    Con la finalidad de conocer el efecto de la zeolita en la volatilización del dióxido de carbono (CO2) y amoniaco (NH3), se estableció un ensayo de incubación durante 20 días en condiciones controladas de humedad y temperatura, para lo cual se realizaron mezclas entre residuos orgánicos de aves y cantidades de zeolita utilizando un diseño factorial 24, teniendo un total de 8 tratamientos donde se evaluaron cada día las emisiones de CO2 y NH3. Los datos obtenidos fueron sometidos a un análisis de varianza y a una prueba de Tukey. Los resultados mostraron que la zeolita ayuda a la disminución de emisiones de NH3, y no afectó la actividad microbiana presente, se concluye que la zeolita atrapó el ion amonio en su estructura y no permitió su transformación a NH3

    The Chilhuacle Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) in Mexico: Description of the Variety, Its Cultivation, and Uses

    No full text
    The chilhuacle chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is a Mexican native variety whose production has been highly valuable because it is the main ingredient of the Oaxacan black mole, a typical Mexican dish. It is basically grown in the Cañada Region of the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, within the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve. Importantly, it is cultivated under traditional agricultural systems, where a range of agronomic constraints associated with the production process and the incidence and severity of pests and diseases represent significant impediments that hinder the yield potential. Additionally, the genetic basis of the crop is highly restricted. Under such environmental and production conditions, the mean crop yield of chilhuacle chili can reach 1 t ha−1 of dehydrated fruits, which can be used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. In this review we summarize the current progress on chilhuacle chili cultivation and outline some crucial guidelines to improve production, as well as other research topics that need to be further addressed
