Scientists at the Department of Plastics in Agriculture Center for Research in Applied Chemistry (CIQA) develop sustainable agriculture projects low cost to encourage greater production in the field.
On the issue of pest control, the Department of Plastics in Agriculture works with resistance inductors and biofumigación to harm the environment as little as possible. In addition to these projects, said researcher working in the technique of solarization, with which they seek better control of weeds and soil pests and make this technology more accessible to small producers of vegetables and other crops.
As detailed, Dr. Ricardo Saldivar Hugo Lira, C researcher at the Department of Plastics in Agriculture CIQA and level I of the National System of Researchers (SNI), this technology involves applying a transparent plastic film that lets in sunlight but does not allow it escape, thereby creating a "greenhouse effect", It is causing a significant increase soil temperature of zero to 50 centimeters deep, and causes a lethal effect on the seed bank and pathogenic soil load.
"It is necessary that institutions of higher education and research centers we link us with the producers so we can land what one publishes research articles", pointed Lira Saldivar.
