Efficacy of a non-pheromone semiochemical for trapping of western flower thrips in the presence of competing plant volatiles in a nectarine orchard
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaría, 2018-07-25)
Non-pheromone semiochemicals or allelochemicals (kairomones, synomones, allomones) are often derived from, or are similar to,
host plant odours and depending on their use, these semiochemicals may have ...
I. Mineral nutrient profiles and relationships of ‘Honeycrisp’ grown on a genetically diverse set of rootstocks under Western New York climatic conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-05-28)
We measured mineral nutrient concentrations in leaves, fruit flesh and fruit peel from field grown apple trees grown on a genetically diverse group of rootstocks from year 5 through year 8 of planting ...
Water stress during the post-harvest period affects new root formation but not starch concentration and content in Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) perennial organs
(Elsevier, 2019-02-15)
Water stress responses during the post-harvest period were evaluated in a Chardonnay container-grown grapevines grafted onto 1103 Paulsen rootstock. The irrigation treatments were: a control treatment ...

Las plantaciones mixtas se presentan como una alternativa dirigida a mejorar el balance productivo-económicoambiental a través de una óptima compartimentación del hábitat con combinaciones de especies ...
Effect of ultrasound processing on the bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of selected vegetables
(Springer, 2019-05-09)
Ultrasound processing can result in cell wall disruption, facilitating the release of the cellular content. Therefore, we hypothesized that sonication of vegetables could be used as a pre-treatment to ...
