La metodología presentada en este artículo permitió correlacionar el sellamiento del suelo y propiedades físicas como estabilidad estructural, velocidad de infiltración, suelo erosionado, escorrentía, resistencia normal y torsional, y distribución de agregados. Los resultados mostraron que los pa...

The application of biochar (biomass-derived black carbon) to soil has been shown to improve crop yields, but the reasons for this are often not clearly demonstrated. Here, we studied the effect of a single application of 0, 8 and 20 t ha?1 of biochar to a Colombian savanna Oxisol for 4 years (200...

Integrated pest management (IPM) has been widely promoted in the developing world, but in many regions its adoption rates have been variable. Experience has shown that to ensure IPM adoption, the complexities of local agro-production systems and context-specific folk knowledge need to be apprecia...

To guide soil fertility investment programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, better understanding is needed of the relative importance of soil and crop management factors in determining smallholder crop yields and yield variability. Spatial variability in crop yields within farms is strongly influenced b...

Se planteó un ensayo de campo para evaluar los efectos acumulados de la fertilización y la labranza en el cultivo de maíz y en pastos sin carga animal. Se evaluaron cambios en parámetros químicos y físicos del suelo en el primer centímetro de suelo de parcelas que se establecieron en 1995 en la f...
