Taxonomic list of organisms that affect yellow pitaya, Selenicereus megalanthus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran (Cactaceae) in ColombiaListado taxonómico de organismos que afectan la pitaya amarilla, Selenicereus megalanthus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran (Cactaceae) en Colombia
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2012)
A list of organisms associated with yellow pitaya crop, Selenicereus megalanthus (K. Schum. ex Vaupel) Moran in Colombia is provided. The main pests of yellow pitaya in Colombia are the flower-bud fly Dasiops saltans Townsend (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) and Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Hemiptera: Coreidae). In this study we report 29 organisms affecting yellow pitaya: 4 Classes, i.e., Arachnida (1 sp.), Aves (1 sp.), ...
Design and construction of a prototipe storage system for pitahayaDiseño y construcción a nivel piloto de un sistema de almacenamiento para pitaya
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2008)
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 ...
Evaluation of the use of passive modified atmospheres and low temperatures on the conservation of yellow pitahayaEvaluación del uso de atmósferas modificadas pasivas y temperaturas bajas en la conservación de pitaya amarilla (Selinicereus megalanthus Shuman)
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2008)
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 ...
Evaluation of three hydrolyzed proteins for capturing adults of the yellow pitaya flowerbud fly, Dasiops saltans Townsend (Diptera: Lonchaeidae)Evaluación de tres proteínas hidrolizadas para la captura de adultos de la mosca del botón floral de la pitaya amarilla, Dasiops saltans Townsend (Diptera: Lonchaeidae)
(Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria - AGROSAVIA, 2013)
Three baits for trapping the pitaya flower-bud fly, Dasiops saltans Townsend (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) in yellow pitaya, Selenicereus megalanthus (Cactaceae) orchards were evaluated. The tested baits were hydrolyzed soy protein (without monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed soy protein with monosodium glutamate (commercial soy sauce), and hydrolyzed corn protein (without monosodium glutamate), which were put into McPhail traps ...
