On-farm assessment of yield and quality traits in durum wheat

Facundo Tabbita Iván Ortíz-Monasterios Francisco Javier Pinera-Chavez Maria Itria Ibba Carlos Guzman (2023, [Artículo])

BACKGROUND: Durum wheat is key source of calories and nutrients for many regions of the world. Demand for it is predicted to increase. Further efforts are therefore needed to develop new cultivars adapted to different future scenarios. Developing a novel cultivar takes, on average, 10 years and advanced lines are tested during the process, in general, under standardized conditions. Although evaluating candidate genotypes for commercial release under different on-farm conditions is a strategy that is strongly recommended, its application for durum wheat and particularly for quality traits has been limited. This study evaluated the grain yield and quality performance of eight different genotypes across five contrasting farmers’ fields over two seasons. Combining different analysis strategies, the most outstanding and stable genotypes were identified. RESULTS: The analyses revealed that some traits were mainly explained by the genotype effect (thousand kernel weight, flour sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation volume, and flour yellowness), others by the management practices (yield and grain protein content), and others (test weight) by the year effect. In general, yield showed the highest range of variation across genotypes, management practices, and years and test weight the narrowest range. Flour yellowness was the most stable trait across management conditions, while yield-related traits were the most unstable. We also determined the most representative and discriminative field conditions, which is a beneficial strategy when breeders are constrained in their ability to develop multi-environment experiments. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that assessing genotypes in different farming systems is a valid and complementary strategy for on-station trials for determining the performance of future commercial cultivars in heterogeneous environments to improve the breeding process and resources.

Gender, rainfall endowment, and farmers’ heterogeneity in wheat trait preferences in Ethiopia

Hom Nath Gartaula Moti Jaleta (2024, [Artículo])

Wheat is a vital cereal crop for smallholders in Ethiopia. Despite over fifty years of research on wheat varietal development, consideration of gendered trait preferences in developing target product profiles for wheat breeding is limited. To address this gap, our study used sex-disaggregated survey data and historical rainfall trends from the major wheat-growing regions in Ethiopia. The findings indicated heterogeneity in trait preferences based on gender and rainfall endowment. Men respondents tended to prefer wheat traits with high straw yield and disease-resistance potential, while women showed a greater appreciation for wheat traits related to good taste and cooking quality. Farmers in high rainfall areas seemed to prioritize high straw yield and disease resistance traits, while those in low rainfall areas valued good adaptation traits more highly. Most of the correlation coefficients among the preferred traits were positive, indicating that farmers seek wheat varieties with traits that serve multiple purposes. Understanding men's and women's preferences and incorporating them in breeding and seed systems could contribute to the development of more targeted and effective wheat varieties that meet the diverse needs of men and women farmers in Ethiopia.

Análisis espectral de consumo doméstico de agua potable

Una de las variables con mayor incertidumbre en su comportamiento dentro del análisis hidráulico de las redes de agua potable es el consumo de agua proveniente de los usuarios. Recientemente, se ha demostrado que el consumo en el ámbito domiciliario tiene un carácter estocástico y se han desarrollado diferentes metodologías que intentan representar esta variable. Sin embargo, no es posible definir con exactitud dos situaciones: 1) el grado de información que se pierde al muestrear la señal con cierto intervalo de registro y la posible presencia de enmascaramiento (aliasing); y 2) la frontera (rango) en el tiempo, en el cual pueden aplicarse estos procesos de agregación y desagregación temporal. El proceso basado en el análisis de Fourier se puede aplicar como herramienta de desagregación temporal y obtener el intervalo de registro óptimo de medición en campo. A partir de la metodología, se obtuvo que el rango de aplicación del esquema está entre los 240 y 1 segundos. En otras palabras, es posible medir con intervalo de registro hasta 240 segundos y recuperar información con intervalo de registro de un segundo. El método se validó con mediciones en campo de consumo doméstico realizadas en una ciudad mexicana.

Caracterización de aguas residuales porcinas y su tratamiento por diferentes procesos en México

MARCO ANTONIO GARZON ZUÑIGA GERARDO RAMON BUELNA ACEDO (2014, [Artículo])

La mayoría de los sistemas de tratamiento de efluentes de granjas porcinas a escala real, presentan bajas eficiencias de remoción de contaminantes debido a que se han aplicado sistemas que no toman en cuenta la gran variación de concentración de contaminantes de los efluentes de diferentes procesos productivos (maternidad, destete, engorda y mezcla). Este trabajo presenta una investigación sobre la variación en la composición de 14 efluentes de granjas porcinas en México y la eficiencia de cinco diferentes procesos de tratamiento aplicados a escala real.
