Dataset for the manuscript:Partial substitution of synthetic agrochemicals with standardized biols maintains yield and profitability in CCN-51 cacao monoculture under endemic disease pressure

Dataset 1: Biol_repository data Title: Agronomic, Phytosanitary, and Economic Data of CCN-51 Cacao under Partial Agrochemical Substitution in Ecuador (2015-2016). Description: This dataset contains field trial data from a two-year study evaluating the substitution of synthetic fertilizers and fungicides with liquid biofertilizers (biol) in a commercial CCN-51 cacao monoculture in the Guayas River Basin, Ecuador. Files included: Agronomic Performance: Monthly records of pod harvest, wet/dry bean weight, and ear index. Disease Incidence: Monitoring data for Moniliophthora roreri (Frosty Pod Rot) and Moniliophthora perniciosa (Witches' Broom). Economic Analysis: Detailed variable costs, labor requirements (jornales), and profitability indicators (Net Margin, Benefit-Cost Ratio) for six treatments varying in biol concentration and application frequency. These data support the findings published in Agricultural Systems regarding the trade-offs between labor efficiency and yield stability. Dataset 2: Biol_repository clima_data Title: Daily Meteorological Data from Hacienda San Rafael (Guayas River Basin (Ecuador) for Cacao Agrosystem Analysis (2013-2016). Description: This dataset comprises daily meteorological records collected at Hacienda San Rafael (Guayas River Basin, Ecuador) during the 2015-2017 period. Variables included: Precipitation (mm) Average Temperature (°C) Relative Humidity (%) Heliophany (Sunlight hours) These data were used to analyze the correlation between climatic drivers (ENSO anomalies) and the epidemiology of cacao fungal diseases (Moniliophthora spp.) in high-yielding CCN-51 plantations.
