Germination of Pisum sativum L. Seeds Is Associated with the Alternative Respiratory Pathway
(MDPI, 2023-10-09)
Germination is a complex process that begins with rapid water uptake and a marked increase in oxygen consumption rate from initiation of aerobic respiration. The mitochondrial electron transport chain ...
On-farm reduced irrigation and fertilizer doses, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal inoculation improve water productivity in tomato production
(Elsevier, 2021-06-20)
Viability of horticultural production requires high yields of high-value products, coupled with optimization of inputs. Rational fertilizer and water use are vital for the economic and environmental ...
Development of a multiprimer metabarcoding approach to understanding trophic interactions in agroecosystems
(Wiley, 2021-12-14)
To understand trophic interactions and the precise ecological role of each predatory species, it is important to know which arthropod and plant resources are used by generalist predators in agroecosystems. ...
Modelling Processes and Products in the Cereal Chain
(MDPI, 2021-01-04)
In recent years, modelling techniques have become more frequently adopted in the field of food processing, especially for cereal-based products, which are among the most consumed foods in the world. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Earwig Releases Provide Accumulative Biological Control of the Woolly Apple Aphid over the Years
(MDPI, 2023-11-18)
Nature-based solutions, such as biological control, can strongly contribute to reducing the
use of plant protection products. In our study, we assessed the effect of augmentative releases of
the ...
Acidification and solar drying of manure-based digestate to produce improved fertilizing products
(Elsevier, 2023-03-13)
The increase in energy and fertilizer consumption makes it necessary to develop sustainable alternatives for
agriculture. Anaerobic digestion and digestates appeared to be suitable options. However, ...
Models for the practitioner: Predicting the efficient biocontrol of Tuta absoluta under different management scenarios
(Elsevier, 2023-06-12)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most destructive pests of solanaceous crops. One possible biological control strategy is the augmentative release of parasitoids. However, ...
Unravelling the Combined Use of Soil and Microbial Technologies to Optimize Cultivation of Halophyte Limonium algarvense (Plumbaginaceae) Using Saline Soils and Water
(MDPI, 2023-08-17)
Salt-affected soils have detrimental effects on agriculture and ecosystems. However, these soils can still be used for halophyte (salt-tolerant plants) cultivation using brackish and/or saline water. ...
