Argentinean Humid Pampa topsoil samples from sites with different land use patterns were analysed. Texture was dominated by fines (silt+clay > 50%) with high total organic carbon content (2.8 ± 1.8%), particularly in finer ...

A bacterial consortium able to degrade the herbicide 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) butyric acid (2,4-DB) was obtained from an agricultural soil of the Argentinean Humid Pampa region which has a history of long-term herbicide ...

The Argentinean Pampa is an important grain production region in which nitrogen (N) availability restricts wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. We performed 46 experiments in the Semi-arid Pampa for evaluating soil N supplying ...

Soil microbial communities are key players of ecosystem processes and important for crop and soil health. The Humid Pampas region in Argentina concentrates 75% of the national soybean production, which is based on intensive ...

Soya bean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) monoculture can lead to a decrease in labile fractions of soil organic carbon (SOC). This study sought to evaluate the effects of cover crops (CC), application of fertilizer, and crop ...

In the Argentinean Humid Pampas, intensification practices like crop rotation, cover crops (CC) and fertilization can improve soil nitrogen (N) balance. This study aimed to assess how intensification practices affect soil ...

For processing potato, a new algorithm has been developed to determine nitrogen (N) requirement (NR) applying critical N dilution curve (Nc). The objectives of this work were i) to determine the Nc for processing potato ...

The discrete typing units (DTUs) of Trypanosoma cruzi that infect domestic dogs and cats have rarely been studied. With this purpose we conducted a cross-sectional xenodiagnostic survey of dog and cat populations residing ...
