Para cuantificar la composición porcentual real de las fracciones texturales en los suelos es necesaria la individualización de las partículas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar los porcentajes de frac-ciones granulométricas obtenidas con dos métodos de dispersión química en nueve muestras de suelos recolectadas en los departamentos de Córdoba y Sucre en la región Caribe colombiana, utilizando los métodos de Bouyoucos y pipeta. Como dispersantes se usaron soluciones de (NaPO3)6/Na2CO3 (calgón) y una mezcla propuesta constituida por pirofosfato de sodio 0.1M a pH 10 y calgón en una relación 2:1. Los resultados se analizaron utilizando el test de Leite y Oliveira (2002) además de pruebas de correlación. Se encontró relación significativa entre ambos métodos utilizando la mezcla propuesta para las fracciones de arena y arcilla, con valores de 0.97 y 0.89, respectivamente. Los menores contenidos de arena (26%) se obtuvieron utilizando el método de pipeta, seguido del dispersante propuesto con un valor de 28%. Los contenidos de arcilla promedios fueron 44 y 42% por el uso del dispersante propuesto y el método de pipeta.
The objective was to quantify the nutritional contents in seeds of different advanced genotypes of cowpea bean (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) in the soil of Montería-Córdoba, Colombia. Seeds of 40 lines or genotypes and two commercial varieties Caupicor 50 and ICA Betancí were evaluated as controls. A completely randomized block design was used with three repetitions for a total of 126 experimental units. The seeds were initially subjected to drying in a forced circulation oven at 70 ° C for 72 hours to quantify the nutritional content. The final nitrogen content was evaluated by initially submitting the seeds to digestion in concentrated sulfuric acid for 4 hours. It was subsequently quantified using the Kjeldahl method. Finally, to determine the content of microelements, 1 g of seed was subjected to digestion with nitric, perchloric acid (3:1), and they were quantified in a piece of atomic adsorption equipment. With the information recorded in the laboratory, an analysis of variance, contrasts, and tests of Tukey averages was performed at a 5% probability. The results indicate that it existed genetic variability and genotypes LC-041-016 and LC021016 were identified with 29.2 and 29.1%, with the highest protein content, being superior to Caupicor 50 and ICA Betancí that presented contents of 25, 7 and 25.5%. The genotypes L-047 with 216.3, followed by genotypes LCPM35 and LC027016, with 159.5 and 127.3 mg.kg-1 presented the highest iron content, and the commercial witnesses Caupicor 50 and ICA Betancí, content less than the above, and the content zinc and manganese were similar in all genotypes evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
