, a small round native fruit of the Amazon rain forest, which that has the highest known amount of natural vitamin C of any plant. Two thousand sequences from a camu-camu ESTs library were analyzed and 219 ESTSSRs were selected for the development of SSRs markers, of which 74.2% were ...

In a degraded pasture of the Piedmont of the eastern plains of Colombia, the corn hybrid ‘Master’ was simultaneously established in association with the hybrid grasses Brachiaria cv. ‘Mulato 1’, Brachiaria brizantha cv. ‘Toledo’, andBrachiaria decumbens. Two N rates (100 and 200 kg·ha-1) were evaluated in the development and production of corn grain and grass biomass. N was applied to corn rows 15 and 35 days after the ...

The absence of economically competitive alternative technologies for the preservation of pitahaya fruits has slowed the development of this fruit agrochain in the country. Colombia is one of the main pitahaya producers but with a minimal market share. Post harvest management deficiencies are reflected in a short shelf life, significant postharvest losses and a wide price fluctuation, which limits the agrochain growth ...

The lack of postharvest alternatives to maintain pitahaya quality is partly responsible for the technological limitations to better position the fruit for international commercialization. Cold temperatures from harvest to the consumer are the best option for quality assurance but it is not economically attractive because of the high cost of refrigeration. A prototype storage system suited for the pitahaya producers was ...
