This book presents an important contribution to the knowledge of the banana soils of Venezuela. Banana, the edible fruit of Musaceae, is a staple food for more than 400 million people worldwide due to their nutritional and energy attributes. This makes Musaceae a crop of worldwide relevance, particularly in tropical regions, highlighting the impact of improved Musaceae cropping systems in the current efforts worldwide oriented towards a new agricultural revolution based on sustainable intensification. To achieve this, better practices for food production based on scientific and technical research capable to consider the complexity and variability within the agri-food sector are necessary. The research presented in this book is oriented towards providing answers to the causes of two aspects considered of high relevance for banana production, both affecting productivity and sustainability, always addressed for the Venezuelan conditions, one of the world’s largest producing countries: 1- The impact of phytosanitary risks related to Fusarium Wilt (FW) and the influence of the soil on the incidence of Banana Wilt (BW); and 2- An observed trend towards loss of productivity and decline of soil quality in some commercial farms of Aragua and Trujillo states in Venezuela. The book presents a pioneering study in the application of categorical regression (CATREG) in the characterization of banana soils and analyses soil morphological variables, such as texture, dry consistency, biological activity, reaction to HCl, and type of structure to characterize soil productivity for growing healthy bananas. It develops, for the first time in Venezuela, risk analysis and climatic suitability maps for lethal wilt disease in bananas caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) Tropical Race 4 (TR4) (syn. Fusarium odoratissimum). Innovative machine learning techniques are used to predict BW so that future crop development can be done more efficiently and sustainably.

Agriculture Under Climate Change
Vulnerabilities and Adaptations in Venezuela
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 800 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book focuses on the intersection of climate change and agriculture, specifically addressing how climate variability and change impact agricultural systems in Venezuela. The main topics include climate variability, its effects on crop production, regional differences in agricultural vulnerability, and practical strategies for adaptation and mitigation. The book explores the challenges faced by Venezuelan farmers, from increasing temperatures and erratic precipitation to extreme weather events like droughts and floods. It also presents strategies for adapting agricultural practices, enhancing soil health, and improving water management to build resilience. This book is novel because no comprehensive work has been published before that addresses these issues in the Venezuelan context. It fills a significant gap in the literature by providing a localized, in-depth analysis of climate change’s impact on agriculture. The book is important because it offers farmers, policymakers, and researchers actionable insights into sustainable practices, aiming to solve the problem of increasing vulnerability in Venezuela’s agricultural sector. It provides solutions to ensure food security and environmental sustainability in the face of a changing climate.
