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 ...
Oribatid mites in different Mediterranean crop rotations fertilized with animal droppings
(Springer, 2023-06-20)
Unsustainable soil management is one of the drivers of soil degradation, but impact assessment requires the development of indicators. Oribatids might be considered as early indicators of disturbances ...
Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Ground-Based RGB Indices to Assess Agronomic Performance of Wheat Landraces and Cultivars in a Mediterranean-Type Environment
(MDPI, 2021-03-20)
The adaptability and stability of new bread wheat cultivars that can be successfully grown in rainfed conditions are of paramount importance. Plant improvement can be boosted using effective high-throughput ...
Direct and indirect effects of planning density, nitrogenous fertilizer and host plant resistance on rice herbivores and their natural enemies
(MDPI, 2022-11-30)
In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability. However, density-induced changes to plant ...
Aligning citizen science and remote sensing phenology observations to characterize climate change impact on vegetation
(IOPSCIENCE, 2022-08-08)
Phenology observations are essential indicators to characterize the local effects of climate change. Citizen participation in the collection of phenological observations is a potential approach to provide ...
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 ...
Agronomic, Physiological and Genetic Changes Associated With Evolution, Migration and Modern Breeding in Durum Wheat
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-08)
A panel of 172 Mediterranean durum wheat landraces and 200 modern cultivars was phenotyped during three years for 21 agronomic and physiological traits and genotyped with 46,161 DArTseq markers. Modern ...
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. ...
Differential irrigation scheduling by an automated algorithm of water balance tuned by capacitance-type soil moisture sensors
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-11-07)
Automated software tools are required to undertake the routine tasks and decision-making involved in scheduling irrigation. A key issue in this topic is how to integrate sensors in the scheduling approach. ...
