The Impact Of Sample Processing And Media Chemistry On The Culturable Diversity Of Bacteria Isolated From A Cave, Katey E. Bender, Katelyn Glover, Alexander Archey, Hazel A. Barton
The Impact Of Sample Processing And Media Chemistry On The Culturable Diversity Of Bacteria Isolated From A Cave, Katey E. Bender, Katelyn Glover, Alexander Archey, Hazel A. Barton
International Journal of Speleology
Although molecular approaches can identify members of microbial communities in the environment, genomic information does not necessarily correlate with environmental phenotype. Understanding functional roles can be done by cultivating representative species, yet the culturablility of bacteria from caves remains low, at 0.02%, limiting our understanding of microbial community interactions and processes. We have investigated several factors influencing culturability of bacteria from a single sample location in Maxwelton Sink Cave, WV, USA. Extended incubation of inoculated plates showed a significant increase in colony counts from two to four weeks, indicating that extended incubations increase culturability. There were no significant differences in …
Suitability Of Native Milkweed (Asclepias) Species Versus Cultivars For Supporting Monarch Butterflies And Bees In Urban Gardens [Research Data], Daniel A. Potter
Suitability Of Native Milkweed (Asclepias) Species Versus Cultivars For Supporting Monarch Butterflies And Bees In Urban Gardens [Research Data], Daniel A. Potter
Entomology Research Data
Public interest in ecological landscaping and gardening is fueling a robust market for native plants. Most plants available to consumers through the horticulture trade are cultivated forms that have been selected for modified flowers or foliage, compactness, or other ornamental characteristics. Depending on their traits, some native plant cultivars seem to support pollinators, specialist insect folivores, and insect-based vertebrate food webs as effectively as native plant species, whereas others do not. There is particular need for information on whether native cultivars can be as effective as true or “wild-type” native species for supporting specialist native insects of conservation concern. Herein …

Agroclimatic Zoning For Cultivation Of Saffron Using Ahp Approach In Sarab, Navid Yaghoubzadeh, Razieh Pourdarbani, Ardavan Ghorbani, Gholamhossein Shahgholi
Agroclimatic Zoning For Cultivation Of Saffron Using Ahp Approach In Sarab, Navid Yaghoubzadeh, Razieh Pourdarbani, Ardavan Ghorbani, Gholamhossein Shahgholi
Emirates Journal for Engineering Research
According to agricultural experts, saffron is one of the crops that can be a good solution to the problem of drought in a water crisis situation. A plant which uses low water consumption and high economic incomes is a good alternative to wheat, a water-consuming crop. Saffron does not need water at all in the summer, and in the fall and winter, rain will irrigate this crop and require very little water during the year. This study was conducted to select the optimum location of saffron cultivation and its comparative study in Sarab with regard to the role of important …
El Cultivo De Fríjol (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) Como Un Modelo De Producción Agrícola En La Vereda Mercadillo Del Municipio De Guavatá, José Norvey Mateus García
El Cultivo De Fríjol (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) Como Un Modelo De Producción Agrícola En La Vereda Mercadillo Del Municipio De Guavatá, José Norvey Mateus García
Ingeniería Agronómica
La progresiva necesidad en la elaboración de alimentos a escala mundial, demanda mayor eficiencia en la creación de excelentes alternativas técnicas especializadas en la producción de cultivos, para colocarlas a disposición de pequeños, medianos y grandes productores de este sector (Escoto, 2013). El proyecto productivo del cultivo de fríjol (P. vulgaris L.) desde el componente agronómico se fundamentó en integrar una estrategia productiva para terrenos con pendientes predominantes, como alternativa transitoria en los lugares donde se realiza renovación de cultivos, principalmente en café (Coffea arabica ), minimizando costos directos en contraste con un aumento de utilidad recaudada. Desde el componente …
Evaluación Y Socialización De La Economía Campesina En La Vereda Naranjos Altos Y Presentación De La Experiencia Del Cultivo De Arveja (Pisum Sativum L.) Como Alternativa De Producción En El Municipio De Algeciras, Huila, Mercy Liliana Zapata Pinto

Ingeniería Agronómica
El presente proyecto se ha llevado a cabo en el municipio de Algeciras, departamento del Huila. La implementación del cultivo se desarrolló en dos ciclos productivos ambos en un área de 2.650 m2 donde se administró con prácticas agronómicas correspondientes a necesidades nutricionales, suministro hídrico, control integrado de arvenses, plagas y enfermedades, siendo estas las más limitantes dentro del sistema productivo en cada uno de los ciclos de producción implementados. Paralelamente se desarrolló una evaluación relacionada con la caracterización económica del sistema de producción de la finca La Primavera en la vereda Naranjos Altos, lo anterior sumado a las experiencias …

Análisis De Ciclo De Vida En Cultivo De Cannabis Sp. Medicinal, Juan Sebastián Mora Aguilar
Ingeniería Ambiental y Sanitaria
En Colombia, dada la reciente legalización del uso medicinal y científico del Cannabis sp., Se presenta un panorama de oportunidad socioeconómica y académica a partir del cultivo, transformación y comercialización de los derivados de la planta. Los cultivos de Cannabis sp. han mostrado que tienen un valor de impacto negativo en cambio climático, es decir, un impacto ambiental positivo frente a las contribuciones al cambio climático por parte de los Gases Efecto Invernadero (GEI), dada la captura de dióxido de carbono (CO2). Sin embargo, estos cultivos en Colombia no han tenido una evaluación ambiental que indique cuál es la perspectiva …
