Times New Roman, and one and a half line spacing. It must consist of the
following parts: Title, Authors with their ORCID iD, Structured Abstract,
Keywords, these last four also in Spanish, and Introduction, Materials
and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements (if
applicable), Bibliographic References, Conflict of Interest and Authors'
Contributions.
The paper should be divided into numbered sections clearly defined, from
the Introduction to the Conclusions. The sub-sections should be numbered
1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2,...), etc. The, abstract, acknowledgments and references

" Introduction, brief, with the exposed problems and at the end the
objective of the article. It should not contain tables or figures.
" Materials and Methods must be written in third person; it must
appear followed methodologies and the main aspects of the investigation.
In field experiments, the experimental design and the soil and climatic
characteristics of the site should appear. The statistical package used
and evaluated components should appear. The international system of units
of measurement and chemical nomenclature is used. Equations should be
"all" written with the equations editor of Word, in the appropriate
place in the text, centered and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals
in parentheses.
" Results and Discussion The research results must be specific and
supported by tables and figures. Discussion of the results in comparison
with those presented by other authors may appear. There must be differences
between treatments and the corresponding statistics should appear. a.
Tables will appear above named with consecutive Arabic numerals; the title
will be in normal 11 font size in Times New Roman. They must be in the

" Authors' Contributions all authors must appear stating very briefly
what they specifically contributed to the article according to the CRediT
(Contributor Roles Taxonomy) specification system. CRediT considers 14
different roles of authorship or contribution: project management, formal
analysis, conceptualization, data curation, writing - first draft, writing
- revision and editing, research, methodology, obtaining funding, resources,
software, supervision, validation, visualization.
" Acknowledgements: if any, they should preferably be brief and include
the essential inputs for the development work.
" Brief Communications will have the same requirements as those for
the title, bibliographic regulations and conclusions. They will not have
specific part at all. Propose up to three key words of the same.
Bibliographic
references:
In all papers, bibliographic references should be included at the end
of the paper and pointing them in alphabetical order within the document
like this: for example, Morrell (1984), when it is a single author; (Lozano
and Ramirez, 2012), when they are two authors, when more than two and
(Sabadi et al., 2013) if it is in English and (Sabadi and col., 2013)
if it's in Spanish. The bibliographic references used in each of the scientific
communications, and which have a source (scientific journals, websites,
other resources, including most books) from 2015 onwards must be accompanied
by their electronic location (URL or DOI). The basic standards required
for the structure of this bibliography can be interpreted in the following
examples; you should only refer to the cited bibliography within the paper:
