Influence of regulated deficit irrigation on arbequina’s crop yield and EVOOs quality and sensory profile
(MDPI, 2023)Regulated deficit irrigation in super-high-density (SHD) olive orchards is a well-known strategy to save water and control plant vigor, without decreasing fruit or oil yield. As there is controversial information about its ... -
Understanding drainage dynamics and irrigation management in a semi-arid mediterranean basin
(MDPI, 2023)Irrigation is one of the main users of water worldwide and its overuse may affect the natural regimes of water systems. To avoid this, drainage and irrigation management needs to be improved. This study aims to determine ... -
Soil abiotic properties shape plant functional diversity across temperate grassland plant communities.
(Springer, 2022-11-22)There is increasing awareness that plant community functional properties can be an important driver of ecosystem functioning. However, major knowledge gaps exist about how environmental factors, especially climate and soil ... -
Cover crop mixture expression is influenced by nitrogen availability and growing degree days
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-27)Cover crop mixtures can provide multiple ecosystem services but provisioning of these services is contingent upon the expression of component species in the mixture. From the same seed mixture, cover crop mixture expression ... -
Net ecosystem CO2 exchange in mountain grasslands is seriously endangered by the temperature increase in the eastern pyrenees
(MDPI, 2022-11-27)Mediterranean mountain grasslands, including the Pyrenees, are highly vulnerable to climate change, due to the increasing temperatures and heat weaves frequency, among other factors. However, the effects of the increased ... -
Effects of land use and climate on carbon and nitrogen pool partitioning in European mountain grasslands
(Elsevier, 2022)European mountain grasslands are increasingly affected by land-use changes and climate, which have been suggested to exert important controls on grassland carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. However, so far there has been ... -
The influence of olive tree fertilization on the phenols in virgin olive oils. A review
(Consejo Superior Investigaciones Científicas-CSIC, 2022)The total phenols in virgin olive oil are highly dependent on cultivar, but also on ripening stage and other agronomic factors. The focus of most studies on agronomic factors has been irrigation, while ... -
Organic mulches as an alternative to conventional under-vine weed management in Mediterranean irrigated vineyards
(MDPI, 2022)Vineyard growth and grape yield can be significantly reduced by weeds, especially when these are located in the under-vine zone. Traditional weed management consists of recurrent tillage, which is associated with soil ... -
Molecular mechanisms of herbicide resistance in weeds
(MDPI, 2022)Herbicides have become one of the most widespread weed-control tools in the world since their advent in the mid-20th century [1]. Nowadays, they are still being used in most conventional cropping systems in modern agriculture ... -
R software code to process and extract information from 3D Lidar point clouds
(2019)In the process of electronic canopy characterization, it is necessary to process efficiently point clouds obtained by means of sensors or other capturing information systems. These point clouds may have different origin ... -
Tribenuron-methyl metabolism and the rare Pro197Phe double mutation together with 2,4-D metabolism and reduced absorption can evolve in Papaver rhoeas with multiple and cross herbicide resistance to ALS inhibitors and auxin mimics
(2022)Multiple resistance mechanisms to ALS inhibitors and auxin mimics in two Papaver rhoeas populations were investigated in wheat fields from Portugal. Dose-response trials, also with malathion (a cytochrome P450 inhibitor), ... -
Winter camelina seed quality in different growing environments across Northern America and Europe
(Elsevier, 2021)Winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz], a multifunctional oilseed crop, offers the potential to sustainably diversify cropping systems across the USA and Europe. However, to promote winter camelina as a widespread ... -
Manejo de malas hierbas bajo la línea del viñedo mediante acolchados orgánicos y su efecto sobre el vigor del cultivo
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Hortícolas, 2022)En una parcela de viñedo de Raimat (Lleida) cv. ‘Chardonnay’ se estudió, durante la campaña 2019, el efecto de cuatro estrategias de manejo de malas hierbas bajo las cepas: 1) laboreo con intercepas, 2) pases de segadora, ... -
Impact of buried debris from agricultural biodegradable plastic mulches on two horticultural crop plants: tomato and lettuce
(Elsevier, 2023)Crop safety Biodegradable mulches (BDM) are increasingly valued and used for substituting non-biodegradable plastic mulches polluting agricultural soils. They are tilled into soil, where they fragment and release compounds ... -
Comparing the emergence of Echinochloa crus-galli populations in different locations. Part I: variations in emergence timing and behaviour of two populations
(John Wiley and Sons, inc., 2022)Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv. is one of the most important weeds. It is distributed worldwide and has adapted to diverse habitats and climatic conditions. This study aimed to compare the emergence patterns of two ... -
Assessment of different N treatments in Hedgerow Almond Orchards by means of LiDAR point clouds
(2022)Monitoring of canopy status in fruit tree orchards allows better decisions in the canopy management, such as pruning or fertirrigation. LiDAR is an effective tool to acquire accurate 3D geometric and structural data, ... -
Análisis del dosel foliar de setos olivo mediante LiDAR y su relación con la productividad y atributos de calidad del aceite
(2022)La gestión del cultivo del olivo, particularmente en condiciones superintensivas, es clave para alcanzar la productividad y la calidad del aceite necesarias para mantener las expectativas económicas de las explotaciones. ... -
Satellite multispectral indices to estimate canopy parameters and within‑feld management zones in super‑intensive almond orchards
(Springer Nature, 2022)Continuous canopy status monitoring is an essential factor to support and precisely apply orchard management actions such as pruning, pesticide and foliar treatment applications, or fertirrigation, among others. For that, ... -
PlanetScope Vegetation Indices to Estimate UAV and LiDAR-derived Canopy Parameters in a Super-Intensive Almond Orchard
(2022)The continuous monitoring of geometric and structural parameters is a key aspect in sustainable and accurate orchard management. Although LiDAR and UAV photogrammetry are widely used to measure canopy architecture, there ...
