A conceptual framework for crop-based agri-food supply chain characterization under uncertainty
(Springer, 2020)
Crop-based Agri-food Supply Chains (AFSCs) are complex systems that face multiple sources of uncertainty that can cause a significant imbalance between supply and demand in terms of product varieties, quantities, qualities, ...
Bees increase crop yield in an alleged pollinator-independent almond variety
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-02)
Wild pollinators are declining and the number of managed honey bee colonies is growing slower than agricultural demands for pollination. Because of these contrasting trends in pollinator demand and availability, breeding ...
Long-term fertilizer application and cover crops improve soil quality and soybean yield in the Northeastern Pampas region of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Long-term improvements in soil quality through cover crops (CC) and fertilizer management may provide resilience for temporal water stresses in cropping sequences based on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The objectives ...
Evaluation of hazelnut and walnut oil chemical traits from conventional cultivars and native genetic resources in a non-traditional crop environment from Argentina
(Springer, 2020-02)
The oil content and oil-quality responses of several hazelnut and walnut cultivars were evaluated in a new, non-traditional crop environment in north-western Patagonia. Moreover, two Argentinean landraces were studied for ...
Towards sustainable maize production: Glyphosate detoxification by Azospirillum sp. and Pseudomonas sp.
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
To contribute to more sustainable crop production, this study evaluated the capacity of Azospirillum sp. and Pseudomonas sp. to degrade glyphosate residues both invitro and invivo in maize plants (Zea mays L.) at different ...
Analysis of the zooplanktonic community in rice fields during a crop cycle in agroecological versus conventional managementAnálisis de la comunidad zooplanctónica en cultivos de arroz durante un ciclo de producción bajo manejo agroecológico versus convencional
(Asociación Española de Limnología, 2021-08)
This study investigated the zooplankton community in rice fields with different management practices: conventional crop (CC) and agroecological crop (AE). In both wetlands, physicochemical parameters and pesticide residues ...
Enhancing Sustainability in Intensive Dill Cropping: Comparative Effects of Biobased Fertilizers vs. Inorganic Commodities on Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Crop Yield, and Soil Properties
(MDPI, 2022)
The treatment and valorization of organic solid waste has become a promising alternative to increase intensive crop productivity while reducing its environmental impact. Currently, reusing improved organic waste as novel ...
Crop metabolomics: from diagnostics to assisted breeding
(Springer, 2018-11)
Background: Until recently, plant metabolomics have provided a deep understanding on the metabolic regulation in individual plants as experimental units. The application of these techniques to agricultural systems subjected ...
Quinoa: An Incan Crop to Face Global Changes in Agriculture
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2015)
Environmental changes have always occurred in the past but in the last decades these have escalated to critical levels, presenting environmental risk to people, especially in terms of food supply, as it affects crop yield, ...
Land-use intensification trends in the Rio de la Plata region of South America: Toward specialization or recoupling crop and livestock production
(Higher Education Press Limited Company, 2021-01)
The Rio de la Plata region comprises central Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. Modern agriculture developed around 1900 with recent decades being characterized by the advance of cropping areas over native grasslands. ...
