“…Además, se debe afrontar los desafíos asociados con la gestión de desechos agrícolas y la correcta administración de productos químicos empleados en la producción. La puesta en marcha de sistemas de gestión de residuos y la promoción de prácticas de producción limpia pueden ayudar a mitigar el impacto ecológico y asegurar la sostenibilidad a largo plazo (Pérez-Solache et al, 2023). La repercusión ambiental de la industrialización del aguacate es otro aspecto importante a tener en cuenta, ya que los residuos resultantes de la extracción de la pulpa del aguacate, como la cáscara y la semilla, pueden contaminar el suelo al ser enterrados, lo que produce acidificación y desertificación (Colombo & Papetti, 2019).…”

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo describir la situación actual y las perspectivas de la producción de palta peruana en el contexto del comercio internacional, a través de un diseño no experimental del tipo descriptivo. A partir de ello, se obtuvo que la producción y la exportación de palta peruana se mantiene en auge y con pronósticos positivos. Asimismo, en el 2021 el país cosechó 779 mil toneladas de palta y exportó 526 mil toneladas. Para el 2024, se espera un crecimiento del 10 % en las exportaciones respecto al 2023, con una proyección de exportación de 725 mil toneladas de palta fresca. El alza se atribuye a las inversiones previas y al fuerte compromiso de los productores locales y al incremento de la productividad de los campos. Las regiones de La Libertad, Lambayeque, Ayacucho y Huancavciones climáticas adversas en el 2023, la industria logró cumplir con sus estimaciones.

“…Insect herbivores are a major component of the world's biodiversity and are represented by the main trophic interactions of tropical communities [4]. In this context, herbivory is defined as plant consumption by insect herbivores, which is one of the most emblematic ecological processes in natural and anthropized communities [5][6][7]. In particular, herbivory is one of the most ubiquitous and pervasive biotic interactions on the planet [8], and herbivore species may belong to many different functional guilds, such as leaf chewers, branch borers, sap suckers, leaf miners, and gall-inducing insects.…”

Variations in plant genotypes and phenotypes are expressed in ways that lead to the development of defensive abilities against herbivory. Induced defenses are mechanisms that affect herbivore insect preferences and performance. We evaluated the performance of resistant and susceptible phenotypes of Bauhinia brevipes (Fabaceae) against attacks by the gall-inducing insect Schizomyia macrocapillata (Diptera). We hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between resistance to S. macrocapillata and host plant performance because resistance can have a high adaptive value. We evaluated plant architecture, nutritional leaf quality, leaf fluctuating asymmetry, and reproductive capacity between phenotypes. Plant performance was evaluated at three ontogenetic stages: seed, seedling, and juvenile. Overall, there were no differences in vegetative and reproductive performance or asymmetry between the resistant and susceptible mature plants. We found no relationship between leaf nutritional quality and resistance to S. macrocapillata. Plant performance was consistent across ontogeny for both phenotypes, except for five variables. Contrary to our expectations, the susceptible plants performed equally well or better than the resistant plants, suggesting that tolerance and overcompensation to herbivory in B. brevipes may be mediated by induced defense. Our study highlights the importance of multiple layers of plant defense against herbivory, where plant tolerance acts as a secondary barrier in plants susceptible to gall-inducing insects.

“…In Europe, avocado consumption per capita increased by approximately 180% between 2018 and 2020, projecting these values to a more significant increase by 2025 [31]. Due to the fact that avocado provides a high energy and nutrient content, the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) in the United States reported that avocado provides, per 100 g,141 kcal, 1.5 g of protein, 12 g of total lipids, 16 mg of calcium, 0.7 mg of iron, 2 µg of iodine, 41 mg of magnesium, 400 mg of potassium and 28 mg of phosphorus [32]. The global surge in consumption, coupled with an escalating demand, results in a significant increase in waste generated at every stage, from harvest to consumption.…”

Agroindustry waste has exponentially increased in recent years, generating economic losses and environmental problems. In addition, new ways to generate sustainable alternative electrical energy are currently being sought to satisfy energy demand. This investigation proposes using avocado waste as fuel for electricity generation in single-chamber MFCs. The avocado waste initially operated with an ambient temperature (22.4 ± 0.01 °C), DO of 2.54 ± 0.01 mg/L, TDS of 1358 ± 1 mg/L and COD of 1487.25 ± 0.01 mg/L. This research managed to generate its maximum voltage (0.861 ± 0.241 V) and current (3.781 ± 0.667 mA) on the fourteenth day, operating at an optimal pH of 7.386 ± 0.147, all with 126.032 ± 8.888 mS/cm of electrical conductivity in the substrate. An internal resistance of 67.683 ± 2.456 Ω was found on day 14 with a PD of 365.16 ± 9.88 mW/cm2 for a CD of 5.744 A/cm2. Micrographs show the formation of porous biofilms on both the anodic and cathodic electrodes. This study gives preliminary results of using avocado waste as fuel, which can provide outstanding solutions to agro-industrial companies dedicated to selling this fruit.
