Agroproductive Behavior of Four Onion Varieties (Allium cepa) in Suburban Arid Lands in Camalote, Camaguey, Cuba

Four onion varieties of onion (Allium cepa) were studied in order to evaluate their behavior in the edaphoclimatic conditions of Ignacio Agramonte CCS, Camalote Agricultural Company, municipality of Nuevitas, Camaguey, Cuba. A randomized block design with four treatments and three replicas was used on alluvial soil, between November 2013 and March 2014. For evaluation of the phenological behavior and the crop´s yield indicators, plant height, number of leaves, bulb diameter, bulb formation, and yields (t/ha), were evaluated. One-way variance analysis was made to the data collected. The Hybrid Yellow Granex had the best bulb formation (90%); Texas Early Granex 502 had the highest yield (17 t/ha)

Comportamiento agroproductivo de cuatro variedades de Cebolla (Allium cepa, L) en zonas áridas suburbanas de Camalote, Camagüey, Cuba

Con el propósito de evaluar el comportamiento de la cebolla (A. cepa) fueron estudiadas cuatro variedades con el propósito en las condiciones edafoclimáticas de la CCS Ignacio Agramonte, perteneciente a la Empresa Agropecuaria de Camalote, municipio de Nuevitas. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques al azar con cuatro tratamientos y tres réplicas sobre un suelo aluvial durante el periodo comprendido entre noviembre 2013 a marzo del 2014. Para la evaluación del comportamiento fenológico y los indicadores de rendimiento del cultivo se evaluaron la altura de la planta, número de hojas, diámetro del bulbo, cierre del bulbo y el rendimiento en t/ha para ello se utilizó un diseño de bloques al azar con cuatro tratamientos y tres réplicas. Los datos obtenidos fueron sometidos a un análisis de varianza de clasificación simple. La variedad Yellow Granex Híbrida presento el mejor cierre del bulbo (90%) y la variedad Texas Early Grano 502 el mejor rendimiento (17 t/ha)

Historia de una institución hospitalaria de la Región Central de Cuba. Sus diferentes etapas

This present work refers to the history of the "Celestino Hernández Robau" Welfare Hospital in the Central Region of Cuba since the 1722-1723 to the present. Its development was very poor until, starting in 1959, with the triumph of the Revolution, the development of public health took a giant leap in number of beds, workers, increased budget and scientific development. In 1990 appeared the new Hospital "Arnaldo Milian Castro" and was divided among the workforce this new facility and the old.El presente trabajo refiere la historia del Hospital Asistencial “Celestino Hernández Robau” de la Región Central del Cuba desde los años 1722-1723 hasta la actualidad. Su desarrollo fue muy pobre hasta que, a partir del año 1959, con el triunfo de la Revolución, el desarrollo de la salud pública dio un salto gigantesco en número de camas, trabajadores, aumento del presupuesto y desarrollo científico. En 1990 apareció el nuevo Hospital “Arnaldo Milián Castro” y fue dividida la fuerza laboral  entre esta nueva instalación y la antigua

Adoption of Agricultural Conservation Practices in the Ignacio Agramonte Cooperative of Credits and Services (CCS), Nuevitas, Camaguey

The adoption of sustainable technologies, like Agriculture Conservation Practices in drought-stricken suburban areas is a must for land sustainable management. In order to contribute with the inclusion of this technology at the Ignacio Agramonte CCS, in El Carmen, municipality of Nuevitas, Camaguey, Agricultural Extension tools were used, like systemic diagnostic and participatory orientation. The SWOT matrix was created after three workshops, where agricultural conservation practices were identified for adoption, based on actual conditions at the CCS. As a result, five key problems were identified: lack of water for irrigation, saline waters, saline soils, use of inappropriate management technologies, deforestation and poor training in agriculture. The most critical impact found in the matrix was in Weaknesses - Threats (81.3%). Furthermore, local farmers, inhabitants and public officials agreed on the use of agricultural extension tools to provide positive elements and an effective way to help increase motivation and knowledge about agricultural conservation technology, as an alternative to mitigate the degradation state of lands at the CCS

Grass Availability in Ultramafic Cattle Areas.

Availability of grass in ultramafic cattle areas in Camaguey, Cuba, was determined. The research comprised the 2004-2013 period  in the rainy and dry seasons.  The area has  Brown Fersialitic Ferromagnesial Soil (Inceptisol-Cambisol). Total and individual  species’ availabilities  were tested using the practical variant of the Haydock and Shaw visual method for production areas.  Sampling was made at the beginning of each rotation (five in the rainy season and three in the dry season) at a rate of 100 observations/ha.  Forage balance was determined for the rainy and dry seasons, and the botanical composition was assessed using the steps method, and dry matter yields were determined in situ.  SPSS 15.0.1 was used to make the statistical analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis for Mean and Standard deviation were determined  for availability of each species.  Grass availability in the ecosystems is 5.15 t MS/ha, distributed in 2.83 t MS/ha in the rainy season; and 2.31 t MS/ha in the dry season. The forage balance showed a deficiency in feedstuffs in the two seasons, affecting milk production and the reproduction indicators

Native Pasture Quality in Cattle Raising Areas on Ultramafic Groundmass.

The quality of native pasture in cattle raising areas on ultramafic groundmass, in the municipality of Minas, Cama-güey, Cuba,  was assessed. The area studied has brown Fersialitic, ferromagnesial soil (Inceptisol-Cambisol). The climate is tropical humid. Dry matter, calcium, phosphorous and raw protein were estimated for compound samples of the predominant pastures, using an AOAC  methodology at the Provincial Soil Management, in Camagüey. De-scriptive statistics for the bromatological composition (mean and standard error) were determined, considering every species, season and group. Group comparison was made by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Legume quality in both seasons had protein levels above 7 % in all the cases; whereas graminaceae quality had values under that percent. In all the cases, the contents of P are insufficient to meet the minimum needs, and the protein and calcium values   are near the required limits for cattle

Agroproductive Evaluation of Moringa oleifera Lamin Hedges, under Edafo-climatic Conditions.

Agroproductive behavior of Moringa oleifera Lam was evaluated in edafo climatic conditions in Camagüey, Cuba, in a year-old hedge on typical gray-brown soil. This species contributes with 6.2 kg/year of green matter (MV) and 2.52 kg/year of dry matter (MS), with annual trimming, and 41.09 % of MS; 105 fruits per plant with 19.4 average of seeds per fruit, and approximately 2 037 seeds per plant. Wood production accounts for 0.029 m3 /plant and 19.34 m3 /km of hedges. M. oleiferaLam produces significant volumes of forrage and firewood, which valorize hedges in agriforestry systems
