Short communication. Mutual pheromone antagonism in two sympatric corn borers, Sesamia nonagrioides and Ostrinia nubilalis, under field conditions
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2011)In previous studies, we demonstrated cross-antagonism in pheromone perception between pheromone componentsof the two corn (Zea mays L.) borers Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèbvre (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Ostrinia nubilalis ... -
Short communication. Nitrogen content of residual alfalfa taproots under irrigation
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2013)The decomposition of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) residues can provide significant amounts of N to subsequent crops, but most of the data on this subject has been obtained from 1-2 year old alfalfa stands. The objective ... -
Short communication. Potential to mitigate anthropogenic CO2 emissions by tillage reduction in dryland soils of Spain
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2010)Spain is one of the countries with the highest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the EU-27. Consequently, mitigation strategies need to be reported and quantified to accomplish the goals and requirements of the Kyoto ... -
Short-term dynamics of evaporative enrichment of xylem water in woody stems: implications for ecohydrology
(Oxford University Press, 2017)In ecohydrology, it is generally assumed that xylem water reflects the water source used by plants. Several studies have reported isotopic enrichment within woody tissues, particularly during dormancy periods or after long ... -
Should the impact factor of the year of publication or the last available one be used when evaluating scientists?
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2020)Aim of study: A common procedure when evaluating scientists is considering the journal's quartile of impact factors (within a category), many times considering the quartile in the year of publication instead of the last ... -
Similar worldwide patterns in the sex pheromone signal and response in the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-02)The response of Grapholita molesta (Busck) males to three-component sex pheromone blends containing a 100% ratio of the major sex pheromone component, (Z)-8-dodecenyl acetate and a 10% ratio of (Z)-8-dodecenol, but with ... -
Simulating climate change and land use effects on soil nitrous oxide emissions in Mediterranean conditions using the Daycent model
(Elsevier, 2017)In Mediterranean agroecosystems, limited information exists about possible impacts of climate change on soil N2O emissions under different land uses. This paper presents a modelling study with a dual objective. Firstly, ... -
Simultaneous expression of Arabidopsis ρ-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and MPBQ methyltransferase in transgenic corn kernels triples the tocopherol content
(Springer Verlag, 2011)The quantity and composition of tocopherols (compounds with vitamin E activity) vary widely among different plant species reflecting the expression, activity and substrate specificity of enzymes in the corresponding ... -
Sink limitations to yield in wheat : how could it be reduced?
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)Further genetic gains in wheat yield are required to match expected increases in demand. This may require the identification of physiological attributes able to produce such improvement, as well as the genetic bases ... -
Situación actual de la resistencia de carpocapsa a insecticidas en el cultivo de manzano de Lleida
(Eumedia, 2011)Desde 2004 hemos estudiado la resistencia a insecticidas en poblaciones de campo de carpocapsa, Cydia pomonella (L.) procedentes de fincas de manzano de Lleida con problemas de control. Por medio de la medición del incremento ... -
Smoke, pheromone, and kairomone olfactory receptor neurons in males and females of the pine sawyer Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier) (Coleoptera:Cerambycidae)
(Elsevier, 2015-11)The response of antennal olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) of Monochamus galloprovincialis to several odourants was tested using single sensillum electrophysiology. Behaviourally active pheromone, and kairomone (host and ... -
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 ... -
Soil aggregation and organic carbon protection in a no-tillage chronosequence under Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)Low-intensity soil management systems like no-tillage (NT) are being increasingly accepted as an essential part of sustainable farming systems. The objective of this work was to study the effects of NT maintenance over ... -
Soil bulk density and penetration resistance under different tillage and crop management systems and their relationship with barley root growth
(American Society of Agronomy, 2003)To study the effects of fallow and tillage on soil physical properties and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) root growth, an experiment was conducted for several years on two soils of contrasting depth: deep, a Fluventic Xerochrept ... -
Soil carbon dioxide and methane fluxes as affected by tillage and N fertilization in dryland conditions
(Springer Verlag, 2014)Background and aims The effects of tillage and N fertilization on CO2 and CH4 emissions are a cause for concern worldwide. This paper quantifies these effects in a Mediterranean dryland area. Methods CO2 and CH4 fluxes ... -
