The microalgae Chlorella sp. have demonstrated efficiency in the removal of pharmaceutical contaminants. However, there is no agreement on the inoculum dose since it depends on the contaminant concentration and other very specific parameters in each case. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Chlorella sp. inoculum doses on ethinylestradiol (EE) removal from wastewater treatment plant effluent in Celendín district of the province of Celendín, Cajamarca region, Peru. Four doses of inoculum (0, 100, 200, and 300 mL) were tested at a 2,1x10⁶ cell∙mL⁻¹ microalgae cell concentration and 4 mg∙L ⁻¹ of ethinylestradiol in photobioreactors. The final concentration of ethinylestradiol was determined after 20 days through High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). It was evidenced that a dose of 300 mL∙L ⁻¹ of Chlorella sp. could remove 96,49% of ethinylestradiol from wastewater, unlike the other tested concentrations, which were below 80,92% removal. It was concluded that at a higher dose of Chlorella sp. inoculum, a higher ethinylestradiol removal percentage was observed in a wastewater sample from a treatment plant in the Peruvian Andes.

Los metales pesados constituyen una de las principales fuentes de contaminación ambiental debido a su persistencia, bioacumulación y efectos adversos sobre los ecosistemas y la salud humana. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar las concentraciones de plomo (Pb) y cadmio (Cd) en frutos de Mangifera indica L. cultivados en áreas adyacentes a pozos de oxidación en el distrito y provincia de Jaén, Perú. La cuantificación de los metales se realizó mediante espectrofotometría de absorción atómica, siguiendo la normativa USEPA (1996) y el método 3052. Los resultados indicaron que el 33,3 % de las muestras superaron los límites máximos permisibles de Pb y el 3,33 % excedieron los valores establecidos para Cd, conforme al Codex Alimentarius, la Unión Europea y la legislación rusa. Asimismo, se observó mayor concentración de Pb en frutos de la parte inferior de la copa y de Cd en la zona media. En conclusión, los frutos evaluados no son aptos para consumo humano, representando un riesgo potencial para la salud pública.
Path analysis of the efficiency in the bud-flower-fruit transition of pitahaya: the biochar-Trichoderma viride combination improves yield in Hylocereus costaricensis and H. undatus cv. Vietnam White

Introduction: Pitahaya (Hylocereus spp.) is an emerging fruit crop, yet the physiological mechanisms by which bioinputs enhance reproductive efficiency and yield remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the effects of rice husk biochar combined with Trichoderma viride on reproductive development and fruit production in two pitahaya genotypes. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in Jaén, Peru, using a randomized complete block design with four treatments (control, biochar, T. viride, and biochar + T. viride). Reproductive traits and fruit yield were monitored over two production cycles and analyzed using generalized linear models and path analysis. Results: The combined biochar + T. viride treatment enhanced reproductive performance in a genotype-dependent manner. In H. costaricensis, it significantly increased flower production and fruit yield, while path analysis identified flowering as the key mediator of yield and revealed a reproductive carrying-capacity threshold of approximately 17 flowers. In contrast, H. undatus cv. Vietnam White showed only marginal responses to bioinput application. Discussion: These findings demonstrate that the effectiveness of biochar and T. viride depends on genotype-specific reproductive strategies. The combined bioinput treatment substantially improved reproductive efficiency and yield in H. costaricensis, whereas the limited response of H. undatus suggests lower phenotypic plasticity and distinct patterns of resource allocation By integrating longitudinal field evaluations with path analysis, this study provides a physiological framework for precision bioinput management based on reproductive carrying capacity and genotype-specific crop responses, offering new insights for sustainable pitahaya production.
Rhizobium inoculation sustains optimal yields on native common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under nitrogen-deficient fertilization

Native bean genotypes (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) play a crucial role in ensuring food security in the Andean region. However, their cultivation faces challenges, such as low yields and a high dependence on nitrogen fertilizers. Addressing these issues requires the development of sustainable strategies to enhance productivity. This study evaluated the interaction between Rhizobium phaseoli inoculation and three levels of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilization on the growth, yield, and nutritional profile of the 'Tiachos bayo' native bean variety under Andean field conditions. Two R. phaseoli strains (UNC-1 and CIAT-2) were tested in combination with three levels of chemical fertilization (0%, 50%, and 100%) using a factorial design under field conditions. Parameters assessed included nodule number, plant height, phenology, yield, and proximal grain composition. Results indicated that inoculation and fertilization levels significantly influenced nodulation, phenological phases, and crop yield. The highest yield (2172 kg·ha⁻¹) and nodule number (78) were observed with the combined treatment of R. phaseoli CIAT-2 strain with 100% fertilization. It was concluded that R. phaseoli inoculation, when integrated with appropriate fertilization, enhances the productivity of native beans.
