Target site as the main mechanism of resistance to imazamox in a Euphorbia heterophylla biotype
(Springer Nature, 2019-10-28)Euphorbia heterophylla is a weed species that invades extensive crop areas in subtropical regions of Brazil. This species was previously controlled by imazamox, but the continuous use of this herbicide has selected for ... -
Efecto de la fecha de siembra en las malas hierbas en cereales de invierno
(Interempresas, 2019-10-07)Se debe tener en cuenta que las malas hierbas son propias de cada parcela y por tanto, se debe de plantear una estrategia de control a medio y largo plazo. Esto implica no solo el cultivo, sino también el manejo del suelo ... -
Multiple Resistance to Synthetic Auxin Herbicides and Glyphosate in Parthenium hysterophorus Occurring in Citrus Orchards
(American Chemical Society, 2019-08-15)Dominican farmers have started to apply synthetic auxin herbicides (SAHs) as the main alternative to mitigate the impacts of the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant (GR) Parthenium hysterophorus populations in citrus orchards. ... -
Multi-species mixtures - new perspectives on models and mechanisms
(European Grassland Federation, 2010)The delivery of essential ecosystem functions (primary productivity, maintenance of soil fertility, resistance to weed invasion etc.) may be compromised by global declines in biodiversity. There is still controversy about ... -
Diversity-ecosystem function relationship in mixed forage crops
(European Grassland Federation, 2010)Monocultures and three species mixtures containing a grass (Festuca arundinacea), a legume (Medicago sativa) and a forb (Cichorium intybus) were sown in order to test the effects of diversity on forage swards. Yield, LAI ... -
Changes in biodiversity composition and soil nutrient content with management in a Pyrenean grassland community
(European Grassland Federation, 2010)We investigated the influence of livestock type on vegetation and biogeochemical cycling in grasslands with the objective of describing differences between agropastoral systems experiencing different managements from a ... -
Effects of livestock management on carbon stocks and fluxes in grassland ecosystems in the Pyrenees
(European Grassland Federation, 2004)Grassland ecosystems can constitute a source or a sink in the global C balance, and their management affect their position in that balance. We aim to assess soil organic carbon (SOC) content and determine how grazing affects ... -
May the inclusion of a legume crop change weed composition in cereal fields? Example of Sainfoin in Aragon (Spain)
(MDPI, 2019-03-14)Onobrychis viciifolia (Scop.) (sainfoin) is promoted in the Spanish Aragón region through the Agro-Environmental Schemes (AES) since 2007 with the aim of enhancing biodiversity. Also, in other countries, the interest in ... -
Sowing date affects maize development and yield in irrigated Mediterranean environments
(MDPI, 2019-03-26)Timely sowing is critical for maximizing yield for both grain and biomass in maize. The effects of early (mid-March), normal (mid-April), and late (mid-May) sowing date (SD) were studied over a three-year period in irrigated ... -
Maximizing the information obtained from chamber-based greenhouse gas exchange measurements in remote areas
(Elsevier, 2018)Measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes, particularly methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in mountain ecosystems are scarce due to the complexity and unpredictable behavior of these gases, in addition to the remoteness ... -
Management of herbicide resistant corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) under different tillage systems does not change the frequency of resistant plants
(Weed Science Society of America, 2018-07-05)Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) is the most widespread broadleaf weed species infesting winter cereals in Europe. Biotypes that are resistant to both 2,4-D and tribenuron-methyl, an acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor, ... -
Early stage fruit analysis to detect a high risk of bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’
(Elsevier, 2017)Fruit mineral analysis at harvest is recommended as a predictive method to assess the risk of bitter pit (BP) in apple orchards, although it only provides valuable information if conducted just before harvest. To gain more ... -
Combination of strategies to supply calcium and reduce bitter pit in ‘Golden Delicious’ apples
(Elsevier, 2017)Calcium (Ca) sprays and Ca applications to soil throughout the growing season or Ca solution dips at post-harvest are widespread practices to supply Ca and decrease bitter pit in apples. However, published results conflict, ... -
Induction of symptoms pre-harvest using the ‘passive method’: An easy way to predict bitter pit
(Elsevier, 2015)An effective method for predicting bitter pit incidence implemented before harvest could be a useful instrument for both the fruit industry and growers. Between 2009 and 2011, various methods for the prediction of bitter ... -
Reduced absorption and impaired translocation endows glyphosate resistance in Amaranthus palmeri harvested in GR soybean from Argentina
((c) American Chemical Society, 2019, 2019)Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson is probably the worst glyphosate-resistant (GR) weed worldwide. The EPSPS (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate-synthase) gene amplification has been reported as the major target-site-resistance ... -
Soil porosity changes in orchards with subsurface irrigation: quantification and interpretation
(Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, 2019)In order to assess the irrigation efficiency under water-limiting conditions, four different treatments of subsurface irrigation of peach trees in a semi-arid Mediterranean climate near Lleida (NE Iberian Peninsula) were ... -
Camelina as rotation crop for weed control in organic farming in a semi-arid Mediterranean climate
(MDPI, 2018-10-24)Crop rotation in winter cereals in semiarid Mediterranean climates is highly desirable to prevent weed infestations, but the climatic conditions make it difficult to implement alternative crops to winter cereals. Camelina ... -
Rigput brome (Bromus diandrus Roth.) management in a no tilled field in Spain
(MDPI, 2018-11-04)The adoption of no-till (NT) in the semi-arid region of Mediterranean Spain has promoted a weed vegetation change, where rigput brome (Bromus diandrus Roth) represents a main concern. In order to avoid complete reliance ... -
