“…Recently, extensive research on surface fertigation has been performed (Ebrahimian et al, 2014). These studies discussed fertigation performance and practices for improvement (Brunetti et al, 2018; Dai, Zhang, Xu, et al, 2017; Ojaghlou et al, 2020) and fertigation device development (García‐Saldaña et al, 2019; Li, Bai, et al, 2020). These successful applications would provide scientific support for implementing such a new technology.…”

Irrigation and fertilization are vital to increasing crop yield, but their application often exceeds crop requirements. Excessive fertilization under inefficient irrigation depletes the already scarce water resources while contributing to water pollution. To overcome these problems, the introduction of fertigation in combination with modern irrigation technologies has been promoted in the North China Plain (NCP), but farmers have been reluctant to adopt such technologies. To better understand the current situation and farmers' perceptions, we performed a case study in the People's Victory Canal Irrigation District (PVCID) of NCP. A field survey was carried out using a participatory approach, and field monitoring was conducted on a representative farm. We found that

“…In the forestry part, the availability of nutrients in the production of commercial forest species is addressed (Montero et al, 2019;Rodríguez et al, 2014;Santiago et al, 2016). The contributions on the production of crops are more prolific and include basic crops, fruits, grass AGRO PRODUCTIVIDAD and forage, citrus fruits and energy crops (Aguas et al, 2014;Alamilla et al, 2016;Andrés et al, 2017;Calzada et al, 2014;Espinosa et al, 2018;García et al, 2016;García et al, 2019;Grifaldo et al, 2019;Guillén et al, 2018;Gutiérrez et al, 2018;Hernández et al, 2016;Hernández et al, 2019;Ibarra et al, 2018a;Ibarra et al, 2018b;Jaimez et al, 2015;José et al, 2017;Mendoza et al, 2019;Mendoza et al, 2015;Rueda et al, 2016;Rueda et al, 2018;Sánchez et al, 2018;Valdes and Pérez, 2019;Villanueva et al, 2019. The current PTA challenges suggest that the subject matter of the study and generation of knowledge integrate experiences of stakeholders in a transdisciplinary research process (CP, 2017). Nevertheless, the results show scientific contributions oriented to increasing productivity, in congruency with the development of scientific research in the last 60 years that fosters a highly productive and profitable agriculture, although with environmental and social consequences (Sarandón, 2019).…”

Objective: Analyze the contemporary scientific contributions of the Masters and Doctorate Graduate Program in Tropical Agroecosystems (PTA) taught at the Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Veracruz, facing the current challenges of Mexican agriculture. Design/methodology/approach: A bibliographic search was carried out in SCOPUS and Web of Science, on papers (N = 92) published during 2014-2019 by PTA research-professors. A textual analysis was carried out using Nvivo Software to identify the scientific contributions, based on problematic categories suggested by FAO for Mexico. Results: Scientific contributions are more prolific in relation to the increment of agricultural productivity (66 %), to a lesser extent in sustainable practices (14.9 %), articulation of public policies (10.6%), and initiating in adaptation and mitigation of climate risks (8.5 %). Limitations of the study/implications: Findings excluded publications not indexed in SCOPUS or Web of Science or out of the analyzed period. Findings/conclusions: The PTA shows social relevance in the generation of knowledge, with scientific contributions to the current challenges of Mexican agriculture. However, they have mainly focused on increasing agricultural productivity; this does not allow the achievement of the challenges of the PTA towards research processes aimed at trans discipline. This suggests a new research role that approach disciplinary interfaces.

“…The application of plant nutrients via fertigation is a cost-effective and efficient method for the application of fertilizers that can improve productivity and decrease environmental pollution in comparison to conventional methods [9]. In addition, this kind of irrigation system trend enhances water use efficiency, reducing water consumption in crop production [10]. Avocado crops are mainly irrigated in Ecuador via flooding, and only a few orchards have irrigation system.…”

Avocado demand has increased in recent years due to the nutraceutical properties that this fruit has and its positive impacts on human health; however, avocado production also requires sustainable alternatives to improve its cultivation. The objective of this study was to carry out characterization of the mineral content and phytochemical compounds in avocado fruit of the Hass variety grown using sustainable agricultural practices in Ecuador. Our results show an increase in fruit quality traits, such as firmness, and in the content of soluble solids, protein, fiber, fat, carotenoids, Ca, Mg, Zn and stearic acid in the pulp of the avocado Hass variety, as well as an initial trend of yield increase with the application of sustainable practices. Moreover, antioxidant activity was associated with polyphenol content. There were positive correlations of Mg with K and Ca, and of flavonoids with linolelaidic, linoleic and linolenic acids. Overall, our results indicate that avocado can be used as a functional and nutritional food due to its phytochemical composition and the mineral content of its pulp, which contributes to the promotion of its consumption and encourages healthy eating. In addition, the use of sustainable practices, such as fertigation and the application of microorganisms, is also promoted for growing avocado.
