Diagnóstico general y servicio prestado en la Cooperativa Agrícola Integral Unión de 4 Pinos R.L. Santiago Sacatepéquez, Guatemala C.A. y evaluación de Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin en la producción y prolongación de vida en anaquel del zucchini (Cucúrbita pepo L. subsp. pepo.)

La presente investigación se realizó en a Cooperativa Agrícola Integral Unión de 4 Pinos, R.L., Finca La Suiza, San Lucas Sacatepéquez, mediante el diagnóstico realizado en Finca La Suiza, área productora de Cooperativa Agrícola Integral Unión de 4 Pinos, determinando que la importancia de investigar el uso de nuevas tecnologías que aumenten la vida de anaquel del zucchini. La investigación consistió en la evaluación del efecto de los ingredientes activos Boscalid+Pyraclostrobin en la producción y prolongación de vida en anaquel del zucchini, para lo cual el ensayo fue dividido en dos etapas, la primera la producción en campo y la segunda el manejo postcosecha en planta empacadora. La primera parte fue realizada en Finca La Suiza, para lo cual se elaboró un plan de manejo fitosanitario, tomando como base el plan de manejo fitosanitario para el cultivo de zucchini Departamento Agrícola 2009, a la cual se incluyeron las aplicaciones de la estrobilurina (Boscalid+Pyraclostrobin) se evaluaron cuatro tratamientos, de los cuales uno era el testigo absoluto, dos tratamientos con 2 y 3 aplicaciones de la estrobilurina (Boscalid+Pyraclostrobin) en diferentes etapas fenológicas del cultivo y un cuarto tratamiento el manejo tradicional del Departamento Agrícola, asi como manejo postcosecha del producto, el cual fue sometido a un procedimiento de clasificación, lavado, desinfección, empaque y colocación en cuarto frio (4ºC) para determinar los días de vida en anaquel del zucchini

Nutrient consumption by spiders in the differential extraction experiment.

<p>Comparisons of the consumption of lipid and protein by <i>Argiope keyserlingi</i> spiders when feeding on sequential locusts, <i>Chortoicetes terminifera</i>: A) the first locust injected with nutrient solutions, B) the second locust injected with nutrient solutions, C) the first unmanipulated locust, and D) the second unmanipulated locust. Values are the mean <u>+</u>1 SE. * denote significant multivariate and univariate differences in protein and lipid consumption between treatments.</p

Statistical results for nutrient extraction experiment.

<p>The results of univariate analysis of variance testing the effects of injection treatment (High Protein or High Lipid) on the mass of protein or lipid consumed by spiders when feeding on locusts.</p

Ant survival according to the protein type and protein to carbohydrate ratio.

<p>N = 8 experimental colonies of 200 individuals per treatment. Mortality dynamics were consistent between colonies of the same treatment. The dotted lines represent the confidence intervals.</p

Observations of the “Egg White Injury” in Ants - Figure 6

<p><b>A</b> Mean number of biting events observed. Nests were scanned 60 times (every 3 min for 3 hours) for 5 days. <b>B</b> Mean aggression index (see text for definition) of workers fed with a mix of protein (5∶1 MIX, green error bars) or egg protein (5∶1 EGG, Blue error bars) encountering workers coming from the same or a different colony fed the same or a different diet. N = 4 experimental colonies of 200 individuals per treatment.</p

Nutrient extraction by spiders feeding on unmanipulated locust 1.

<p>For the first unmanipulated locust, tests for differential extraction of A) lipid, B) protein, and C) the ratio of lipid to protein from the locust body by <i>Argiope keyserlingi</i> spiders. All spiders had previously been fed two locusts that were injected with nutrient solutions. Regression lines were plotted separately for spiders previously fed lipid injected locusts (dashed line) and spiders previously fed protein injected locusts (solid line).</p

Nutrients in the bodies of locusts and spiders.

<p>Comparisons of the effects of macronutrient injection treatments on A) the lipid and protein content of locusts, <i>Locusta migratoria</i>, B) the lipid and protein content of spiders, <i>Argiope keyserlingi</i>, that fed on the locusts, and C) the relationship between lipid:protein in locusts and spiders that fed on them. In A and B, treatments with different letters are significantly different from each other in protein (capital letters) and lipid (lower case letters). Values are the mean <u>+</u>1 SE.</p
