Effect of tree type and rootstock on the long-term performance of ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ apple trees trained to Tall Spindle under New York State climatic conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-11-26)
In 2006, two 0.3 ha orchard trials were established at two sites (Dressel farm in Southeastern New York State and VandeWalle farm in Western New York State) to compare two tree types (feathered trees ...
Catalan Virgin Olive Oil Protected Designations of Origin: Physicochemical and Major Sensory Attributes
(Wiley, 2019-01-01)
Catalonia, located in the northeast of Spain, comprises five extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) protected designations of origin (PDOs). Despite the proximity between them, these PDOs represent unique ...
Extreme hydrological events and the influence of reservoirs in a highly regulated river basin of northeastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2017-04-13)
Study region: The Segre basin (northeastern Spain).
Study focus: The Segre basin is extensively regulated, through a dense network of dams, during the second half of the 20th century. This study assessed ...
Horticultural performance of ‘Marinada’ and ‘Vairo’ almond cultivars grown on a genetically diverse set of rootstocks
(Elsevier, 2019-06-14)
Evolution of almond planted area and production has been mainly due to the arrival of new cultivars and rootstocks that have contributed to improve agronomic characters such as yield, precocity and ...
Below-ground hydraulic constraints during drought-induced decline in Scots pine
(Springer, 2018-11-20)
Key message
Below-crown hydraulic resistance, a proxy for below-ground hydraulic resistance, increased during drought in Scots pine, but larger increases were not associated to drought-induced defoliation. ...
Rooting big and deep rapidly: the ecological roots of pine species distribution in southern Europe
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-09)
Root properties can influence plant drought resistance, and consequently plant species distribution. Root structure strongly varies across biomes partly as a result of phylogeny. However, whether the ...
Evaluation of chemical fruit thinning efficiency using Brevis® (Metamitron) on apple trees (‘Gala’) under Spanish conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Thinning is an important technique in apple growing which is used to reduce the number of fruits per plant and achieve commercial fruit size and quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the ...
Insights into olive fruit surface functions: A comparison of cuticular composition, water permeability, and surface topography in nine cultivars during maturation
(Frontiers Media, 2019-11-19)
Olive (Olea europaea L.) growing has outstanding economic relevance in Spain, the
main olive oil producer and exporter in the world. Fruit skin properties are very relevant
for fruit and oil quality, ...
Agricultural soil organic carbon stocks in the north-eastern Iberian Peninsula: Drivers and spatial variability
(Elsevier, 2019-02-22)
Estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks under agriculture, assessing the importance of their drivers and understanding the spatial distribution of SOC stocks are crucial to predicting possible future ...
Integrated QTL detection for key breeding traits in multiple peach progenies
(BMC, 2017-06-06)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a major temperate fruit crop with an intense breeding activity.Breeding is facilitated by knowledge of the inheritance of the key traits that are often ...
