Esta experiencia docente tiene como objetivo proponer un modelo de gestión del conocimiento organizacional para el programa de capacitación desarrollado por el departamento de agrometeorología del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agrícolas (INIA) del estado Anzoátegui, Venezuela.  Se utilizó el protocolo de solución de problemas, derivado de la aplicación de ciclos de aprendizaje, denominado TADIR (Traducción, Análisis, Diseño, Implementación y Revisión). Se estableció la diversificación de las formas de promover las actividades, tareas, resultados, productos generados por el proyecto, antes, durante y posterior a su ejecución, de manera fácil y completa, así como la conciencia en la población sobre las bondades de la agrometeorológica y su importancia para el desarrollo agrícola del país. Los resultados de esta investigación pueden estar al servicio de la mi...

This teaching experience seeks to propose an organizational knowledge management model for the training program developed by the Agrometeorology Department of the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INAI, in Spanish) of the State of Anzoátegui, Venezuela. The problem solution protocol deriving from the application of learning cycles, TADIR (Translation, Analysis, Design, Implementation and Revision), was used. An array of different ways to promote activities, tasks, results, and products generated by the project was established before, during and after the execution in an easy and complete manner. The population was also made aware of the advantages of agrometeorology and its importance for the agricultural development of the country. The results of this research can be made directly or indirectly available to the same organization or any others who wish to take the challenge ...

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between the Visual Evaluation of Soil Structure (VESS) and soil properties that make its adoption widely used in agriculture. For this, 25 papers related to the VESS (2009-2022) were considered where the information of the authors, the soil property: bulk density (BD), total soil porosity (TP), soil penetration resistance (PR), macroporosity, microporosity, soil organic carbon (SOC), and mean weight diameter of stable aggregates (MWD). The sample size (n=120 cases), and the correlation coefficient were extracted. To measure this relationship, the correlation coefficient of all studies was contemplated. A meta-analysis was carried out to obtain a global measure of the correlation between the VESS and soil properties across the studies. In the first instance, a fixed effects model was fitted for the correlation (effect size, know...

The fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (syn. Fusarium odoratissimum) (Foc TR4) causes vascular wilt in Musaceae plants and is considered the most lethal for these crops. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), it was reported for the first time in Colombia (2019), later in Peru (2021), and recently declared in Venezuela (2023). This work aimed to analyze the evolution of Foc TR4 in Musaceae in LAC between 2018 and 2022. This perspective contains a selection of topics related to Foc TR4 in LAC that address and describe (i) the threat of Foc TR4 in LAC, (ii) a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of Foc TR4 in LAC, (iii) the current situation of Foc TR4 in Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela, (iv) medium-term prospects in LAC member countries, and (v) export trade and local food security. In this study, the presence of Foc TR4 in Venezuela and the possible c...
