Abstract
RAMIREZ LEGARRETA, Manuel Rafael et al. Perspectives on the apple production system in Chihuahua facing climate change. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.spe2, pp.265-279. ISSN 2007-0934.
This essay is an attempt to estimate from the phonological, environmental and socio-economic point of view, the effect of climate change on the apple production system in Chihuahua, Mexico. Climatic, phenology and socioeconomic data were reanalyzed, with a length of more than 10 years in different periods, contextualizing them under the current environment of global warming. The results clearly indicate the trends in the increase in the production costs, pest density, and the risk of disease occurrence and extraction depth of water for irrigation.
Keywords : Malus sylvestris (L) Mill. Var. Domestica (Borkh) Mansf; global warming; production costs.
