Bioecología del parasitoide Oòfago como agente de control biológico de Oebalus insularis Stal, 1872 (Hem: Pentatomidae) en el cultivo de arroz Oryza sativa L.
Rice (O. sativa) is one of the most important crops worldwide; however, its production is affected by various pests, including O. insularis, which feeds on developing grains, reducing yield and quality.
The present study aimed to analyze the bioecology of the oophagous parasitoid as a biological control agent of O. insularis in O. sativa rice crops in the Babahoyo canton of Los Ríos. For this research, at least 20 female parasitoids were used, separated into feeding and non-feeding groups. In this context, the Telenomus parasitoid was identified as a biological control agent. The feeding Telenomus sp. parasitoids had a mean pre-oviposition time of 1.45 ± 0.85 days, and the non-feeding ones had a mean pre-oviposition time of 1.41 ± 0.5 days. The mean oviposition for parasitoids with feeding was 1.59 ± 0.94 days of oviposition and without feeding it registered an average of 1.00 ± 0.00 days of oviposition. The longevity of Telenomus sp. parasitoids with feeding obtained an average longevity of 5.15 ± 3.15 days of longevity and without feeding an average of 2.18 ± 1.38 days of longevity, there being a difference between the parasitoids with feeding. It is concluded that it is very likely that the nectar secreted by the flowers lengthens the life of the oophagous Telenomus sp. parasitoids. The food that was provided to the parasitoids, such as honey provides sugars such as sucrose, glucose and fructose may contribute to the longevity of Telenomus sp. parasitoids. The incubation of oophagous parasitoids with food provided resulted in a mean incubation time of 12.67 ± 2.47 days, and without food, a mean incubation time of 12.02 ± 0.80 days. The natural parasitism rate determined that O. insularis oviposited at a mean height of 81.89 ± 16.60 cm, with a preference for the underside of the leaf in 80% and the upper surface in 20% of 12 clutches (n = 165 eggs). 50% were parasitized by Telenomus sp. (n = 82 eggs).Rice (O. sativa) is one of the most important crops worldwide; however, its production is affected by various pests, including O. insularis, which feeds on developing grains, reducing yield and quality.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la bioecología del parasitoide oòfago como agente de control biológico de O. insularis en el cultivo de arroz O. sativa en el cantón Babahoyo, Los Ríos. Para el desarrollo de esta investigación se trabajó con al menos una población de 20 parasitoides hembras, separados por grupos con alimentación y sin alimentación. En este contexto, se identificó al parasitoide del género Telenomus como agente de control biológico. Los parasitoides Telenomus sp. con alimentación tuvieron una media de pre-oviposición de 1.45 ± 0.85 días de pre-oviposición y sin alimentación con una media de 1.41 ± 0.5 días de pre-oviposición. La media de oviposición para parasitoides con alimentación fue de 1.59 ± 0.94 días de oviposición y sin alimentación registro una media de 1.00 ± 0.00 días de oviposición. La longevidad de parasitoides Telenomus sp. con alimentación obtuvo una longevidad media de 5.15 ± 3.15 días de longevidad y sin alimentación una media de 2.18 ± 1.38 días de longevidad, existiendo una diferencia entre los parasitoides con alimentación. Se concluye que es muy probable que el néctar que segregan las flores alarga la vida de los parasitoides oófagos Telenomus sp. La alimentación que se le proporcionó a los parasitoides como la miel brinda azúcares como sacarosa, glucosa y fructosa puede contribuir la longevidad de los parasitoides Telenomus sp. La incubación de los parasitoides oófagos donde se les proporcionó alimentación obtuvo una incubación media de 12.67 ± 2.47 días de incubación y sin alimentación una media de 12.02 ± 0.80 días de incubación. La tasa de parasitismo natural determinó que O. insularis oviposita a una altura media de 81.89 ± 16.60 cm, teniendo como preferencia el envés de la hoja en un 80 % y el haz un 20 % de 12 posturas (n=165 huevos), el 50 % estaban parasitadas por Telenomus sp. (n=82 huevos)

Gamificación digital y su impacto en el desarrollo cognitivo de los estudiantes de sexto año de EGB de la UE Isabela Católica, Babahoyo 2024-2025
The main objective of this Curricular Integration Project was to determine how digital gamification impacted the cognitive development of 6th grade students of the Isabela Católica Educational Unit, Babahoyo. The problem addressed was: ¿How does digital gamification impact the cognitive development of students? The research adopted a mixed approach to analyze the impact of the study phenomenon, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods. Thus, it not only allowed to establish direct relationships between the use of gamification and cognitive performance, but also to capture how gamified strategies impact motivation, learning and concept assimilation. Therefore, the results obtained show a discrepancy between students' positive perception of gamification and the lack of effective implementation in the classroom.
The study identified that, although gamification can be a powerful tool to capture students' attention and motivate them, its effectiveness depends on the design and contextualization of the activities. In addition, it was evidenced that a significant portion of students prefer interactive methods for learning, which justifies the need to strengthen the integration of digital strategies in teaching.The main objective of this Curricular Integration Project was to determine how digital gamification impacted the cognitive development of 6th grade students of the Isabela Católica Educational Unit, Babahoyo.

Caracterización de un sistema de producción cacaotera del cantón las Naves, provincia de Bolívar
Cocoa is a globally important crop, fundamental to the economies of producing countries, generating billions of dollars for the chocolate industry and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. In Ecuador, fine and aromatic cocoa boosts the local economy, improving the quality of life of producing communities and fostering sustainable development. This study aims to characterize the cocoa production system in the Las Naves canton, Bolívar province, Ecuador. To this end, a multidimensional approach was used that encompassed environmental, economic, and social aspects of the production units. In this research, the methodology is classified as descriptive and will be developed through a non-experimental design based on field research using surveys and interviews in the Las Naves canton with a population of 1,500 producers. A sample of 94 producers was obtained using the Scheaffer formula. The results obtained in this research work were from the social aspect, where it was established that agriculture is carried out primarily by people considered adults and older adults, because young people show little interest in cocoa farming. Regarding the economic sphere, it is reflected that farmers tend to own land, which provides them with greater security and stability in their productive activities. Furthermore, the cocoa variety cultivated by farmers is CCN51 because it produces more and has a better yield than domestic cocoa, making it more efficient for producers. Regarding the environmental aspect, the most commonly used agrochemicals by farmers are foliar fertilizers, and they work with associated crops. In addition to monoculture cocoa, they also have plantains and oranges. The limitations that producers face are pest infestations and the incidence of diseases in their crops. In conclusion, farmers want ongoing training, with a practical focus on the field, to improve their cultivation techniques and face agricultural challengesCocoa is a globally important crop, fundamental to the economies of producing countries, generating billions of dollars for the chocolate industry and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Los resultados obtenidos en el presente trabajo de investigación fueron en el aspecto social donde se estableció que la agricultura es ejercida principalmente por personas consideradas como adultos y adultos mayores, debido que los jóvenes muestran poco interés en la actividad del cultivo de cacao, respecto al ámbito económico se refleja que la tendencia de las tierras de los agricultores son propias, lo cual les brinda mayor seguridad y estabilidad en sus actividades productivas, además la variedad de cacao que cultivan los agricultores es el CCN51 por que producen más y tiene un mejor rendimiento, que el cacao nacional, lo que lo hace más eficiente para los productores, y en el aspecto ambiental los productos agroquímicos más utilizados por los agricultores son los fertilizantes foliares y trabajan con cultivos asociados aparte del cacao monocultivo cuentan con siembras de plátano y naranjas. Las limitaciones que enfrentan los productores son las infestaciones de plagas y la incidencia de enfermedades en sus cultivos. Como conclusión los agricultores quieren que se les capacite de manera continua, con enfoque práctico en el campo, para mejorar sus técnicas de cultivos y enfrentar los desafíos agrícola
