Beneficial rhizobacteria inoculation on Ocimum basilicum reduces the growth performance and nutritional value of Spodoptera frugiperda
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2022-02)
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has a significant role in plant–insect interaction. However, the extent of their impact on insects is still not well understood. This investigation was designed to evaluate the ...
Food conversion rate (FCR) in Caiman latirostris, resulted more efficient at higher temperaturesLa tasa de conversión alimenticia (FCR) de Caiman latirostris resulta más eficiente a temperaturas altaA Taxa de conversão do alimento (FCR) do Caiman latirostris é mais eficiente a temperaturas mais elevadas
(Interciencia, 2009-07)
The effects of temperature on the growth of Caiman latirostris were investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency of food conversion at 29 and 33°C. Sixty-eight captive raised animals, two months old, taken from four ...
Nitrogen economy of early and late-sown maize crops
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
Late sowing dates of maize are widely adopted in the Pampas region of Argentina, stabilising grain yields due to a more favourable water balance around flowering. However, late-sown crops are exposed to high soil N ...
Bis- and mono-substituted Chalcones exert anti-feedant and toxic effects on fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Spodoptera frugiperda is a highly polyphagous migratory lepidopteran pest species. It causes infestation in crops leading to the severe crop losses. Being a new invasive parasite, its susceptibility to insecticides needs ...
Eficiencia placentaria en cabras restringidas nutricionalmente durante la gestaciónPlacentary efficiency in nutritionally restricted goats during gestation
(Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto. Facultad de Agronomía y Veterinaria, 2021-08-04)
La nutrición materna condiciona el desarrollo placentario y el correcto intercambio nutricional materno-fetal, afectando directamente el peso al nacimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto de la ...
An update on nitric oxide production and role under phosphorus scarcity in plants
(Frontiers Media, 2020-04-15)
Phosphate (P) is characterized by its low availability and restricted mobility in soils, and also by a high redistribution capacity inside plants. In order to maintain P homeostasis in nutrient restricted conditions, plants ...
Hybrid Oven (Solar + Biomass) for Cooking. Design, Construction and Thermal Evaluation
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2019-03)
Solar energy for cooking is an interesting option to achieve energy efficient cooking, while reducing environmental impact and facilitating nutritious cooking on a daily basis, especially to provide nutrition for young ...
Role and management of soil biodiversity for food security and nutrition; where do we stand?
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
Soils host diverse communities that support and regulate ecosystem functions, thereby affecting plant production and resource use efficiencies. There is increasing evidence that agricultural intensification affects soil ...
Geographic and seasonal variability in feeding behaviour of a small herbivorous rodent
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2011-01)
Foraging strategies have traditionally been modelled as a result of food selection in response to one factor, as for instance resource availability, deterrent compounds or nutrients. Thus, a trade-off is assumed between ...
Pay it forward: refuse dump from leaf-cutting ants promotes caterpillar digestive performance by increasing plant nitrogen content
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-09)
1. The activity of soil-disturbing animals that increase soil nutrients can affect the carbon : nitrogen (C : N) ratio of plants, which, in turn, may determine the transfer of energy and nutrients through higher trophic ...
