Item Alteraciones que no permiten cumplir con los estándares de calidad del banano para exportación en la hacienda María Antonieta(2017) Benítez Ibarra, Pablo Andrés; Yánez, WilfridoThe study was carried out at Hacienda María Antonieta, which has an area of 65 ha. It is located in El Piedrero Sector, Canton El Triunfo, Province of Guayas, with a geographical location 2º 10`44,16 "South Latitude and 79º 34`57.46" West Longitude. In this research there are no treatments, we will simply carry out the direct observation in the field of the alterations that present the different bunches harvested by batches existing in the hacienda, thus we have the lots: Orange, Gray, Yellow, Coffee, Green, Template, Template "A". Post-harvest management of bananas is important because losses can reach 100% of the crop due to problems of mechanical damage, rotting and premature ripening. The response variables taken into account for this investigation were: on grade, low grade, Viruses; Fall of field, altered, explosive, cream, erwinia and cochineal. In conclusion, the most common diseases detected in the bananas harvested within the María Antonieta estate are the virus with 5% of the total number of clusters affected; Followed by conditions caused by Erwinia bacteria with 4% and Cochinilla with 2%. As it is evident these percentages are too low to represent a problem of economic impact within the banana production. The most prevalent factor in the affection of banana clusters at the time of harvest is the over grade with 35% of the total number of clusters affected, followed by the low grade with 18%. These two alterations account for 53% of the total number of altered clusters. In the María Antonieta estate, the percentage of post-harvest banana losses is 2.49% due to several factors. This percentage shows that the losses are within the range allowed by the exporting company DOLE, and it does not represent significant losses for this estate.Item Aplicación de mucilago de semillas de cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) en el control de malezas(2017) Hipo Hipo, María Rosa; Curay Quispe, Segundo EuclidesThe objective of the present research was to evaluate the physical-chemical composition and phytotoxicity of the mucilage or cocoa beetle + biol of leaves as natural herbicides, on the different post-emergence species in 30-day weeds, the physico-chemical composition of the Cacao mucilage has positive results consisting of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, coumarins and sterols which has been reported as natural bioherbicides (Manjarrez et al., 2010). The test was established under a completely randomized block design, consisting of three replicates each with 9 plots in a total of 27 plots of (1.50mx 1.50m), the net plot of (0.5mx 0.5m) being within the The variables were evaluated; The percentage of cover, weed height in cm, control by species where 28 species belonging to 15 families were determined,% of mortality control and finally the weight of amount of green biomass in grams unlike the control, Factors studied were : TO). Concentration of herbicides (H1 = mucilage of pure cocoa and H2 = mixture of mucilage of cocoa + biol of leaves in proportion of 50% each); B). Application rate (100% and 50%); And C). Number of herbicide applications (A1 0 days and A2 0 and 8 days). Of the different concentrations, the most affected were weeds (<30 days), the analysis of variance established statistical differences where, the results obtained indicate the mortality of weeds at 8 days, presented a greater value of 88.67 plants in the treatment of 100% pure cocoa baba with two applications (H1D1A2), and the similar value was 50% cocoa bean treatment with two applications (H1D2A2) with 76.58 plants, comparing with the control (without cocoa bean) Which had a mortality of 34.91 plants. Meanwhile weed mortality at 15 days, the highest value reported are treatments of 100% pure cocoa bean with two applications (H1D1A2) and 50% cocoa bean with two applications (H1D2A2), with 95.58 and 94.67 dead plants respectively, sharing the range also is the treatment conformed by 100% cocoa bean with a single application (H1D1A1) with 81.42 plants of mortality; The control (without cocoa bean) recorded 40.81 dead plants which is only about 50% of the treatments mentioned above.Item Cambios en los sistemas agropecuarios campesinos: la ganaderización en zonas agricolas de Tungurahua(2017) Parco Asitimbay, Aida Ximena; Pomboza Tamaquiza, Pedro PabloPalabras claves: ganadería, pastos, campesino, cambio climático, suelos. xiv SUMMARY The objective of this work was to identify the main changes in the agricultural systems: the effect of the cattle raising in the agricultural areas of Tungurahua. Two peasant communities were selected considering the proximity to the moorland and evidences of changes from agriculture to livestock. it was applied a sampling non-probabilistic, 47 polls were carried out in San Luis de Chibuleo and 30 in Atillo. In addition, 12 soil samples were analyzed: six in the community of San Luis, three of soils with grown potato (L1C1) and three of soils with pastures (L1C2); and six in the community of Atillo with the same characteristics (L2C1) and (L2C2). By means of the obtained results it is determined that the population that dedicates to these activities has an average age between 42 to 52 years. In addition, the results indicate that peasants surveyed have bovine an average of 5 heads. The main factors identified associated with the changes have been: climate change; costs of production and milk market. The cattle raising also had favorable effects such as increased fertility in pasture soils (12.67% MO and 75.67 ppm Nitrogen). Also observed that the amount of K and Mn had high values, although not significant in soils with pastures, Likewise the production of milk is helping at feeding of the peasants, because It is providing at their families around (2 L/ day) and generate a permanent income for the family (between 270 and 442 USD / month). On the other hand, the unfavorable effects like as pressure on the moorland due to animal grazing, reduction of the area of agricultural crops (potatoes) and greater food dependence of the market. The results suggest the need to incorporate agroecological practices and balance the components: livestock, agriculture and forestry of the UPAs.Item Caracterización de los saberes ancestrales agrícolas en el cultivo de cacao (theobroma cacao l.)” en el cantón Cumandá(2016) Arévalo González, Agustín Andrés; González, MariluThis research is conducted in the enclosures Buenos Aires, The New Union, Los Laureles, 87, Guayacanes, Agricultural production, La Modelo, Cascajal, Rio Blanco, Reserves, San Miguel de Bucay Chico and San Vicente belonging to the canton Cumandá of Chimborazo province.

Eighteen male sheep with a mean age of 7 to 8 months and a weight of 22.23 kg were used. A completely randomized design (DCA) was used, with three treatments and six replicates, in addition to an analysis of variance and Tukey's test at 5%, with the statistical package SAS 2009. The treatments were T1: 100% alfalfa. (Witness); T2: 80% alfalfa + 20% breadfruit; T3: 60% alfalfa + 40% breadfruit. The variables evaluated were: voluntary nutrient intake (CVMS, CVMO, FVCF and FVCFN), weight gain (GP g / day) and feed conversion (CA), voluntary consumption of dry matter, organic matter and neutral detergent fiber Presented difference P = (0.0001) between treatments being the one of greater consumption T3 (1652.71; 1560.16; 872.63g) respectively. Regarding the consumption of acid detergent fiber, difference P = (0.0001) between treatments was observed, with the highest T1 value (585.77g). Regarding the weight gain presented difference P = (0.0001) between treatments obtaining the highest weight gain T3 (218.88 g / day). The feed conversion presented difference P = (0.0001) obtaining the smallest result T3 (7.55). Based on the results obtained, it is concluded that sheep fed diets containing 40% of breadfruit inclusions constitute an alternative food resource, being able to improve the productive parameters obtaining a good productive response, possibly due to the content of non-structural carbohydrates present In T3Item Desarrollo fenológico del cultivo del fréjol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Var. Cargabello en el cantón Bucay provincia del Guayas(2017) Villalba Yánez, Juan David; Gutiérrez A., AlbertoThe research work was carried out with the aim of contributing and generating data on the bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crop cycle to plan the commercialization and volumes of water to be applied at each phenological stage, to be disseminated to farmers and For educational purposes. According to the GPS Global Positioning System, it is at a height of 352 meters above sea level, and in geographical coordinates of 2º 12 '15 "south latitude and 79 ° 07'33" west longitude. Statistical analysis was applied with means of central tendency (Means, Standard deviation), where the following results were obtained, for the plant height variable in the final stage of the culture the average was 48.9 cm, for the root depth variable in The same stage presented an average of 32 cm, relating height and radical depth is 2/3 of the aerial part with the depth of the root. In the variable days at harvest, the time elapsed from sowing to dry harvesting was 102 this is due to climatic conditions that arose in the experiment especially in relation to high relative humidity. In the variable coefficient of the bean crop, the values given by FAO56 were taken, where the coefficient of cultivation (Kc) for the initial stage is 0.4 with a duration of 23 days. At the development stage the crop coefficient increases gradually, After 30 days reaches its maximum coefficient of crop (Kc) of 1.15 that presented in the intermediate stage since at this stage the consumptive use of the plant reaches its highest point the value of Kc remains constant for 28 days, In the final stage the Kc descends until reaching 0.35 with a duration of 21 days. Phenological stages of bean cultivation in the climatic conditions of Bucay, Guayas province had these durations for the initial stage 23 days, for the stage of development 30 days, for the intermediate stage or mid season the duration was 28 days and For the final stage or maturation 21 days, which allows us to know when the crop needs more or less water and fertilizers in addition can be scheduled the moment the product is ready to be marketed KEYWORDS: Phenological stages, bean, cultivation coefficient, root depth, plant height, Bucay.Item Descripción y revalorización de los saberes ancestrales en la producción agrícola en el recinto Suncamal, Sacramento y La Isla del cantón Cumandá provincia del Chimborazo(2017) Moreno Quishpe, Nury Celena; Mera Andrade, RafaelThe research was carried out in the Suncamal, Sacramento and Canton Island Cumandá precincts, Province of Chimborazo, with the aim of gathering information to know the ancestral practices that the maize, bean and sugar cane producers maintains in the production management agricultural. For the selection of the sample investigated, a meeting was convened to first socialize the project by inviting the farmers of the Suncamal, La Isla and Sacramento enclosures in them to observe the willingness to participate of 20 farmers in the Sacramento precinct, 30 in the precinct Suncamal and 50 in the enclosure the Island, giving a total of 100 farmers to them they proceeded to apply an interview. All phases of crop management, ie field preparation, seed selection, crop management, disease and pest control, irrigation, harvesting. Four were found in cane cultivation in relation to age with 80%, level of education with 63%, obtaining inherited knowledge with 73% not using any fertilizer with 76%. In the same way, in the cultivation of beans, four ancestral knowledge regarding the age of the farmers over 35 with 65%, by inheritance with 90%, the tools to be used with 87.1% for the sowing are fixed in the cycle Lunar and season of the year with 60%. In maize cultivation, only two factors were found: the first was the age of farmers with 76% greater than 35 years and the inheritance in obtaining their knowledge with 52%. The results of the research make it possible to determine that ancestral knowledge should be revalued among farmers through practical workshops in order to disseminate how the land worked for the elderly and that they should be rescued so that agricultural work can be carried out in search of Get organic and healthy food for the consumer.

The use of the ancestral knowledge and the application of the same in the livestock production, referring to the development of a pig, poultry or livestock farm, we can find some advantages, since it becomes a small family activity of backyard agriculture what the Unite more or one way for coexistence and contact with nature, and in this way to achieve higher yields with respect to profits and economic activity, in this way costs are cheaper since agrochemical or chemical inputs are not applied. Make the production system more expensive, which leads to sustainable production. The results obtained in the research made it possible to determine that ancestral knowledge should be revalued among the producers through practical workshops in order to disseminate how they work with the selected animals. For the selection of the animals take into account the size, weight, in the construction of chancheras, nests and corrals use materials of the area as bamboo cane, planks, leaves of cade, straw dry banana leaves, sawdust and through the use they use , Cooked Chinese potato, orito, tender pastures, kitchen waste. In order to combat diseases, they use plum buds for diarrhea, garlic, rue for pneumonia, for labor facilities use sawdust and in the process of laboring, the intervention and manipulation of man, to prevent diseases and disinfection of farms use incense and burning of Plants, for castration use knife and for healing use lemon, urine.

According to the ecological classification of Leslie Holdridge, the study area corresponds to Tropical rainforest In the results of nutrient extraction curves it can be seen that nitrogen, its maximum absorption is at 34.73 days with an average amount of 26 mg / plant / day, while phosphorus as well as zinc and Iron, its maximum extraction occurs between 31.55 and 31.13 days with an average amount of 1.88 mg / plant / day, for zinc, 3.55 mg / plant / day and for iron 13.32 mg / plant / day. For the case of potassium, its maximum extraction occurs at day 40.46, with an average amount of 16.28 mg / plant / day, for calcium its maximum extraction occurs at day 36.51 with an average amount of 8.48 mg / plant / day, While Magnesium and Sulfur, their maximum extraction occurs between days 33.72 and 33.02, respectively, with an average amount of 2.54 mg / plant / day for Mg and 2.05 mg / plant / day for S. The Manganese maximum extraction occurs at day 43.19 with an average amount of 2.71 mg / plant / day, the Copper its maximum extraction occurs at day 37.85 with an average amount of 0.55 mg / plant / day and Boron with its maximum level of Extraction on day 39.89 with an average amount of 0.10mg / plant / day. KEY WORDS: Extraction, Nutrients, Plant, TobaccoItem Efecto del consumo de dietas a base de fruta de pan (Artocarpus altilis) sobre la digestibilidad de los nutrientes en ovinos(2017) Ruilova Ruilova, Ruth Araceli; Barros Rodríguez, MarcosThe objective of the present research was to evaluate the effect of the consumption of diets based on breadfruit (Artacarpus altilis) on the digestibility of nutrients in sheep. For which 12 male sheep with an average age of 7 to 8 months and an average weight of 23.50 kg were used, a completely randomized design (DCA) was used, with three treatments and four replicates, in addition to an analysis of variance and Test of Tukey to 5%, with the statistical package SAS 2000. The treatments were T1: 100% of alfalfa. (Witness); T2: 80% alfalfa + 20% breadfruit; T3: 60% alfalfa + 40% breadfruit. The variables evaluated were: Voluntary intake of nutrients (CVMS, CVMO, CVFDN and CVFNA), Apparent nutrient digestibility (DMS, DMO, DFDN, DFDA) Being the highest value T3 and T2 (1651.29 and 1594.21 respectively). The voluntary consumption of organic matter and neutral detergent fiber presented differences (P = 0.0002 and 0.0001) between treatments, with the highest consumption T3 (1558.82; 871.88) and T2 (1496.96; 835.37) respectively. While for the voluntary consumption of acid detergent fiber shows differences (P = 0.0001) being its greater consumption T1 and T2 (583.01 and 582.26) respectively. Regarding the apparent digestibility of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber, differences (P = 0.0001) were observed between treatments, with the highest T3 digestibility (48.23 and 43.34), respectively. The digestibility of acid detergent fiber did not show a difference between treatments (P = 0.2208), based on the above results, and the differences between the treatments (P = 0.0001) and the highest digestibility T3 and T2 (55.58 and 53.91 respectively) It can be concluded that the incorporation of breadfruit in sheep diets can improve the digestibility of nutrients, possibly due to the non-structural carbohydrate content present in T3, which can improve the ruminal environment.Item Efectos de dos hormonas enraizantes sobre estacas de cacao (Theobroma cacao L) de la variedad CCN 51 en la zona de Matilde Esther, en la provincia del Guayas(2017) Campoverde Armijos, Jefferson Alexis; Cruz Tobar, EduardoThe research work was carried out with the objective of studying the effect of two rooting hormones on CCN-51 cacao clonal plants at nursery level, in the province of Guayas, Bucay county, Matilde Esther's enclosure in the nursery of Mr. Wilmer Palacios Geographical: 2 ° 11' 26.5¨ South latitude and 79º 05' 38.4¨ West longitude, with an altitude of 463 meters above sea level.

The Cumandá canton is located south west of the province of Chimborazo in the western foothills of the Andes mountain range in the Republic of Ecuador. The urban center is between the coordinates 2 ° 12'28 "S and 78 ° 08'15" W. For the methodology, a sample of the total corn producers in the Buenos Aires precinct, Cumandá canton, was calculated. The interviews were carried out on site using tape recorder and field leaves, in order to know the reality of the management of this crop in the area , Then surveys were used based on the information collected to close the answers. From this information a data sheet was constructed and tabulated in the Statistics system18. It can be observed that most of the farmers are men, since they work harder physically, women intervene in planting and harvesting, farmers have primary education level dedicating themselves to growing their properties that do not exceed the hectare, do not belong to Some agricultural association. Respondents buy seed in the market of improved varieties to obtain a greater production, the most common causes that cause crop losses is mismanagement, this influences the supply of the product that can be generated, often being low prices. The majority destines their production to the market without selecting their product and for that reason the price determines it according to the competition of the merchant, some producers realize costs of production therefore the majority do not do this it reflects that the farmers are not aware of the importance of Establish how much they need to start an agricultural activity, and whether or not the process will have a profit. This explains why the study area presents a scarce study analysis, in addition it contributes unnecessary expenses like great amount of chemical fertilizers and makes an excessive use of phytosanitary products contributing to increase the costs of production. The administrative structure of the farm is 70% owned and family owned, 80% belong to no association, and 54% own land with an area of 1000 to 10,000 m2. The maize that grows the farmers is the hybrid in 62%, since 44% consider that it provides good production. The unified basic remuneration of the workers is in accordance with what is established by law, that the financing is with own resource 92% of the producers, the target market is local at 85%, 96% puts the selling price on market. 86% do not record production costs; however, 66% consider that maize production is profitable. To obtain producers who specialize in producing maize highly valued by the consumer / both local and foreign. These data show that the problem that the sector is experiencing is not from productive yields but from technical management. It is necessary to elaborate a booklet of maize crop management, to improve all aspects related to the economic partner.

The research was descriptive, through interviews and surveys to the farmers of the community, to gather information on ancestral techniques in field preparation, seed selection, crop management, disease and pest control, irrigation, harvesting, postharvest (Solanum tuberosum), a semi-structured survey was prepared and tested with several questions. The results of the research, allow to determine that the knowledge acquired by the farmers are inherited from the older ones, that the land work mostly manually, as it allows them to control the quality of the soil, for planting they use native seeds because they have less problems Phytosanitary and yield. The factors that positively influence the ancestral knowledge regarding potato cultivation in relation to the preparation of manual soil with hoe with 80%, natural soil disinfection with 100% ash, seed origin 74%, handling of bad Manual herbs 100%, and manual hoeing with hoe or yoke with 100%.Item Fermentación ruminal in vitro y cinética de degradación ruminal in situ de dietas a base de fruta de pan (Artocarpus altilis)(2017) Silva Ruilova, Jonathan Oliveiros; Barros Rodríguez, MarcosThe objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of diets based on breadfruit (Artacarpus altilis) on ruminal fermentation in vitro and kinetics of in situ ruminal degradation in cattle. On the apparent dry matter digestibility (DIVMS, DIVMO), dry matter degradation kinetics (DMS, DMO, DFDN, DFDA) and in vitro gas production (PGIV), 6 cannulated bulls of approximately 2 years Of age and 350 kg of live weight distributed in a completely randomized design, subjected to 3 treatments and 6 repetitions. For the treatments T1: 100% alfalfa, T2: 80% alfalfa + 20% breadfruit and T3: 60% alfalfa + 40% breadfruit. The IVDMD and DIVMO was higher P = (0.0006) for T3 (504.5; 517.4 g / kg respectively). The DMS and DMO fraction the soluble fraction (A), the insoluble fraction (B) and (c) degradation rate in percent per hour, did not show differences between treatments, whereas for DMS, K (0.05 h -1 and 0.08 H-1) effective degradation presents differences P = (0.0001, 0.0005 respectively) between treatments, with the highest percentages being T3 (59.6, 56.4) and T2 (57.8, 55.3) respectively. As for the effective degradation DMO, K (0.02 h-1 and 0.05 h-1) presented difference P = (0.0001) between treatments, obtaining the highest T3 results (62.4 and 57.5 respectively), K value (0.08 h- 1) was higher in T3 and t2 (54.1 and 52.4) presenting difference P = (0.0001) with respect to T1. For the DFDN, (A) does not present difference P = (0.3085) between treatments. While for (B) and (c) they show differences P = (0.0215 and 0.0320) respectively, being those with higher value T3 (37.0 and 0.092 respectively). With respect to K (0.02 h-1, 0.05 h-1 and 0.08 h-1), there were P = (0.0001) differences between treatments obtaining the highest T3 results (44.2, 37.8 and 33.7), respectively. Regarding DFDA, the parameters under study: (A), (c) did not present any difference, while for (B) the highest value was obtained T3 (32.8), presenting difference for P = (0.0104) with respect to T1. The DFDA K (0.02 h-1) presented its highest values in T2 and T3 (29.2 and 28.5), with a difference in P = (0.0005) in relation to T1, while in K (0.05 h -1 and 0.08 h -1) Did not show difference P = (0.1602 and 0.2303 respectively) between treatments. It was concluded that (Artocarpus altilis) could be used in diets for cattle up to 40%.
