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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Crop diversification and digestate application effect on the productivity and efficiency of irrigated winter crop systems
(Elsevier, 2023-05-23)
Irrigated winter crops can reduce input demands when compared with irrigated summer cropping systems in the Mediterranean area. The sustainability of these systems can be further improved resorting to ...
Inoculation of in vitro cultures with rhizosphere microorganisms improve plant development and acclimatization during immature embryo rescue in nectarine and pear breeding programs
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)
In the present study, two fungi Cladosporium ramotenellum strain PGP02 and Phoma spp. strain PGP03 and the bacterium Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 were isolated from Pyrus and Prunus in vitro rescued ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-06-14)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land–atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main ...
Physical and Chemical Properties of Limestone Quarry Technosols Used in the Restoration of Mediterranean Habitats
(MDPI, 2023-09-06)
The lack of topsoil is frequently a limiting factor in limestone quarry restoration. This implies that new technosols for maintaining target habitats must be created using mining wastes as the main ...
