Enhanced diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators and biological pest control but reduced crop establishment in organic rice farming
(Elsevier, 2023-08-10)
Organic farming has been adopted as the main alternative to reduce the environmental impact of intensive agriculture by banning the use of synthetic inputs and bolstering key ecological functions such ...
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 ...
New insights into early biochemical prediction of internal browning disorder in 'Conference' pears
(Elsevier, 2023-09-28)
This study aimed to identify markers in pear capable of predicting the development of internal browning disorder (IBD) at harvest or during early storage. ´Conference´ pears were harvested from different ...
An insect’s energy bar: the potential role of plant guttation on biological control
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Plant guttation is an exudation fluid composed of xylem and phloem sap secreted at the margins of leaves of many agricultural crops. Although plant guttation is a widespread phenomenon, its effect on ...
Long-term effects of rootstock and tree type on the economic profitability of ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ orchards performance
(Elsevier, 2023-05-10)
Planting a new orchard requires a complex management strategy that involves many factors including cultivar,
rootstock, planting density, training system, tree type, climate, and economic conditions ...
The multi-site PeachRefPop collection: a true cultural heritage and international scientific tool for fruit trees
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07-29)
Plants have evolved a range of adaptive mechanisms that adjust their development and physiology to variable external conditions, particularly in perennial species subjected to long-term interplay with ...
Effectiveness landscape of crop pollinator assemblages: Implications to pollination service management
(Elsevier, 2023-02-22)
There is a growing consensus that the world is facing a pollination crisis. To mitigate crop pollination deficits, some management strategies include the massive introduction of managed bee species, yet ...
A hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based coating inhibits ethylene-dependent quality changes and reduces superficial scald incidence and blue mould severity during postharvest handling of two apple varieties
(Elsevier, 2023-10-12)
The search of new alternatives to substitute postharvest treatments based on synthetic chemicals has gained attention on recent years due to social pressure and stricter legislative policies. Consequently, ...
Defining key parameters and predictive markers of ‘Early Bigi’ cherry consumer satisfaction by means of differential storage scenarios
(Elsevier, 2022-09-28)
To induce differences in sensorial characteristics, ‘Early Bigi’ cherries were exposed to various storage scenarios, including modified atmosphere packaging, 1-methylcyclopropene and methyl jasmonate ...
Nutrient addition increases insect herbivory in Nothofagus antarctica on North-Patagonian forests
(Elsevier, 2024-02-28)
The change in nutrient availability in the soil can affect key functions of forest ecosystems, such as insect herbivory. Although insect herbivory is particularly relevant because it can impact on the ...
