Theory predicts that in more stressful environments, positive plant-plant interactions should be more important than negative ones. For instance, in arid and semiarid regions, amelioration of soil drought produced by the ...

Plant density and row spacing are management practices that farmers use to maximize soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yield. Other canopy aspects related to seedling establishment like spatial (spacing among plants) and ...

Several plant species of the large Neotropical genus Cecropia acts as a host plant for ants, especially those of the genus Azteca. Although literature has reported that the Azteca queens found colonies by perforating the ...

The naturalization of an introduced species is a key stage during the invasion process. Therefore, identifying the traits that favor the naturalization of non-native species can help understand why some species are more ...

The IICA Plant Protection Program for the Caribbean seeks to promote and support the efforts of the Caribbean countries to prevent and reduce losses in crops caused by pests, diseases and weeds. The program, which began ...

Increased plant population density in irrigated and fertilized maize crops enhances plant-to-plant variability since early vegetative stages, because the most suppressed individuals of the stand intercept less radiation ...

Maize crop production depends on nitrogen (N) availability, N uptake by the crop and the efficiency with which absorbed N is used to produce biomass (NUEBIOM) or grain yield (NUEGRAIN). This framework assumes unique ...
