Short Communication: Laboratory assessment of ammonia volatilization from pig slurries applied on intact soil cores from till and no-till plots
(INIA, 2020-06-17)
Aim of study: Agricultural activities are the main source of volatilized ammonia (NH3). Maximum rates are reached within a few hours after slurry application. This study aimed to evaluate the influence ...
Ensemble modelling of carbon fluxes in grasslands and croplands
(Elsevier, 2020-04-25)
Croplands and grasslands are agricultural systems that contribute to land–atmosphere exchanges of carbon (C). We evaluated and compared gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (RECO), net ...
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 ...
Depicting the battle between nectarine and Monilinia laxa: the fruit developmental stage dictates the effectiveness of the host defenses and the pathogen’s infection strategies
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-01)
Infections by the fungus Monilinia laxa, the main cause of brown rot in Europe, result in considerable losses of stone
fruit. Herein, we present a comprehensive transcriptomic approach to unravel ...
Ammonia volatilisation from pig slurry and ANS with DMPP applied to Westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., cv. Trinova) under Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-03-19)
Ammonia volatilisation from agriculture represents an important nitrogen (N) loss which has both environmental and economic impacts. In regions where large amounts of manures are available, there is a ...
Optimizing precision irrigation of a vineyard to improve water use efficiency and profitability by using a decision-oriented vine water consumption model
(Springer, 2020-04-29)
While the agronomic and economic benefits of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies have long been established in red wine grape varieties, spatial variability in water requirements across a ...
Parameterization of Soil Hydraulic Parameters for HYDRUS-3D Simulation of Soil Water Dynamics in a Drip-Irrigated Orchard
(MDPI, 2020-06-28)
Although surface drip irrigation allows an efficient use of water in agriculture, the heterogeneous distribution of soil water complicates its optimal usage. Mathematical models can be used to simulate ...
The pitfalls of water potential for irrigation scheduling
(Elsevier, 2020-09-21)
The water potential (Ψp), has been widely used as an indicator of plant water status for irrigation management purposes. The simple infrastructure needed for its measurement and its direct relation to ...
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 ...
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. ...
