This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecological input for early stages of cacao development (Chuquizuta et al., 2025).

A study of 159 Gyr crossbred dairy cows under tropical conditions in Peru compared two estrus synchronization protocols (conventional PC9 vs. extended J-Synch6) for follicular timed induction (FTAI) and evaluated their relationship with heat stress index (THI) in seven critical phases of the program. Both protocols showed similar estrus and pregnancy rates, but J-Synch6 produced larger preovulatory follicles, and its estrus manifestation was more sensitive to hours without heat stress (THI < 72) and to stress peaks (THI ≥ 83) during the follicular growth phase (Vásquez et al., 2025).

This study phenotypically characterizes 74 wild accessions of Myrciaria dubia (camu camu) from the INIA ex situ germplasm bank to identify variability relevant for genetic improvement, conservation, and sustainable use programs. Morphological, physical, and fruit quality characteristics were evaluated, revealing a wide diversity that can be used to select genotypes with higher yield and quality Imán (Correa et al., 2025).

The study conducts a comprehensive review of the use of predictive models to strengthen food security in Latin America, with an emphasis on Colombia. It analyzes 65 studies published between 2014 and 2024 that apply algorithms such as Random Forests and Neural Networks to anticipate agricultural yields, manage climate risks, and optimize resources. The results show that agricultural, climatic, and technological variables predominate, while socioeconomic and nutritional dimensions are underrepresented. The article highlights the need to integrate multidimensional data to develop more robust models that strengthen the resilience and sustainability of food systems in the region.

This study evaluates the spatial distribution of cadmium (Cd) in soils cultivated with avocado (Persea americana) in different regions of Peru, identifying factors that influence its concentration, such as texture, pH, organic matter, and agricultural practices. It was determined that several areas have elevated levels of Cd, which represents a risk to food safety and exports, especially given the European Union's international standards (Solórzano et al., 2025).
