Objective: To determine the economically adequate fertilization dose for a castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) crop that improves the producer's benefits using the partial budgeting technique. Design / methodology / approach: The experiment was established at a site located 500 m from the Centro de Chiapas experimental field, with an altitude of 800 m. Two production factors were studied: nitrogen (40, 60, and 80) and phosphorus (20, 40, and 60) with three levels each. The treatments had nine combinations in a randomized complete block experimental design and four replications. Phenological and morphological variables, seed yield, and variable costs economic components were evaluated as a response. Results: With the average yields the obtained net benefits were determined; an adjustment of the benefits was made, and its dominance was determined. Four experiments were dominated, and five showed favorable profits for the producer. The 80-60-00 formulation had a return rate (RR) of 23 %. Conclusions: The 40-20-00, 40-40-00, 40-60-00, 80-40-00 and 80-60-00 formulations were dominant. The 80-60-00 formulation reported the highest RR, an increase in variable cost of US$9.64, like other doses of lower costs and benefits. For this dose, the net benefits increase was us$ 222.61.

Objective: To determine the stigma receptivity and the pollen viability in order to make manual crosses and obtain viable progeny in castor bean (Ricinus communis L.).Design/Methodology/Approach: Pollen viability tests were made on breeding materials by staining with acetocarmine solution. In elite materials, the receptivity of the stigma was evaluated with hydrogen peroxide. From the inflorescences, the male ones were removed and the female ones were preserved, which were covered with a glassine bag. After six days, they were checked and when they were considered receptive, manual pollinations were carried out between viable pollen materials and receptive stigma. The pollen of the male parent was impregnated in the stigmas and the inflorescence was covered again.Results: The breeding materials exhibited viable pollen since they were stained red. Whereas, the application of hydrogen peroxide to the stigmas of the elite materials showed bubbling, indicative that they were receptive. In 2014, 400 inflorescences were pollinated with 8 flowers on average and a fruit pollinated percentage of 61.21. In 2015, 245 inflorescences with 12 flowers on average and 61.24% of fruit were pollinated.Study Limitations/Implications: Temperature and relative humidity were fundamental factors for the success of castor bean fertilization.Findings/Conclusions: The elite castor bean materials presented receptive stigmas and the improved viable pollen materials. Manual crosses produced fruits and seeds. The fruits pollinated were 61%.

Objective: To determine the influence of fertilization on the growth and yield of five accessions of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) cultivated in a hydroponic system. Design/Methodology/Approach: Five outstanding accessions of the castor bean collection at COLPOS-Campus SLP were established: El Orito (EO), Encarnación de Díaz (ED), Salinas (SA), Ranchería de Guadalupe (RG) and San Luis (SL). The NPK (ppm) fertilization levels tested were: low (LL; 140, 50, 150), medium (ML; 210, 80, 250); high (HL; 280, 110, 350) and a control (NF; No fertilizer). The experimental design was a randomized blocks, with a 5x4 factorial arrangement (accession x fertilizer level). Results: The differences in grain production were only significant (?=0.05) between the NF control (31 g plant-1) and the three levels of fertilization (1103, 973 and 967 g plant-1, for LL, ML, and HL, respectively, with no differences among them). Regarding accessions, no differences were observed among them, having ED the highest yield (681 g plant-1). In the case of plant height, NF treatment reached 60 cm, while the other levels had an average height of 170 cm, with HL being the highest (180 cm). The highest oil content (38.4%) was obtained with the ML fertilization. Study Limitations/Implications: The present study had no obvious limitations. Findings/Conclusions: For seed yield, significant differences were found only between not fertilizing and fertilizing at any level. Between fertilized levels, however, the differences were not significant, as well as among accessions.

The predatory mite, Neoseiulus californicus(McGregor, 1954) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is one of the principal natural enemies of tetranychid mites in several countries, promoting efficient control of those mites in several food and ornamental crops. Pest attacks such as that of the spider mite, Tetranychus urticaeKoch, 1836 (Acari: Tetranychidae), is one of the problems faced by farmers, especially in the greenhouse, due to the difficulty of its control with the use of chemicals because of the development of fast resistance making it hard to control it. The objective of this work was to study the life history of the predatory mite N. californicus as a contribution to its mass laboratory rearing, having castor bean plant [Ricinus communis L. (Euphorbiaceae)] pollen as food, for its subsequent use as a natural enemy of T. urticae on a cultivation of greenhouse rosebushes. The studies were carried out in the laboratory, at 25 ± 2°C of temperature, 70 ± 10% RH and a 14 hour photophase. The biological aspects and the fertility life table were appraised. Longevity of 32.9 days was verified for adult females and 40.4 days for males. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was 0.2 and the mean generation time (T) was 17.2 days. The population doubled every 4.1 days. The results obtained were similar to those in which the predatory mite N. californicus fed on T. urticae.

<p>El chinche de encaje, Corythucha gossypii (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Tingidae), es un insecto plaga del algodón, pero ha sido reportado en más de veinticuatro hospederos, incluyendo higuerilla (Ricinus communis L). El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar si esta plaga disminuye el periodo de vida útil de las hojas, establecer la superficie de muestreo de la hoja que mejor representa las poblaciones de esta plaga y la eficacia de seis insecticidas para su control en higuerilla. La vida útil de las hojas fue negativamente influenciada por la presencia del insecto plaga; a mayor número inicial de insectos, menor fue el tiempo para la pérdida de hojas. La superficie del envés fue la que mejor representó la población de C. gossypii con un promedio ± Error Standard (ES) de 55,10 ± 4,76 de individuos y una correlación con la población total de 99,60%, R2 =0,99 y p &lt; 0,0001; comparado con 3,44 ± 0,57 individuos y una correlación de 66,32%; R2=0,44 y p &lt; 0,0001 para la superficie del haz. El orden de eficacia de control para 3 días después de la aplicación de los tratamientos fue tiametoxam + lambdacihalotrina (0,00%), spinetoram, (0,00%), malation (20,35%), tiametoxam (38,62%), dimetoato (86,94%) e imidacloprid (87,33%); para 7 días fue tiametoxam + lambdacihalotrina (0,00%), spinetoram (21,46%), malation (38,77), tiametoxam (50,84%), dimetoato (86,14%) e imidacloprid (90,37%). Los datos de muestreo, a partir de 16 días, presentaron una gran pérdida de unidades experimentales, lo que imposibilitó el análisis de los resultados, después de ese tiempo.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Effect of Corythucha gossypii on Castor Oil Plant Leaves: Sampling Criteria and Control by Insecticides</strong></p><p>The lace bug, also called the “cotton or bean lace bug”, Corythucha gossypii (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Tingidae) is a common pest from cotton. However it has been reported in another twenty four plant hosts including castor bean (Ricinus communis L.). This work aimed to establish if this insect pest can reduce the life-period of leaves, to assess which is the leaf surface that best represents the total pest population for sampling and to test the efficacy of six insecticides for C. gossypii control in a castor bean crop. The life-period of leaves was negatively affected by the presence of the insect, the larger the number of C. gossypii, the shorter their leaf life. The lower surface best represented the entire population of lace bug with a mean ± standard error of 55.10 ± 4.76, with a 99.60% of correlation, a R2=0.99 and a p &lt; 0.0001; compared to 3.44 ± 0.57, with a 66.32% of correlation, a R2=0.44 and a p &lt; 0.0001 for the upper surface. Efficacy of control after three days of insecticide application was: thiamethoxam + lambdacyhalothrin (0.00%), spinetoram, (0.00%), malathion (20.35%), thiamethoxam (38.62%), dimethoate (86.94%) and imidacloprid (87.33%). After seven days of insecticide application the efficacy was thiamethoxam + lambdacyhalothrin (0.00%), spinetoram (21.46%), malathion (38.77), thiamethoxam (50.84%), dimethoate (86.14%) and imidacloprid (90.37%). Results obtained after 16 days lacked many sampling unit leaves, which made their analysis meaningless, after that period of time. </p>

This study aimed to evaluate the allelopathic activity of aqueous extracts of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) leaves on germination and initial growth of canola (Brassica napus L.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings. Two experiments were conducted, usingcanola seeds for the first, which was installed in a 2x7 factorial scheme (with two photoperiods – dark and light and seven extracts concentrations - 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32%). The second experiment consisted of an evaluation of radish seed germination submitted to seven concentrations of the extracts in the dark photoperiod. The germination of the canola seeds was reduced in the dark, and the use of extracts at concentrations of 16% and 32%inhibited seeds germination for both studied photoperiods. The radish seed germination was completely inhibited when the concentration of 32% was used, however, at the concentrations of 4, 8 and 16% a reduction on rootand hypocoyl development of the seedlings were observed, affirming the high allelopathic potential of castor bean aqueous extracts on canola and radish.
