Effect of N dose, fertilisation duration and application of a nitrification inhibitor on GHG emissions from a peach orchard
(Elsevier, 2019-08-23)
Despite only occupying 5% of the worldwide arable area, fruit tree crops are of vital economic importance in many regions. Intensive cropping practices can lead to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In ...
Nitrogen nutrition diagnosis for olive trees grown in super-intensive cropping systems
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-17)
The results of a 4-year experiment combining irrigation, N, and K showed that to maintain productivity and tree growth it is necessary to attain a higher leaf N status than current diagnosis standards. ...
Evapotranspiration estimates derived using thermal-based satellite remote sensing and data fusion for irrigation management in California vineyards
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-10)
Irrigation in the Central Valley of California is essential for successful wine grape production. With reductions in water availability in much of California due to drought and competing water-use ...
Studying and modelling winter dormancy in olive trees
(Elsevier, 2019-10-03)
The abundance of scientific papers dealing with olive reproductive phenology contrasts with the scarce information available in relation to the winter dormant state of olive vegetative structures. In ...
Drought resistance in oat involves ABA-mediated modulation of transpiration and root hydraulic conductivity
(Elsevier, 2020-11-30)
Drought is one of the most important constraints to crop productivity worldwide. Control of plant responses to drought is very complex. The mechanisms and their intensity may differ between species ...
Using forced regrowth to manipulate Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) development to evaluate phenological stage responses to temperature
(Elsevier, 2019-12-06)
Time and environmental conditions, such as temperature and photoperiod, are the main drivers governing grapevine development over the growing season. The most obvious growth periods in grapevines are ...
How does peach fruit set on sylleptic shoots borne on epicormics compare with fruit set on proleptic shoots?
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2018-02-22)
Proleptic and epicormic shoots on peach (Prunus
persica) have different growth characteristics that
have management implications for peach production.
Proleptic shoots arise from buds after a ...
Dynamic Management Zones for Irrigation Scheduling
(Elsevier, 2020-05-07)
Irrigation scheduling decision-support tools can improve water use efficiency by matching irrigation recommendations to prevailing soil and crop conditions within a season. Yet, little research is ...
Disaggregation of SMOS soil moisture over West Africa using the Temperature and Vegetation Dryness Index based on SEVIRI land surface parameters
(Elsevier, 2018-01-30)
The overarching objective of this study was to produce a disaggregated SMOS Soil Moisture (SM) product using land surface parameters from a geostationary satellite in a region covering a diverse range ...
Cork oak woodland land-cover types classification: a comparison between UAV sensed imagery and field survey
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-07-29)
This work assesses the use of aerial imagery for the vegetation cover characterization in cork oak woodlands. The study was conducted in a cork oak woodland in central Portugal during the summer of 2017. ...
