“…Native avocados and avocado-like species, such as Persea schiedeana (Cruz-Castillo et al, 2017), are not produced in commercial orchards in the study region. In Temascaltepec and Coatepec de Harinas, State of Mexico, Hass avocado production predominates (97%), while native avocado is cultivated to a lesser extent (3%) (Sangerman-Jarquín et al, 2014).…”

“…In the future, avocado will be grown at higher and lower elevations, with less rainfall and in less suitable soil groups, which may lead to an increased application of fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation (Franco-Sánchez et al, 2018;Arima et al, 2022). In the State of Mexico, avocado producers require technology to control pests, weeds, and diseases (Sangerman-Jarquín et al, 2014), while, in Michoacán, water scarcity and the chemical contamination of groundwater are already problematic (Borrego & Allende, 2021). However, there is no information in this regard for Veracruz.…”

Objective: To characterize the avocado production system in Huatusco, Veracruz. Design/Methodology/Approach: Interviews based on the snowball method were applied to avocado producers in Huatusco, Veracruz. Meanwhile, fruit and water samples were used to perform a multiresidue analysis of pesticides. Results: The monoculture plantations are rainfed. They have a density of 100-150 trees ha-1. The Hass variety predominates in Andosols, with 5-100% slopes. Most of the producers (92%) carry out conventional management, applying pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Herbicides and brushcutters are used to control weeds. No pesticides were detected in the water samples, while Imidacloprid, Thiabendazole, and alpha-Cypermethrin were identified in a fruit sample, with 0.0038 ± 0.0014 mg/kg, 0.0022 ± 0.0009 mg/kg and 0.0703 ± 0.000 mg /kg concentrations, respectively. These concentrations fall within the limits allowed in Mexico. Study Limitations/Implications: A detailed and frequent sampling of avocado fruits should be carried out to determine pesticide residues. It is also necessary to analyze samples of running water near the orchards to prevent pollution. Findings/Conclusions: The empirical knowledge of the producers about the type of soil is more precise than the scientific classification: they identify five classes of soils beyond Andosols. Additionally, there is a marked inequality in land tenure, since large-scale producers (25% of all producers) own 86% of the established area. Although, in a preliminary sampling, pesticide concentrations did not exceed the limits of residues allowed in the avocado pulp, the number of pesticide applications should be reduced.

“…This variable negatively affects the income of the producer of deciduous fruit; according to our results, for each year of increase in the age of the producer, the income decreases by an average of 41.60 USD. A lower efficiency in the development of field work due to the age of the farmer directly affects the yield and profitability of the crop (Larqué et al, 2009;Sangerman-Jarquín et al, 2014;Viera et al, 2017). Furthermore, Sangerman-Jarquín et al (2014) point out that technological appropriation is highly correlated with the age of producers.…”

The province of Tungurahua is well known for the production of deciduous fruit trees in Ecuador, however, its production is impacted by some issues that affect productivity. The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a diagnosis of the production system of deciduous fruit trees in 6 locations in Tungurahua province. Surveys were carried out to obtain information on 117 production units (farms). A regression model was used to determine the relationship between the variables and their incidence in the production system. The results showed that peach (Prunus persica) is the fruit crop with highest yield (16.19 t ha-1), followed by apple (Malus domestica) (13.36 t ha-1) and pear (Pyrus communis) (13.15 t ha-1). Apple cultivars Emilia and Golden Delicious, cv. Uvilla of pear and Conservero Amarillo of peach were the most cultivated in Tungurahua. The main factors that influenced the farmer income were: Land area used for cultivation, reason for growing fruit trees, age of the producer, fruit selection and type of production. It is necessary to advocate to expand the cultivated land area of these fruit crops in order to satisfy local demand and compete with imports of these fruits.

“…They resorted to socioeconomic and technical variables such as grower's age and educational level, tenure type, labor type and its monetary value, associativity between growers, access to technical assistance, and type of phytosanitary management, among others. SANGERMAN-JARQuÍN et al (2014) also typified avocado farms in the state of Mexico (Mexico), using a similar approach to that of VÁSQuEZ et al (2011). The former studies described some of the main features of cv.…”

ABSTRACT: A typology of avocado cv. Hass farms was constructed based on information collected from productive units in Antioquia, Colombia. The study aimed to provide key information about the farms for those involved in the design of programs and public policies directed to growers. The data were scrutinized through Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Cluster Analysis. The sample was made up of 214 growers of the crop. Quantitative and qualitative variables were employed for the MCA, which rendered 40 dimensions, out of which 16 accounted for 70% of the total inertia (variance) found in the data. These 16 dimensions were used as input for the Cluster Analysis, which provided the following results: 52%, 32% and 15% of the farms were located in Clusters 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The identified farm types can be associated to peasant (Cluster 1) and commercial (Cluster 3) agricultural schemes, plus a transition between them (Cluster 2). The most discriminating variables regarding such categorization were: farm size, farm registry at ICA (Colombian Agricultural Institute), Avocado cv. Hass yield, labor source, presence of crops other than avocado, existence of formal commercial alliances and technical assistance type. The percentage of farmers belonging to grower organizations was high in the three clusters. Growers in Clusters 3 and 2 had established formal commercial alliances which enabled them to access better sale prices for the crop. A trend towards establishing cv. Hass as a monocrop is observed, which may threaten both crop biodiversity and the food security of peasant growers.
