Manejo de tizón tardío (Phytophthora infestant (Mont.) de Bary) en el cultivo de papa cv calwhite en época de apante en la zona de Tisey, Esteli. 2007

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue la evaluación de diferentes estrategias de alternancia de fungicidas de contacto con fungicidas sistémicos. Además, se alternó el fungicida biológico Serenade 1.34 SC ( Bacillus subtilis QST 713) con los fungicidas de contacto Mancozeb y Bravonil para determinar el efecto de ésta en el manejo de tizón tardío en época de apante. El trabajo experimental se llevó a cabo en la localidad Tisey (Reserva Natural), del departamento de Estelí en el periodo comprendido entre noviembre del 2006 a febrero del 2007. La variedad de papa evaluada fue CalWhite, la cual es susceptible a tizón tardío. El diseño utilizado fue bloques completamente al azar con cinco tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones. Los tratamientos evaluados en este estudio fueron (Mancozeb+Serenade) - Equation Pro (Bravonil+Serenade) - Ridomil, (Mancozeb+Serenade)- Curzate, (Bravonil+Serenade) - Verita y un testigo absoluto. El manejo agronómico fue el que utiliza el productor. Las variables evaluadas fueron severidad y rendimiento. Con los datos de severidad se calculó el área bajo la curva de progreso de la enfermedad (ABCPE). No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre bloques para la variable severidad de tizón tardío, ni en la interacción tratamiento - bloque, pero si se observó diferencias altamente significativas entre tratamientos. La media de severidad en el tratamiento testigo fue más alta en comparación con las medias de los otros cuatro tratamientos, lo cual explica la diferencia entre tratamientos. Sin embargo, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en las medias de severidad de los tratamientos diferentes del testigo. Cuando se analizó la severidad en los tratamientos de acuerdo a la variable días después de la siembra (dds) se observaron diferencias altamente significativas entre tratamientos, en la variable dds y en la interacción tratamientos*d ds. Se encontraron diferencias altamente significativas entre el testigo y los demás tratamientos y entre días después de la siembra (dds) para los valores de la variable área bajo la curva de progreso de la enfermedad (ABCPE), así como también en la interacción tratamientos*dds. La mezcla del fungicida biológico Serenade 1.34 SC ( Bacillus subtilis QST713) con los fungicidas de contacto Mancozeb y Bravonil al parecer tuvo un efecto sinergístico al inhibir el desarrollo de P. infestans sobre la superficie de las hojas de papa. Los rendimientos fueron bastantes bajos en comparación con otros resultados encontrados en América Latina con la variedad de papa CalWhite. Es posible reducir los porcentajes de severidad de tizón tardío en el cultivo de papa cuando se combinan estrategias de rotación de fungicidas de contacto y sistémicos con la época de siembra.

Estimación de pérdidas agrícolas, industriales y económicas en el cultivo de la caña de azúcar causadas por Diatraea spp (Fab) en el Ingenio "Victoria de Julio"

Se llevó a cabo el estudio de las perdidas agrícolas, industriales y económicas que ocasionan los taladradores del genero Diatrea en Zafra 1986-1987 en el Ingenio “Victoria de Julio” con el objetivo de cuantificar estas pérdidas y valorar la influencia de éste género sobre las cantidades de azúcar que se deja de percibir a causa de su ataque sobre el cultivo de la caña de `azúcar. La investigación se realizó en cuatro variedades (L-723,, JA-60-5,- L-6840 y L-6890) que representan actualmente un 95.77% del total del área sembrada en este ingenio y se utilizaron cuatro repeticiones en cada una de ellas, obteniendo los resultados en firma independiente. Realizamos el análisis bajo las pruebas de Tukey, el que nos llevó hasta obtener los resultados de las pérdidas: Los valores obtenidos muestran que no hay diferencia significativa entre las variedades con lo que respecta al porcentaje de infestación e índole de infestación, no siendo así al analizar el porcentaje de intensidad de daño pues se pudo comprobar que existen diferencias significativas y altamente significativas entre la variedad L-723 y las variedades L-6840 y Ja60-5.- De esta forma, al obtener un dato toral de las pérdidas económicas, estas ascienden a la cantidad de $ 14.674.58 (Catorce mil seiscientos setenta y cuatro dólares con cincuenta y ocho centavos) lo que significa una reducción en la captación de divisas para nuestro país.

The survey of Lake Victoria's fishers

The findings are presented of a survey conducted regarding the fishers of Lake Victoria, which examined the relationships affecting supply flows of raw material on to the market, and also the characteristics of fishing activities and their effects on fish quality and distribution. Fish marketing plays a vital role in the lives of much of the lake basin's population, both in terms of employment and nutrition. The results of the survey comprise, in part, a base-line data set which will facilitate further research, analysis and management decision-making in relation to stakeholders of the lake's resources. Data collection, methods and research difficulties encountered are described and details given of a profile of a boat owner/renter and aslo of a profile of a crew member. The survey shows that Lake Victoria's fishery is one of very limited diversity. The fishers recount that they consistently target one or more of the 3 most common species within the lake (Nile perch, tilapia and dagaa) and very rarely consider any other species type. The largest proportion of fishers on the lake are Nile perch fishers; there is considerable demand for this species, and hence fishers have little incentive to either target alternative fish species, not to try and establish firm marketing outlets through the creation of arrangements with their principal buyers. In Kenyan waters, however, the number of Nile perch fishers is equaled by the number of dagaa fishers; this fish now commands a considerable portion of the market for fish from Lake Victoria through its availability as well as its relatively low prices. The tilapia fishery is in decline, and all 3 riparian states would not appear to be attracting investment almost certainly as a result of declining catches. For many of those working in Lake Victoria's fishery, the problems faced appear most often to be associated with the vagaries of an unstable market which may rise or fall depending on the state of the international market or the state of access roads to fish landings.

Water quality and nutrient dynamics - Lake Victoria, Kenya

Limnological studies in Lake Victoria (Kenyan portion) have been sporadic. Water quality and nutrient dynamics studies are being undertaken in fifteen sampling sites that have been divided into four ecological zones namely: Nyanza Gulf, Rusinga Channel, open waters inshore and open waters. The ongoing study will show how the physical and chemical paramenters affect fish distribution and abundance.

Fisheries management in the social domain: perspectives from Tanzania's Lake Victoria fishery

For a long time, the Tanzanian Fisheries Department has managed Tanzanian fisheries without incorporating other stakeholders within its management framework. On lake Victoria, the persistent use of illegal fishing gear and declining catches have led the government to realize that this system of fisheries management may no longer be viable, and have sought to incorporate fishing communities into the management structure. Through the creation of beach management units (BMUs), the Fisheries Departments have sought to persuade fishing communities to implement and enforce Tanzania's fishing regulations and to monitor the fishery. In this paper we explore a recently gathered data set that yields information on, amongst others, how Tanzanian fishing communities perceive the state of their resource base, how they view their relationship with the Fisheries Department, the efficacy of fishing regulations and other variables. We draw on a series of criteria developed by Ostron (1990) for institutional 'robustness' to explore various areas of institutional development on Lake Victoria, and to try and anticipate how the BMUs will fare. We argue there are many socio-political and economic factors that will determine how communities will receive and perceive their responsibilities towards government-imposed administrative structures at the local level, these will become 'socialized' such that they will vary from place to place. While this may bode well for problems of heterogeneity, it does not necessarily mean that fisheries management objective on Lake Victoria will be met

Regulation in Uganda's Lake Victoria fishery: historical and contemporary conditions

This paper sets out to explore how Uganda's lake Victoria fishery has been managed. It explores the management of the fishery during the protectorate period, and argues that the apparent success of regulation during this time may be attributed to the very heightened controls arising from Sleeping Sickness Controls. Once these were removed, entry into the fishery was rapid and uncontrolled, and the resultant impact on fish stocks was quickly felt. With its huge area, considerable shoreline, and innumerable islands, the lake Victoria fisheries service was quickly overwhelmed and disbanded as a result. In the early independence years, the Republic's government focused on developing the fishery, plans thwarted by turmoil of, and following, Idi Amin's reign. More recently, the fishery has prospered from Uganda's entry into the Nile perch fillet export market, which ahs adversely affected stocks. We present and comment on recently collected data that considers fishers' impressions of the status of the fishery, regulations and future managerial possibilities, and comment on these in the light of recent changes to Uganda's fisheries administration

Fisheries legislation of Lake Victoria: present legislation and new developments

This paper provides an overview of fisheries legislation in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania as far it concerns the administration of Lake Victoria's fishery. It also provides brief comment on the structure of these nations' fisheries departments and how they have evolved in recent years. The administration of Kenya's Lake Victoria fishery has changed very little since the introduction of the 1988 Fisheries Act. In Tanzania and Uganda, however, government policies of decentralization have had a profound impact on fisheries administration at a local level. This paper examines these changes and speculates about possible future management scenarios for these two countries

Some aspects of the ecology and reproduction of the small pelagic cyprinid, Rastrineobola argentea in Lake Victoria

This study concentrated on the reproductive biology of the small pelagic cyprinid Rastrineobola argentea. The results indicate that this fish is an inshore spawning species, which agrees with other recent studies. It was also found that in areas where fishing intensity was likely to be relatively high, the size at first maturity of R. argentea was reduced, which is likely to be an effect of the fish altering its reproductive strategy according to life history theory. The CPUE results showed a general trend of decreasing with distance from shore, however areas less than one kilometer from the shore were not sampled. Evidence was also found suggesting that the cestode parasite, Ligula intestinalis had an adverse effect on the maturation and fecundity of R. argentea. Some management options concerning the findings in this study are also briefly discussed. (PDF has 82 pages)

The distribution and abundance of Copepoda and Cladocera in the Lake Victoria, Kenya

Fourteen stations were sampled in the Kenyan waters of Lake Victoria in order to assess distribution and abundance of zooplankton. Seven stations were selected in the Nyanza gulf while the rest were in the open waters of the lake. Zooplanktons samples were collected monthly from November 1998 to January 1999, using a 1.5 m long Nansen type plankton net of 243 mu m mesh size and 50 cm diameter. Representative specimens were dissected and identified to species level

Community-based organizations on Lake Victoria: a lesson from the Tweyambe Fishing Enterprise in Muleba District, Kagera Region, Tanzania

This paper is aimed at government, non-government organizations, intergovernmental organizations and the general public as they work toward the development of their individual strategies and action plans. It has been recognized that community-based organizations have a particular relevance to the pursuit of sustainable resource management and may well contribute to the foundations of self-sustenance. Women on Lake Victoria, Tanzania presently face great challenges within the fishery. These include the lack of capital, interference by men, theft of fishing gear, time constraints and socio-cultural problems. In recent years, the fish trading and marketing sectors of the fishery, which have traditionally been dominated by women, have seen large incursions by male entrepreneurs. This move has endangered the role of women within the fishery. This paper focuses on the Tweyambe Fishing Enterprise (TFE), a well-known women's group based in Kasheno village in the Muleba District of Kagera Region in northwestern Tanzania. Inhabitants from the Haya ethnic group who make up some 95% of the population of Kagera Region dominate this village. The TFE has a series of initiatives aimed towards ecologically sound self-development
