Soil stabilisation by water repellency under no-till management for soils with contrasting mineralogy and carbon quality
(Elsevier Science, 2019-12)
No-till soil management is common around the globe, but the impacts on soil structural quality varies depending on cropping practice and inherent soil properties. This study explored water repellency as a driver of soil ...
Fruit, mesocarp, and endocarp responses to crop load and to different estimates of source: sink ratio in olive (cv. Arauco) at final harvest
(Elsevier Science, 2018-04)
The annual fluctuations in olive crop load due to alternate bearing and other factors often lead to large differences in fruit size and oil content between years at harvest. A better understanding of how fruit parameters ...
Accelerating silphium domestication: An opportunity to develop new crop ideotypes and breeding strategies informed by multiple disciplines
(Crop Science Society of America, 2017-06)
Silphium perfoliatum L. (cup plant, silphie) and S. integrifolium Michx. (rosinweed, silflower) are in the same subfamily and tribe as sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Silphium perfoliatum has been grown in many countries ...
Metal solubility in the rhizosphere of a co-cropping system. The role of total carbon exudation, soluble proteins and plant interaction
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-06)
In the present study we assessed how modified rhizosphere pH and root exudation (total carbon (C) and soluble proteins released) affected lead (Pb) solubility as well as plant growth and Pb accumulation. A pot experiment ...
Factors Affecting Fruit Quality in Strawberries Grown in a Subtropical Environment
(2015-04)
Variations of strawberry fruit quality due to year, harvest date, cultivar, and nutrition were studied in Tucumán, Argentina. ‘Camarosa’, ‘Camino Real’, ‘Candonga’, and ‘Ventana’ were fertilized with “C” (control; 120 kg ...
On-field assessment of the environmental modulation of malting quality in barley crops
(Elsevier Science, 2021-09)
Malt extract is the most relevant parameter describing malting quality in barley. The observed differences in malt extract from crops grown in different environments are complex to explain, and their interpretation might ...
Fruit, mesocarp, and endocarp responses to crop load and to different estimates of source: sink ratio in olive (cv. Arauco) at final harvest
(2018-04-14)
The annual fluctuations in olive crop load due to alternate bearing and other factors often lead to large differences in fruit size and oil content between years at harvest. A better understanding of how fruit parameters ...
Effect of N and K levels and planting density on pineapple fruit yield and qualityEfecto de unidades de N y K y densidad de siembra en el rendimiento y calidad de la fruta de piña
(University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus Agricultural Experiment Station, 1991)
Balancing forage production, seed yield, and pest management in the perennial sunflower silphium integrifolium (Asteraceae)
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-10)
The perennial sunflower Silphium integrifolium Michx. (Asteraceae), also known as silflower, is a prospective dual-purpose forage plus grain crop. Pre-flowering biomass harvest for animal feed and the subsequent delay in ...
The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard production
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-03)
The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world-wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator-dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key native pollinator ...
