Alternativas de control para mancha marrón (Bipolaris oryzae) en el cultivo de arroz (Oryza sativa L.) en el Ecuador
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a very important cereal worldwide. It generates employment for many families, adapts to diverse climatic conditions, and has a high nutritional value. Of the fungal diseases present in rice-growing areas, brown spot, caused by the fungus Bipolaris oryzae, represents a serious threat to the rice sector. This study aims to analyze control alternatives for brown spot in rice cultivation in Ecuador. This study consists of an exploratory research, with a non-experimental and bibliographic-documentary design, since no variables were manipulated. It was based on the collection, analysis, and interpretation of information from high-quality documents that allowed the synthesis, analysis, and summary of the collected information. The relevant topics on control alternatives for brown spot B. oryzae in rice cultivation (Oryza sativa L.) in Ecuador were specified. According to the analysis presented, it was determined that the life cycle of B. oryzae, the pathogen, begins its attack process in rice crops by dispersing its conidia. B. oryzae has a very complex life cycle that extends from sporulation to dispersal and penetration into rice tissues. For this reason, alternative control methods are necessary, such as Trichoderma spp. strains at 0.75 kg/ha, which act as biocontrol agents of the causative agent of this disease. The application of chemical fungicides, such as triazole at 500 cc/ha, azoxystrobin at 0.6 L/ha, and chlorothalonil at 0.8 L/ha (in single groups), has proven effective in critical rice crop situations.Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a very important cereal worldwide.

En este estudio de caso, cuyo objetivo es poder examinar la cartera improductiva de la Cooperativa de Ahorra y Crédito Juan Pío de Mora durante el periodo 2023 se enfoca en evaluar la cartera de créditos y como esto tiene cierto impacto en la estabilidad financiera de la institución. Durante el 2023, se evidenció una variación en la cartera improductiva a comparación del periodo anterior, reflejando un incremento tanto en aquellos créditos que no devengan intereses como en aquellos que se encuentran vencidos, por lo que este aumento señala una mayor morosidad y por ende se considera como un riesgo para la Cooperativa. Mediante los análisis realizados, se logró identificar que el manejo que se tiene dentro del área de créditos y cobranzas presenta varias deficiencias, lo que ocasiona una acumulación de créditos improductivos y posteriormente al deterioro de la cartera. Los resultados también muestran que dentro de la Cooperativa no se ha implementado políticas que sean efectivas para intentar prevenir el deterioro de los créditos, ni ha podido establecer procesos de cobranzas que sean eficientes. Adicionalmente, se destaca lo importante que es revisar y mejorar los mecanismos de cobranza, indicando de esta forma que la Cooperativa debe adoptar políticas más estrictas y optimizar su proceso de recuperación de la cartera para reducir la morosidad. De esta manera, se busca mitigar riesgos financieros y a su vez, asegurar la sostenibilidad de la entidad. Los resultados obtenidos se alinean con teorías de expertos en el área, quienes coinciden en que una adecuada gestión de la cartera de crédito es esencial para la estabilidad financiera de cualquier entidad
Efecto de bioestimulantes sobre la producción de pepino híbrido (Cucumis sativus) en la zona de San Juan, Los Ríos
Ecuador is a highly productive country in agricultural terms, since it has very fertile lands and a variety of climates in which different types of crops thrive. Cucumber is one of the crops that grow very well in Ecuadorian territory. This vegetable grows mainly in the provinces of Loja, Tungurahua, Los Ríos and Manabí. In this context, to preserve this high demand productivity, biostimulants are used, which are a variety of articles that present active ingredients, and work on the physiology of crops, increasing their yield. The objective of the work was to determine the effect of biostimulants on hybrid cucumber production. For this purpose, three biostimulant products were proposed: Stimplex, Allstar and Phylum-Max in different concentrations. A randomized complete block design was applied with 7 treatments and three repetitions. The variables studied were related to growth and fruit production. The results indicate that the application of foliar biostimulants has marked influences on the agronomic behavior of the cucumber crop. The plants treated with Stimplex at a dose of 1.0 l/ha presented greater lateral and vertical growth, number of flowers, increase in effective fruits, fruit diameter, increase in fruit weight and cucumber fruit production (22.65 t/ha) in relation to the rest of the treatments. No statistical differences were found in the variables days to flowering and days to harvest. The greatest economic benefit was achieved with applications of Stimplex 1.0 l/ha.Ecuador is a highly productive country in agricultural terms, since it has very fertile lands and a variety of climates in which different types of crops thrive.

Caracterización fenotípica de nueve líneas promisorias de arroz (Oryza sp.) de grano largo en la zona de CEDEGE, província de Los Ríos
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a global staple food and a crop of great economic importance. The general objective was to determine the phenotypic traits of different lines, and the specific objectives were: 1) to evaluate agronomic and productive characteristics of nine cultivars against a control, and 2) to select the best-performing lines. Analysis of variance and Tukey's test were applied. The trial included three replications and the cultivars L-12, L-33, L-17, L-19, L-3, L-27, L-07, GR, and SFL-11 (commercial control). Variables such as number of tillers, plant height, length and number of panicles, 1000-grain weight, yield per hectare, and grain quality (with and without hull) were analyzed. Data were obtained through direct observation and physical measurements. The analysis showed significant differences in yield (p = 0.0019), with SFL-11 having the highest yield (6281.19 kg/ha) and L-12 the lowest (2045.52 kg/ha). There were no significant differences in plant spacing (p = 0.509) or row spacing (p = 0.9514). Hulled grain length was highly significant (p < 0.0001), with L-17 being the longest (10.16 mm) and GR the shortest (9.17 mm). There were also differences in grain width (p < 0.0001), with SFL-11 (2.63 mm) and GR (1.92 mm) standing out. Significant differences were also observed in hulled grain. Three outstanding lines were selected: SFL-11, L-33 (5571.1 kg/ha), and GR (4629.61 kg/ha). Further research on L-33 and GR is recommended due to their potential.Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a global staple food and a crop of great economic importance.

Importancia de los abonos orgánicos en el cultivo de pepino (Cucumis sativus, L.) en el Ecuador
Ecuador, cucumber cultivation faces many difficulties, such as: seed selection, use or not of appropriate soils for planting, the need to make physical supports to hold the plants, irrigation provision, high incidence of pests and diseases, organic or chemical fertilization, perishability of the fruits, low prices of crops, among other difficulties. The objective of this work was to highlight the importance of the use of organic fertilizers in cultivation, to point out one of the main difficulties of this kind of cultivation. This work was proposed as a bibliographical, non-experimental research, and the methodology used was the consultation of texts, magazines, scientific articles, review of specialized digital sites, among other sources. The information was analyzed, synthesized and summarized to structure a document that is easily understood by any reader. In the main, the results of the research revealed that the application of organic fertilizers not only enhances the physical-chemical characteristics and fertility of the soil, but also favors the resistance of plants to the attack of pests and diseases; to which we must add the greater retention of humidity, also contributing to having a more balanced and healthy environmental ecosystem. The main recommended organic fertilizers are: manure, compost, worm humus and bioles. Also, the application of these good agronomic practices saves the investment and expense of the crop because they are cheaper compared to the expense in chemical fertilizers. The conclusions highlight that the orientation towards the use of organic fertilizers makes cucumber cultivation, as a crop and as a financial source, more sustainable and sustainable, to which we must add the added value that means benefiting the environment. In addition, this study recommends the intervention of public and private agricultural institutions and organizations to join forces to provide technical training to small farmers so that they use organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers, safeguarding the health and safety of this food that is widely consumed by the Ecuadorian population.Ecuador, cucumber cultivation faces many difficulties, such as: seed selection, use or not of appropriate soils for planting, the need to make physical supports to hold the plants, irrigation provision, high incidence of pests and diseases, organic or chemical fertilization, perishability of the fruits, low prices of crops, among other difficulties.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue destacar la importancia de la utilización de los abonos orgánicos en el cultivo, para señalar una de las principales dificultades de esta clase de cultivo. Este trabajo se lo planteó como una investigación bibliográfica, no experimental, y la metodología que se utilizó fue la consulta de textos, revistas, artículos científicos, revisión de sitios digitales especializados, entre otras fuentes. La información fue analizada, sintetizada y resumida para estructurar un documento que sea fácilmente comprendido por cualquier lector, En lo principal, los resultados de la investigación revelaron que la aplicación de abonos orgánicos no solo potencian las características físico-químico y la fertilidad del suelo de cultivo, sino que también favorece la resistencia de las plantas al ataque de plagas y enfermedades; a lo que hay que agregar la mayor retención de la humedad, contribuyendo además a tener un ecosistema ambiental más balanceado y sano. Los principales abonos orgánicos recomendados son: estiércol, compost, humus de lombriz y bioles. También, la aplicación de estas buenas prácticas agronómicas ahorra la inversión y el gasto del cultivo pues son más económicas en comparación con el gasto en fertilizantes químicos. Las conclusiones destacan que la orientación al uso de abonos orgánicos hace que el cultivo de pepino sea, como cultivo y como fuente financiera, más sostenible y sustentable, a lo que hay que adicionar el valor agregado que significa beneficiar al medio ambiente. Complementariamente, este estudio recomienda la intervención de las instituciones y organismos agrícolas públicos y privados para sumar esfuerzos en pro de la capacitación técnica de los pequeños agricultores para que utilicen los abonos orgánicos en lugar de los fertilizantes químicos, salvaguardando la sanidad e inocuidad de este alimento que es muy consumido por la población ecuatoriana
