An update on genetically modified crops
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2008)
Weed communities respond to changes in the diversity of crop sequence composition and double cropping
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06)
Agricultural intensification, besides increasing land productivity, also affects weed communities. We studied weed shifts in cropping sequences differing in the identity and number of crops grown. We also evaluated whether ...
Comparative activity of phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) in different crops in the Peruvian Andes
(Cambridge University Press, 1994)
Significant inter-crop variation in the abundance of phlebotomine sandflies, mostly Lutzomyia verrucarum Townsend, and five aphid species (Hemiptera: Aphididae), was demonstrated by repeated castor oil sticky trap collections ...
Are field crops refuge for woody invaders? Rainfall, crop type and management shaped tree invasion in croplands
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Woody encroachment represents a global concern which is mostly studied in natural and semi-natural grasslands and savannas. Woody invasion is a growing phenomenon in agricultural landscapes, but it remains elusive how ...
The scale dependency of spatial crop species diversity and its relation to temporal diversity
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-10-20)
Increasing crop species diversity can enhance agricultural sustainability, but the scale dependency of the processes that shape diversity and of the effects of diversity on agroecosystems is insufficiently understood. We ...
Influence of Agroforestry and Traditional Management of Maize (Zea mays L.) on Soil Fertility
(2013-07-01)
The aim of the work was to evaluate soil nutrient concentration at 0-5, 5-10, and 10-20 cm in maize (Zea mays L.) grown in sequence with black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb.) under Leucaena diversifolia alley cropping ...
