Resumen

El nogal pecanero (Carya illinoinensis [Wangenh] K. Koch) es un cultivo económicamente importante tanto para México como para Estados Unidos de América. El Cambio climático (con incrementos en bióxido de carbono, incremento en la temperatura y reducciones en las precipitaciones pluviales) puede afectar seriamente la producción en las huertas nogaleras. Este artículo aborda algunos de los impactos potenciales del incremento del CO2 y de las temperaturas diarias en el crecimiento de los árboles de nogal, su dormancia y sus interacciones con los insectos- plaga.

Abstract

The pecan (Carya illinoinensis [Wangenh] K. Koch) is an economically important crop for both Mexico and the United States of America. The Climate Change (with increases in carbon dioxide, increases in temperature and reductions in rainfall) can seriously affect production in the orchards of walnut groves. This article discusses some of the potential impacts of increased CO2 and daily temperatures in the growth of walnut trees, its dormancy and its interactions with pest insect.

Keywords: Carya illinoinensis, pecan, climate change, drought, CO2, carbon dioxide, irrigation requirements
