With a vision of generating agri-biotechnologies for arid zones, since 2020 Coapetilla “Desert Fruits” has led applied research and technological developments aimed at transforming this wild species into a strategic crop for the future of food.
An experimental plot dedicated to the agronomic validation of Coapetilla cultivation under real conditions in arid and semi-arid regions, where growth, productivity, and adaptation parameters are monitored.
Are you interested in establishing an experimental Coapetilla field?
A protected area designated for the propagation, acclimatization, and preparation of selected specimens.
Equipment installed in the native regions of Coapetilla species for real-time monitoring of soil and climate conditions, aimed at identifying the environmental requirements for the species’ proper development.
A collection of outstanding and genetically diverse Coapetilla specimens, preserved for research, breeding, and the conservation of the project’s biodiversity.
Comprehensive analysis of crop yield under various agronomic and environmental conditions.
Description of the shape, size, weight, and other relevant physical characteristics of Coapetilla fruit to define the best distribution practices.
Precise determination of fruit yield according to developmental stage and season.
Using our soil and climate stations, we constantly study the edaphoclimatic conditions under which Coapetilla develops optimally.
Evaluation of the effect of different water volumes on fruit quality and yield.
Definition of optimal agricultural practices to improve establishment, growth, and yield of the crop.
Study of the essential nutrient content in the fruit, including fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins.
Measurement of the water required by juvenile and adult Coapetilla plants throughout their production cycle, in order to determine the liters of water used per cycle per kilogram of fruit produced.
Since 2022, strategies have been developed to preserve fruit quality and extend its shelf life after harvest.
Within our germplasm bank, we continuously select the best specimens considered Elite for their productive traits, quality, and drought resistance.
Do you want to be part of Coapetilla “Desert Fruits” strategic alliance network or become a pioneer of this innovative food model in your region?
