1. Variable Rate Application Of Nematicides On Cotton Fields: A Promising Site-specific Management StrategyThe impact of two nematicides [ 1,3 – Dichloropropene (Telone® II) and Aldicarb (Temik)] applied at two rates on RKN population density and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lint yield were compared across previously determined RKN management zones (MZ) in commercial fields between 2007 and 2009. The MZ were delineated using fuzzy clustering of various surrogate data for soil texture. All treatments were randomly allocated among... B. Ortiz, C. Perry, D.G. Sullivan, R.C. Kemerait, R.F.

2. Microbial Contaminants in Cocoa Powder Samples in South – West NigeriaCocoa powder (CP), which is the major ingredient of cocoa-based beverages, is obtained from cocoa cake in a process involving hydraulic pressing of cocoa butter from fermented and roasted cocoa beans. Cocoa powder is presently being consumed as a health drink because of the presence of flavonoids in it. Evidences have shown that cocoa flavonoids exert powerful antioxidant properties by boosting immune responses and also the presence of procyanidins in cocoa protects the body against free-radical....

3. Developing Geospatial Method for Autopilot Harvester Trampling Evaluation in Colombian Sugarcane FieldsSugarcane is a crop of great importance for the geographical valley of the Cauca River in Colombia, where it covers approximately 241,000 hectares and is cultivated by 13 sugar mills and about 4,200 cultivators. This region is characterized by its favorable climate, which enables year-round sugarcane harvesting and its high productivity, making it a global leader in this sector. This achievement is largely attributed to the technological advances developed by Colombia Sugarcane Research Center... J.D. Ome narvaez, D.F. Sandoval, S.A. Galeano, H.B. Tarapues, A. Estrada, J.P.

4. Method to Optimize Soil Survey for Multiple Soil PropertyThe sugarcane production system in Colombia, spanning an area of 241,000 hectares in the geographical valley of the Cauca River, is recognized worldwide due to its high productivity, adoption of advanced technologies, and sustainable management. The natural soil and climate conditions in this region result in significant variability in the chemical and physical soil properties. Consequently, determining the soil variability is crucial to achieving its maximum productive potential through differentiated... D.F. Sandoval, D.F. Perdomo |
