Evaluation of plant species for use in the control of acid sulfated soils in Paipa, BoyacáEvaluación de especies vegetales para el manejo de la acidez en suelos sulfatados ácidos de Paipa, Boyacá
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2014)
Acid sulfated soils are characterized by high amounts of iron and sulfur, which in presence of air are oxidized and form sulfuric horizons extremely acidic, generating environmental changes ranging from water pollution to problems associated with fertility and crop production, among others. This research was conducted in order to identify suitable plant species to control the acidity of these soils in the town of Paipa, ...
Reproductive phenology, floral biology and flower visitors in mango (Mangifera indica L.) crop Hilacha and Tommy Atkins cultivars in the Upper Magdalena Valley (Colombia)Fenología reproductiva, biología floral y visitantes florales en los cultivares de mango (Mangifera indica L.) Hilacha y Tommy Atkins en el valle del alto Magdalena (Colombia).
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2010)
In order to advance the knowledge of the mango's reproductive biology in tropical environmental conditions; phenological development, morphological characterization, anthesis, grain pollen description and floral visitors were assessed in the mango cultivars Hilacha and Tommy Atkins in the Upper Magdalena Valley region (Colombia). Results showed that these cultivars did not differ in their phenological development from ...
Methodology for the disinfection and germination of spores and fragments of roots inoculated with Glomus sp. (GEV02) for use under in vitro conditionsMetodología para la desinfección y germinación de esporas y fragmentos de raíces micorrizados con Glomus sp. (GEV02) para su uso bajo condiciones in vitro
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2011)
Surface disinfection and germination of propagules, used in inoculants based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), are a requirement of utmost importance for the successful establishment of symbiosis under in vitro conditions. This study assessed a protocol to establish a method of disinfection and germination of spores and root fragments with vesicles of the AMF Glomus sp. (GEV02) under in vitro conditions. The Glomus ...
Dancy mandarin: a new alternative for citrus growing in the piedmont plains of ColombiaMandarina Dancy: una nueva alternativa para la citricultura

Simulation arrangements cocoa agroforestry as a diagnosis and planning strategy for producersSimulación de arreglos agroforestales de cacao como una estrategia de diagnóstico y planificación para productores
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2013)
In tropical Latin America, agroforestry systems (AFSs) with cacao and coffee are the most common and cover about 17.7 million hectares; and about 70% of cacao production comes from small farmers. As a strategy for performing diagnosis in cacao agroforestry arrangements, simulations were made with SExI-FS® to identify interactions and propose alternative management for agroforestry arrangement structures, given the key ...
