Baselly-Villanueva rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Camila Cruz-Grimaldo rsiche@unitru.edu.pe <p>Los individuos del género <em>Prosopis </em>sp. conocidos como algarrobos; son especies claves en el desarrollo del bosque seco y recuperación de áreas degradadas en la Costa norte del Perú. La evaluación de plantaciones, cálculo de la biomasa aérea forestal (BAF) y carbono almacenado representa un papel importante en el manejo forestal y mitigación del cambio climático. Este estudio evalúa metodologías de monitoreo a través del uso de imágenes multiespectrales y LiDAR acopladas a un VANT, con la finalidad de realizar su validación y generar modelos que permitan estimar el carbono almacenado. Se evaluaron siete especies de <em>Prosopis </em>sp. con la metodología convencional y se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las especies para las características dasométricas e índices de vegetación, así como en la comparación con los datos obtenidos con el LiDAR. Se seleccionaron modelos para determinar BAF y la asociación entre el carbono aéreo obtenido con los modelos constituidos por datos de LiDAR e índices de vegetación que presentaron correlaciones significativas (p &lt; 0,05), se construyeron siete modelos para predicción de carbono y destaca el modelo que tiene como variables regresoras la altura total y área de copa obtenidas del LiDAR, así como los índices CIgreen, GNDVI, RECI, LCI y NDVI (R² = 0,77). Lo cual confirma que el uso de la metodología LiDAR con los índices de vegetación permite una estimación más práctica del carbono almacenado en la plantación.</p> 2025-05-05T00:00:00+00:00 Derechos de autor 2025 Scientia Agropecuaria https://revistas.unitru.edu.pe/index.php/scientiaagrop/article/view/6387 Antioxidant activity and seed vigor in germination of bean under salt stress conditions 2025-05-05T12:59:54+00:00 Matheus Santin Padilha rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Cileide Maria Medeiros Coelho cileide.souza@udesc.br Yasmin Pincegher Siega rsiche@unitru.edu.pe <p>Using seeds with higher physiological potential can help overcome saline stress, affecting many arable areas in tropical and subtropical regions. This study aimed to evaluate whether seed vigor contributes to overcoming saline stress, seeking to identify the association between the antioxidant system and seed lot vigor. Seeds of the BAF55 genotype with two levels of vigor were used. The seeds were germinated under no-stress conditions, with 75 and 150 mmol L<sup>-1</sup> of sodium chloride in the solution during germination. After five days, morphological changes and changes in the enzyme’s catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, proline, malondialdehyde, and hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. An increase in antioxidant activity was observed with the imposed stresses and no significant difference was observed between the vigor level, except in the condition of 75 mmol L<sup>-1</sup> in the hypocotyl of the seedlings and, for proline in the condition of 150 mmol L<sup>-1</sup> in which the low-vigor presented greater activity. The stress of 150 mmol L<sup>-1</sup> showed greater severity in seeds of low-vigor, resulting in greater lipid peroxidation in the seedlings formed and resulting in seedlings with lower performance.</p> 2025-05-05T00:00:00+00:00 Derechos de autor 2025 Scientia Agropecuaria https://revistas.unitru.edu.pe/index.php/scientiaagrop/article/view/6388 Impact of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, white fungus waste, and nano fertilizer on pyrophosphatase activity, growth characteristics, and yield of stevia plant 2025-05-05T13:45:22+00:00 Zahraa J. Al-budairy zzaah94@gmail.com Luma S. Al-Taweel rsiche@unitru.edu.pe <p>Aimed to know the effect of <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> bacteria, white fungus waste, and nano fertilizer on the pyrophosphatase enzyme, growth characteristics, and yield of stevia plants. The bacterial vaccine represented the first factor. It was added at two levels: B0 (without inoculum) and B1 (injecting 2 ml of liquid bio-inoculum represented by <em>P. aeruginosa</em>). The second factor was adding white fungus waste at three levels defined by Ab0 (without adding white mushroom waste), Ab1 (adding white mushroom waste at level 5 tons/h), and Ab2 (adding white mushroom waste at level 10 tons/h). Nano fertilizer was added as a third factor at four levels: N0 (without adding nano fertilizer), N1 (adding 4 kg/h of nano zinc), N2 (adding 2 kg/h of nano boron), and N3 (adding a mixture of 1 kg/h of nano boron + 2 kg/h of nano zinc). The triple combination B1Ab1N3 achieved a significant superiority in the activity of the pyrophosphatase enzyme in the first and second harvests and recorded (260.67 and 166.00) µg PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-3</sup>-P/g soil 5/h, respectively, compared to the treatment without addition, which recorded (55.00 and 44.67) µg PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-3</sup>-P/g soil 5/h, respectively. In contrast, the triple combination B1Ab2N3 achieved the highest growth and yield characteristics of the stevia plant and recorded the highest rate of plant height, dry weight of leaves and total yield, and recorded 83.90 and 76.00 cm/plant, 61.7 and 53.0 g/plant, 4933 and 4240 kg/h, respectively, compared to the treatment without addition, which recorded 68.98 and 60.63 cm/plant, 44.6 and 38.1 g/plant, 3563 and 3050 kg/h respectively.</p> 2025-05-05T00:00:00+00:00 Derechos de autor 2025 Scientia Agropecuaria https://revistas.unitru.edu.pe/index.php/scientiaagrop/article/view/6450 An effective disinfection protocol for contamination control in vitro establishment of Mortiño (Vaccinium floribundum Kunth) and identification of endogenous microbes 2025-05-25T13:09:55+00:00 Lissette Moreno-Peña rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Karen Hidalgo-Escobar rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Juan M. Cevallos-Cevallos rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Eduardo Sanchez-Timm lesanche@espol.edu.ec <p>The <em>Vaccinium</em> genus consists of a variety of berries with high nutritious components consumed worldwide leading to the development of micropropagation protocols to supply the demand. Mortiño, the Andean Blueberry (<em>Vaccinium floribundum </em>Kunth) is a wild berry that grows in high-altitude grasslands with nutritious and commercial potential in Ecuador. In this study, the use of PPM<sup>TM</sup> (Plant Preservative Mixture™) was effective controlling contamination for the <em>in vitro</em> establishment of <em>Vaccinium floribundum </em>Kunth in contrast to a conventional method using EtOH and Clorox. Stems were defoliated and cut into 1 cm segments, then immersed in liquid MS (Murashige &amp; Skoog) supplemented with 5% v/v PPM<sup>TM</sup> without pH adjustment for 5 hours under constant shaking. After immersion, segments were transferred to flasks containing WPM (Woody Plant Media) medium supplemented with an additional 2 mlL<sup>-1</sup> PPM<sup>TM</sup>. Persistent microbial contaminants in the <em>in vitro</em> explants were isolated and identified through molecular methods and gene sequences analyzed using the GenBank database resulted in the identification of three bacterial species: <em>Methylobacterium</em> <em>sp</em>., <em>Methylobacterium radiotolerans</em>, and <em>Bacillus pumilus</em>. In addition, three fungal species were also discovered: Xylaria <em>sp</em>., <em>Xylaria feejeensis</em>, and <em>Diaporthe lutecens</em>. Additionally, a multiplication assay was made with the aseptic stems from the sterilization protocol to evaluate four different growth regulators: 2ip, kinetin, zeatin and meta-topolin. kinetin showed very low responses with a mean of 1.2 shoots per stem. The highest number of shoots per stem (9 shoots) was obtained with 5 mg L<sup>-1</sup> 2ip. The use of zeatin and meta-topolin facilitated shoot proliferation with the following concentrations: 3 mg L<sup>-1 </sup>zeatin + 0.5 mg L<sup>-1</sup> NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic Acid) and 3 mg L<sup>-1 </sup>Meta-topolin + 0.5 mg L<sup>-1 </sup>NAA. These findings demonstrate the successful establishment of an <em>in vitro</em> disinfection and multiplication protocol for <em>V. floribundum</em>.&nbsp;</p> 2025-05-25T00:00:00+00:00 Derechos de autor 2025 Scientia Agropecuaria https://revistas.unitru.edu.pe/index.php/scientiaagrop/article/view/6451 Cepas de Akanthomyces uredinophilum, Simplicillium lanosoniveum y Trichoderma spp. presentan alta actividad endófita e inducen un mejor crecimiento de plantas de café 2025-05-25T13:34:40+00:00 Juana Margarita Martínez-de-Jesús rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Roberto Montesinos-Matias rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Edgar Martínez-Fernandez rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Oscar Gabriel Villegas-Torres rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Guadalupe Peña-Chora rsiche@unitru.edu.pe María Andrade-Rodríguez maria.andrade@uaem.mx <p>El cultivo de café (<em>Coffea arabica </em>L.) es afectado por la roya (<em>Hemileia vastatrix</em>) que causa pérdidas de más del 70% en la producción, el uso de hongos endófitos es una estrategia biológica para el control de enfermedades. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la actividad endófita de 14 cepas de hongos y su efecto en el crecimiento de plantas de café var. Caturra. Se inocularon semillas de café con una concentración de 1×10<sup>6</sup> conidios mL<sup>-1</sup> de agua, se sembraron y organizaron en diseño experimental completamente al azar, tres repeticiones de ocho plantas por cepa. A los 30, 60 y 120 días después de la emergencia de plántulas, se tomaron muestras de cinco segmentos de hoja por planta, de 5 mm de diámetro y se evaluó la actividad endófita, se registró inicio de crecimiento del hongo (días), crecimiento inicial del hongo (%) y crecimiento total del hongo (%). Para evaluar el efecto de las cepas de hongo en el crecimiento de las plantas de café se evaluaron altura de planta, diámetro de tallo, número de hojas, pares de hojas, número de ramas e índice de contenido de clorofila. Se realizó análisis de varianza y prueba de separación de medias Tukey (<em>p </em>≤ 0,05). Tres cepas de <em>A. uredinophilum </em>(CHE-CNRCB 435, 616 y 988), dos de <em>S</em>. <em>lanosoniveum </em>(CHE-CNRCB 438 y 544) y tres de <em>Trichoderma </em>(CHE-CNRCB 398, 1057 y 1062) presentaron actividad endófita mayor al 70%; las tres cepas de <em>Trichoderma </em>spp., indujeron mejor crecimiento de plantas de café.</p> 2025-05-25T00:00:00+00:00 Derechos de autor 2025 Scientia Agropecuaria https://revistas.unitru.edu.pe/index.php/scientiaagrop/article/view/6452 Resilience of progeny of Swietenia macrophylla to the simulated attack of Hypsipyla grandella in nursery 2025-05-25T15:25:54+00:00 Jorge Manuel Revilla-Chávez jrevilla@iiap.gob.pe Rubén Darío Manturano-Pérez rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Antony Cristhian Gonzales-Alvarado rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Rubén Casas-Reátegui rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Linda Ibeth Briceño Dueñas rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Jorge Arturo Mori-Vásquez rsiche@unitru.edu.pe Alexandre Magno Sebbenn rsiche@unitru.edu.pe <p>The resilience of seedlings from four open-pollinated families of <em>Swietenia macrophylla</em> to simulated attacks by <em>Hypsipyla grandella</em> was evaluated at the nursery stage to determine the possibility of early selection of individuals from the most resilient families and establish sustainable forest plantations in the Peruvian Amazon. Significant differences were detected among families for diameter (D), sprout length (SL), and basal sprout area (BA). The coefficient of determination for genotypic effects was moderate (range: 0.248 – 0.457) for H (plant height), D, SL, and BA, and low (&lt; 0.15) for plant base height (HB), number of sprouts (NR), number of branches (NB), and number of leaves (NL). The genetic correlation for the traits H, D, SL, BA, NR, NB, and NL ranged from 0.228 to 0.996, indicating that an increase in one of these traits can result in an increase in the other. This is important because there is the possibility of early selection of families for the traits D, SL, and BA for the development of plantations with families resistant to attack. Therefore, the genetic and phenotypic variation observed in the families suggests the possibility of early selection as a promising strategy for genetic improvement programs, using a larger number of families than those used in the present study, since theoretically larger samples may contain greater genetic variation between and within families.</p> 2025-05-25T00:00:00+00:00 Derechos de autor 2025 Scientia Agropecuaria
