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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Drones y digitalización para el manejo localizado en maíz
(Editorial Agrícola Española, 2021)La transformación digital de la agricultura se apoya en tecnologías como la teledetección con drones, que permite monitorizar el estado del cultivo a un nivel de detalle sin precedentes. Este artículo describe aspectos ... -
El cultiu de camelina
(IRTA, 2021)La camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) és un cultiu oleaginós conegut i cultivat des de l'Edat de Bronze que va ser reemplaçat per altres cultius més productius cap al segle XVI. Des de fa uns anys, però, i a causa de ... -
Weed suppression capacity of camelina (Camelina sativa) against winter weeds: The example of corn-poppy (Papaver rhoeas)
(Elsevier, 2022)We would like to thank the technicians who helped during sowing and harvest time, mainly Maria Casamitjana and Ezequiel Arque?, and the students that contributed to the maintenance of the experiment and sampling, S`onia ... -
Fairy ring-induced soil potassium depletion gradients reshape microbial community composition in a montane grassland
(WILEY, 2022)Fairy rings promoting circular greening belts in the vegetation can shape soil microbial communities by altering soil conditions. Knowledge about soil variables involved in this process is incomplete. We characterised the ... -
Approach to demography of ALS-resistant glebionis coronaria as influenced by management factors: tillage, allelopathic crops and herbicides
(MDPI, 2022)Glebionis coronaria (L.) Cass. ex Spach is one of the most serious weeds in cereal crops in Northern Tunisia. Our previous studies have confirmed the presence of resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in G. coronaria, ... -
Current status of herbicide resistance in the iberian peninsula: future trends and challenges
(MPDI, 2022)The evolution of herbicide resistance in weeds has emerged as one of the most serious threats to sustainable food production systems, which necessitates the evaluation of herbicides to determine their efficacy. The first ...
