(Pest Management Science, 2017-09-30)BACKGROUND:Bacillus amyloliquefaciensstrain CPA-8 has been described as an effective biocontrol agent to control brownrot in stone fruit for both preharvest and postharvest applications. However, no ... -
Environmental flows in the lower Ebro River and Delta: Current status and guidelines for a holistic approach
(Water, 2020-09-24)Deltas are a particular type of estuarine system in which the dependence on river flow (water, sediments and nutrients) is very strong, especially in river-dominated deltas such as the Mediterranean ... -
Environmental heterogeneity and variations in the velocity of bluetongue virus spread in six European epidemics
(Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2017-11-04)Several epidemics caused by different bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes occurred in European ruminants since the early 2000. Studies on the spatial distribution of these vector-borne infections and the ... -
Environmental life cycle assessment of producing willow, alfalfa and straw from spring barley as feedstocks for bioenergy or biorefinery systems
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016-10-17)The aim of this study is to assess the potential environmental impacts of producing maize, grass-clover, ryegrass, and straw from winter wheat as biomass feedstocks for biorefinery. The Life Cycle ... -
Environmental typology of rivers from the Brazilian semiarid as a first step for the application of the index of biotic integrity: The case of the Chapada Diamantina
(River Research and Applications, 2020-03-02)Defining environmental river types is an essential step in the development of accurate fish‐based methods (IBI, Index of Biotic Integrity) to assess the environmental quality of aquatic ecosystems. In ... -
Environmental, social and health benefits of alternative renewable energy sources. Case study for household biogas digesters in rural areas
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021-03-15)In rural areas of Colombia, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the preferred option available for cooking. However, the poorest households rely on firewood (FW) to meet their daily cooking needs, because ... -
Environmentally driven transcriptomic and metabolic changes leading to color differences in “Golden Reinders” apples
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022-08-01)Apple is characterized by its high adaptation to diverse growing environments. However, little is still known about how different environments can regulate at the metabolic or molecular level specific ... -
Epidemiological and ultrasonographic investigation of bovine fascioliasis in smallholder production system in Eastern Nile Delta of Egypt
(Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2018-07-18)Regular updating of our knowledge on the epidemiological determinants of bovine fascioliasis is necessary to increase the awareness of the disease's significance and subsequently, improve the control ... -
Epidemiological surveillance of Schmallenberg virus in small ruminants in southern Spain
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020-10-09)Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is an emerging Culicoides‐borne Orthobunyavirus that affects ruminant species. Between 2011 and 2013, it was responsible for a large‐scale epidemic in Europe. In the present ... -
