Topic: Algarrobo


In the News (Tue 22 Dec 09)

  
  Prosopis alba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is known as algarrobo blanco in Spanish, which means "white carob tree" (the Spanish settlers gave it that name because of its similarity to the European carob tree).
The tree can reportedly tolerate drought, salt and sand; in fact, it is extremely efficient with regards to water consumption, it produces the most fruits in years of drought and has been successfully introduced in arid terrains.
nigra (algarrobo negro) are often confused or not correctly distinguished in botanical literature; in part this is due to the ease of hybridization of the genus.

 The Current State of Knowledge on Prosopis tamarugo
It was deemed relevant to add the influence exerted by tamarugo and algarrobo fodder on the metabolic profiles of sheep and goats during their various physiological periods: breeding, pregnancy and lactation.
The normal levels observed for most of the blood elements tested indicate that the rations given to sheep and goats were adequate for their physiological needs, which was confirmed in the field by the satisfactory condition of the flocks throughout the whole year.
However, if the nutritional contribution of the fodder from tamarugo and algarrobo is compared with the requirements of the species and type of animals studied, some marked protein and energy deficits may be observed in certain seasons of the year, due primarily to their low digestibiity.

 The Current State of Knowledge on Prosopis tamarugo
Practically all of the characteristics and properties of wood are derived from its organic origin, its cellular structure and the chemical composition of its constituent tissues.
The research was programmed to carry out a systematic analysis of the basic physical and mechanical properties of tamarugo and algarrobo wood, aiming at the collection of data contributing to a guideline for their utilization.
As to mechanical capacity, it may be observed that it increases with the age of the tree in both species, a fact, in turn, related to the increase in wood density.

 Wild Resources in the Andes: Algarrobo, Chanar and Palqui: Implications for Archaeology
Based on botanical, archaeological, ethnohistorical and ethnographic information about the nutritional qualities of these plants and their cultural management, I will explore the potential of these plants as a source of subsistence, and their potentially critical role for managing agricultural failure in prehispanic times.
Estimates of algarrobo (Prosopis sp.), chanar (Geoffroes decorticans), and palqui fruit (Acacia feddeana) production, will be made for the Cinti valley, Bolivia, from the Formative Period to the Late Horizon.
The objective of this analysis was to estimate the population that these fruits alone could have sustained during each period, and, in this manner, to assess whether these plants should be considered as basci resources to prehispanic societies.

 issg Database: Ecology of Prosopis spp.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Plant members of the genus Prosopis spp., which are commonly known as mesquite or algarrobo, include at least 44 defined species and many hybrids.
Native to the Americas they are fast growing, nitrogen fixing, very salt and drought tolerant shrubs or trees.
In South America, the first Prosopis seen by the invading Spaniards were called ‘algarrobo’, because of the observed similarity between these and the carob (Ceratonia siliqua) of the Mediterranean basin, both with similar, sweet edible pods (D’Antoni and Solbrig 1977, Cruz 1999, in Pasiecznik 2001).
