The objective of the current paper was to examine the scientific production contained in the «Revista de Protección Vegetal» in the period 2000-2012by using bibliometric indexes of production and consumption. With data collected from each paper published, a database was built with the type of document, the language used, the authors and their affiliations, and the topic discussed. The references used were also examined, and the year of publication, the type of document and the language used were considered. In total, the database contains 464 papers and 7 340 references. In each volumen, an average of 35 papers were published, with more than 50% as original papers; the predominant language was Spanish. Productivity was low in 60.53% of the authors, medium in 33.44%, and only 6.07% of them were highly productive. The analysis of the references cited in the papers presented a low Price's index (32.03%) with a decreasing trend. Biological control, mass rearing of natural enemies, studies on pest bioecology and diagnosis methods were the more frequent topics approached. Of the references consulted, 63.99% were papers in scientific journal, followed by books (12.75%) and conference papers (7.60%). Sixty five per cent of the references were in English, and they showed a low isolation rate (23.9%). The results achieved during the period examined showed a steady rise of the journal visibilityafter its inclusion in the Scientific Electronic Library Online and the more recent incorporation to the Directory of Open Access Journals, with an impact factor increasing from 0.15 in 2010 to 0.23 in 2011.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emission estimation derived from the application of synthetic fertilizers using default emission factors and in a homogeneous way throughout the country for the Inventories of Greenhouse Gases of Argentina do not reflect local productive characteristics and the regional differences. The objectives of this study were a) to disaggregate synthetic nitrogen (N) data by region, crop and weather, b) to analyze and synthesize the state of the art of research in Argentina about the development of local N2O emission factors (FE) for synthetic fertilizers application. For the first objective, a methodology was developed that consists of multiplying the average N dose applied per region by the area sown per crop. For the second, a compilation of scientific papers published in national and international journals was carried out. It was possible to disaggregate the N application data by district and crop by crossing different sources of information: 36.7% of N at country level is applied in the Province of Buenos Aires, 26.3% in Córdoba, 12% in Santa Fe and 7.3% in Entre Ríos. Corn (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are the crops with the highest application of N (33.9 and 23.3% respectively). Concerning the state of the art of local research, we found 11 papers that allow us to propose FE for direct N2O emissions, and 15 that allow us to estimate volatilization or leaching fractions that result in indirect N2O emissions. The average values estimated and reported from the literature were 0.0124 kg N2O-N (kg N)-1(direct N2O emission factors), 0.081 kg N volatilized (kg N)-1(volatilization fraction) and 0.244 kg N (kg N)-1 (leaching fraction). Compared to the values used in the National Inventory, the difference is up to 25%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Chromatography permits chemical components' separation, identification, and quantification in complex mixtures. Chromatographic methods have various applications, which include the determination of an agrochemical solvent percentage and its utilization in the food-processing industry. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) are essential for agriculture. Both types are used in numerous research studies today thanks to their versatility, sensitivity, reproducibility, and quickness. Aim: To discuss the main results of studies that include GC and HPLC in agriculture. Materials and methods: The study relied on a compilation of recent papers, where these techniques play a critical role in this area of science. Results: The utilization of GC and HPLC in agriculture contributed to relevant results, from the analysis of fatty acids profile in the formulation of a diet for animal nutrition, to the determination and quantification of agrochemical residues in plants, the detection of contaminants in the diets, and drug residues that compromise the lives of animals. Conclusions: The use of chromatography is an essential methodology for biochemical, toxicological, structural, and agro-industrial studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A case of wild species management. In La Pampa province, tucotucos (Ctenomys azarae) cause economic losses in alfalfa productive systems under pressurized irrigation. As a management strategy, biological control with birds of prey is promoted. Since this problem is based on humanwildlife interaction, the study of social aspects is paramount. The aim of this paper was to study the attitudes and perceptions of the social component in order to define level of damage and selected method efficiency to control tucotucos. Workers were surveyed to define the productive problem and determine their level of knowledge about tucotucos and birds of prey. Moreover, the attitudes of rural workers during the study and the execution of the biological control project were documented. The damage caused by tucotucos represents between 0.6 and 7 % of the annual earnings by the selling of alfalfa big bales. The damage is mainly quantified in the cost and number of harvesting machinery blades that have to be replaced and the reduction of the big bales quality. Workers see biological control as an opportunity to face the problem and recognize their ecological role. Social participation in the project improves the understanding of the biological intervening situation and favors the application of management practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is no doubt that the European Economic Community (1958), which became the European Union in 1995, is the integrationist scheme with the greatest global scope in the modern era. However, its evolution has not been free of ups and downs, expressing the very contradictions inherent to the phenomenon and the manifestation of the different realities faced by its members over time. There are many examples of the actions implemented by the European project with a view to strengthening its global hegemonic role, but the Common Agricultural Policy, the implementation of the euro as the common currency of a large part of the members and the increase in the number of participants stand out for their scope and implications. The analysis of these three aspects constitutes the main objective of this paper, from which the connotation of the process and its multiple global consequences are derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the authors propose a simplified model for the calculation of degree days for different time scales and variable base temperature. It is summarized in six expressions that result in a simple, compact and easy to program model in any spreadsheet. Its main advantage lies in the integrated calculation of degree days for daily, monthly and annual time scales, which makes it attractive for its application in strategic sectors of the economy such as the electro-energy, construction and agriculture sectors. It is applicable to regions for which the values of the regression coefficients necessary for the determination of the equivalent temperature (parameter defined by the authors, valid for a given geographical region) have been previously fixed. These coefficients have been determined for the areas surrounding the Yabú meteorological station, belonging to the province of Villa Clara, for the territory covered by this province and for the whole territory of the Cuban archipelago. Two versions of the model are presented, a base version and an extended one; the first one uses as input variables the mean temperature, the mean minimum temperature and the mean maximum temperature, according to the time scale to be considered, the second one allows its application by introducing the mean temperature as the only input variable. The difference in accuracy between these versions is not significant, so both are recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following article has as objective to analyze the emergence in El Salvador of family farming and the social category family farmer. To that purpose, this article uses mainly two theoretical concepts: family farming and policy transfer. Evidence suggests that the appropriation of the social category "family farmer" in El Salvador responds to an update of formerly used concepts small producer or commercial producer. Hence, it's not possible to find technical, theoretical or methodological grounds to justify the use of family farmer as new social category in El Salvador. The adoption of family farmer comes as a result of a policy transfer enhanced by three vectors: political affinity between Brazil's and El Salvador's presidents, bureaucrat's paper and work performed by intergovernmental organizations.
