Use of wood and cork in biofilters for the simultaneous removal of nitrates and pesticides from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-12-07)
About 13% and 7% of monitored groundwater stations in Europe exceed the permitted levels of nitrates (50 mg NO3− L−1) or pesticides (0.1 μg L−1), respectively. Although slow sand filtration can remove ...
Neonicotinoid contamination in wildflowers collected from citrus orchards in a northwestern Mediterranean Region (Spain) after tree foliar treatments
(Springer, 2022-03-14)
Ground-cover vegetation attracts and harbors beneficial insects to the agrosystem, playing an important role in conservation biological control. Integrated pest management (IPM) program guidelines ...

(Elsevier, 2019-04-30)
The objective of this study was to explore through both in vitro and in vivo experiments the use of reclaimed urban wastewater in dairy cattle production systems with the aim of improving water efficiency ...
A parasitoid wasp allied with an entomopathogenic virus to control Tuta absoluta
(Elsevier, 2024-02-09)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a major threat to worldwide tomato production, and sustainable management methods are needed. Betabaculovirus phoperculellae (PhopGV) and the ...
Use of Recovered Struvite and Ammonium Nitrate in Fertigation in Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) Production for boosting Circular and Sustainable Horticulture
(De Gruyter, 2021-10-28)

Temporal dynamics of soil fungal communities after partial and total clear-cutting in a managed Pinus sylvestris stand
(Elsevier, 2019-07-10)
Forest management aimed to maximize timber production might impact soil fungi, especially those symbiotically associated to tree roots. In this study, we analyse the temporal dynamics of soil fungi along ...
Biological N fixation but not mineral N fertilization enhances the accumulation of N in peanut soil in maize/peanut intercropping system
(Elsevier, 2022-09-06)
Legume/cereal intercropping has the potential to maximize the use of resources to raise yields due to enhanced nitrogen (N) fixation by legume root nodules, while high N fertilization may inhibit the ...
