Parasitism of single or combined pyralid populations by Venturia canescens and Habrobracon hebetor in laboratory and storeroom conditions
(Springer, 2018-06-27)
Venturia canescens and Habrobracon hebetor are cosmopolitan parasitoids found in large numbers in food processing facilities in northeastern Spain and in many other countries. These parasitoids attack ...
Resistance of the citrus rootstock forner-alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans in replant situations
(Elsevier, 2023-02-09)
The resistance of the citrus rootstock Forner-Alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans was assessed in comparison to the susceptible Carrizo citrange (S) in two replant situations. Changes in soil and ...
Development of a PCR‐based method to monitor arthropod dispersal in agroecosystems: Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) from banker plants to tomato crops
(Wiley, 2019-08-16)
Development of conservation biological control programs requires the identification of sources that contribute to predator colonization of crops. Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is ...
Modified distribution in the polyphenolic profile of rosemary leaves induced by plant inoculation with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus
(Wiley, 2018-11-26)
BACKGROUND: Rosemary forms an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis with a group of soilborne fungi belonging to the phylum Glomeromycota, which can modify the plant metabolome ...
Sap flow of a wild cherry tree plantation growing under Mediterranean conditions: Assessing the role of environmental conditions on canopy conductance and the effect of branch pruning on water productivity
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-04-05)
In recent decades, wild cherry has been one of the species most widely used for reforestation in Europe. Studies aiming to select and improve trees to give them the best growth rates and wood properties ...
Lack of thinning effects over inter-annual changes in soil fungal community and diversity in a Mediterranean pine forest
(Elsevier, 2018-05-17)
Predicted changes in global climate might negatively affect the soil microbiome and associated ecosystem processes in Mediterranean forests. Forest treatments, such as forest thinning, have been suggested ...
The ability of a host plant to associate with different symbiotic partners affects ectomycorrhizal functioning
(Oxford University Press, 2019-05-17)
Some plants that associate with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are also able to simultaneously establish symbiosis with other types of partners. The presence of alternative partners that may provide similar ...
Releases of the parasitoid Anisopteromalus calandrae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) can control Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in big bags of paddy rice
(Elsevier, 2021-08-12)
Sitophilus zeamais is a key pest in stored rice in Spain and other Mediterranean countries. Today, it is mostly controlled with a few pesticides, such as pyrethroids or phosphine. Apart from the problem ...

(Springer, 2020-09-16)
This study assesses the feasibility of using natural enemies for the control of Acanthoscelides obtectus Say and Zabrotes subfasciatus Boheman (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), key pests of stored dried ...
Susceptibility of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Cultivars to Twig Canker and Shoot Blight Caused by Diaporthe amygdali
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022-06-13)
Twenty-five almond cultivars were assessed for susceptibility to Diaporthe amygdali, causal agent of twig canker and shoot blight disease. In laboratory experiments, growing twigs were inoculated with ...
