Differences in growth rates between Eucalyptus clones depend on differences in the acquisition of resources, and the efficiency of using resources to produce carbohydrates and grow wood. We examined differences in canopy ...

Waterlogging is a severe stress that constrains crop production. We studied ecophysiological traits related to waterlogging tolerance in wheat, barley oilseed rape and field pea. Outdoor experiments using canopies of wheat ...

Murta (Ugni molinae Turcz.) is an evergreen shrub of the native forest understorey of southern Chile that produces berries which are consumed in the local markets. Because of the natural adaptation of murta to growing under ...

Understanding the processes that underlie the effects of tree diversity on primary production is of foremost importance to enhance climate change mitigation by tropical forests. Here, we investigated the effects of tree ...

An important milestone in Argentina peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) breeding was the shift in the 1970s from cultivars with erect growth habit (CEGH) to cultivars with procumbent growth habit (CPGH). CPGH improved seed yield ...

The adaptation of Urochloa brizantha to Brazilian ecosystems and the use of artificial shading in low light production studies are important tools to obtain productive responses and to know the behavior of plants when used ...

Light interception (mainly due to defoliation) during the critical growth periods of soybean may be a suitable index for calculating the economic injury level (ELI) rather than measuring the insect population or percentage ...

The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the defoliation frequency based on a fixed rest period would generate variable sward structural and physiological conditions at each subsequent grazing event. The relative ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of intercropping systems between corn and tropical forages, at different cutting heights, on silage production, light interception, land use efficiency, intercropping ...
