Optimización de la fertilización nitrogenada del maíz tras un cultivo de alfalfa en zonas semiáridas
(Interempresas, 2015-08-01)Se ha estudiado la respuesta del maíz a la fertilización nitrogenada tras un cultivo de alfalfa en siete experimentos de campo en regadíos semiáridos del Valle del Ebro. Se aplicaron seis dosis de N (de 0 a 300 kg N/ha). ... -
Fruiting efficiency differences between cereal species
(Elsevier, 2018)Grain number (GN) is critical for yield determination, and understanding its physiology may be instrumental to further improving yield. Studying similarities and differences in yield physiology among cereals may highlight ... -
Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic drift is assumed. Even ... -
Agronomic effects of a reciprocal translocation in a widely grown Spanish barley variety
(Springer Verlag, 2012)A large spontaneous reciprocal translocation is present in a widely grown Spanish barley cv. ‘Albacete’. It has been hypothesized that high popularity of ‘Albacete’ with farmers, particularly in semi-arid areas where barley ... -
Do Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae) Gravid Females Discriminate Between Bt or Multivitamin Corn Varieties? Role of Olfactory and Visual Cues
(Oxford University Press, 2015)The Mediterranean corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèbvre, is a key pest of corn and a main target of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn in Northeast Spain . Trends for future biotechnology crops indicate that Bt, non-Bt, ... -
Carbon footprint of cropping systems with grain legumes and cover crops: A case-study in SW France
(Elsevier, 2018-09-12)Agriculture contributes to a significant proportion of global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) but can also participate in climate change mitigation. The introduction of legumes in crop rotations reduces the dependence ... -
Tools for exploring habitat suitability for steppe birds under land use change scenarios
(Elsevier, 2015)In this study, scenario development based on changes in key socioeconomic drivers (namely, the prices of conventional food products, rural development policies and agro-environmental regulations) was used together with ... -
Pig slurry incorporation with tillage does not reduce short-term soil CO2 fluxes
(Elsevier, 2018)Tillage and organic fertilization impact short-term soil CO2 fluxes. However, the interactive effect of these two management practices has been rarely studied under field conditions. The objective of this study was to ... -
Soil aggregate stability as affected by fertilization type under semiarid no-tillage conditions
(Soil Science Society of America, 2013)Agricultural management practices play an important role in soil organic carbon (SOC) protection within soil aggregates. However, there is a lack of information on the effects of N fertilization on C protection within ... -
Tillage effects on soil aggregation and soil organic carbon profile distribution under Mediterranean semi-arid conditions
(Wiley, 2010)In rainfed semi-arid agroecosystems, soil organic carbon (SOC) may increase with the adoption of alternative tillage systems (e.g. no-tillage, NT). This study evaluated the effect of two tillage systems (conventional ... -
Identifying soil organic carbon fractions sensitive to agricultural management practices
(Elsevier, 2014)Agricultural management practices play a major role in the process of SOC sequestration. However, the large background of stable carbon (C) already present in the soil and the long period of time usually required to observe ... -
Soil carbon dioxide fluxes following tillage in semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystems
(Elsevier, 2007)In semiarid Mediterranean agroecosystems, low and erratic annual rainfall together with the widespread use of mouldboard ploughing (conventional tillage, CT), as the main traditional tillage practice, has led to a depletion ... -
Genetic markers for doubled haploid response in barley
(Springer Verlag, 2007)In order to analyse the genetic control of anther culture response in barley, a doubled haploid (DH) population from the cross between a medium responsive cultivar ‘Dobla’ and the model cultivar ‘Igri’ was produced. A ... -
Management Effects on Soil Carbon Dioxide Fluxes under Semiarid Mediterranean Conditions
(Soil Science Society of America, 2008)Losses of soil organic carbon (SOC) have contributed to CO2 emissions from soils to the atmosphere and to global climate change. We hypothesized that in semiarid agroecosystems of the Mediterranean region, a shift from the ... -
Tillage Effects on Soil Organic Carbon Fractions in Mediterranean Dryland Agroecosystems
(Soil Science Society of America, 2008)Under semiarid conditions, soil quality and productivity can be improved by enhancing soil organic matter content by means of alternative management practices. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of no-till (NT) ... -
Aggregate breakdown during tillage in a Mediterranean loamy soil
(Elsevier, 2008)Long-term tillage negatively affects soil aggregation, but little is known about the short-term effects of tillage. We investigated the effects of intensive tillage (moldboard plowing) and conservation tillage (chisel ... -
Effect of long-term conservation tillage on soil biochemical properties in Mediterranean Spanish areas
(Elsevier, 2009)In semi-arid Mediterranean areas, studies of the performance of conservation tillage systems have largely demonstrated advantages in crop yield, soil water storage and soil protection against wind and water erosion. However, ... -
Modelling tillage and nitrogen fertilization effects on soil organic carbon dynamics
(Elsevier, 2012)Agricultural management plays an important role in global warming mitigation due to its effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. In Mediterranean agroecosystems, the interactive effects of tillage and N fertilization ... -
Phenotypic plasticity and climatic adaptation in an Atlantic maritime pine breeding population
(Springer Verlag, 2012)Context: Pinus pinaster Ait. is found in the Iberian Peninsula under Mediterranean and Atlantic conditions. Both climates encounter each other in Galicia (NW Spain), where two bioclimatic regions can be differentiated: ... -
Tillage and nitrogen fertilization effects on nitrous oxide yield-scaled emissions in a rainfed Mediterranean area
(Elsevier, 2014)There is a strong need to identify the combination of tillage and N fertilization practices that reduce the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions while maintaining crop productivity in dryland Mediterranean areas. We ...
