Phosphorus availability in the central area of the Argentine Pampean region. 1: Relationship between soil parameters, adsorption processes and wheat, soybean and corn yields in different soil and management environments
(2013)
Retention of phosphorus in the soil solid phase is a complex process, caused by a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms that determine pools of compounds with different degrees of solubility. The amount of P ...
Proximate composition and seed lipid components of kabuli-type chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) from Argentina
(2013)
Chickpea is an important pulse crop with a wide range of potential nutritional benefits because of its chemical composition. The purpose of the current work was to provide the chemical composition of “kabuli”-type chickpea ...
Response of different potato cultivars to the presence of Nacobbus aberrans
(2013)
Nacobbus aberrans occurs in temperate and subtropical areas of South and North America. In Argentina, the species is widely distributed although accurate knowledge of the host range is unknown for many populations. In this ...
Aquacrop model calibration in potato and its use to estimate yield variability under field conditions
(2013)
AquaCrop model estimates the crop pro ductivity decrease in response to water stress, determining the biomass (B)
based on water productivity (WP) and accumulated transpiration (ΣTr); and the yield (Y) is calculated ...
Anatomophysiological modifications induced by solid agricultural waste (vermicompost) in lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa L.)
(2013)
The objective of this work was to analyze the impact of a vermicompost treatment on anatomical and physiological
modifications related to assimilate partitioning and growth in lettuce seedlings. The results showed that ...
Introgression of peanut smut resistance from landraces to elite peanut cultivars (Arachis hypogaea L.)
(2019)
Smut disease caused by the fungal pathogen Thecaphora frezii Carranza & Lindquist is
threatening the peanut production in Argentina. Fungicides commonly used in the peanut crop have shown little or no effect controlling ...
Evaluation and comparison of protein composition and quality in half-sib families of opaque-2 maize (Zea mays L.) from Argentina
(2019)
The objective of this study was to characterize and compare the protein composition of half-sib families of opaque-2 maize from Argentina through progeny testing. Grain hardness, protein fractions, amino acid content and ...
Simple models to estimate soybean and corn percent ground cover with vegetation indices from MODIS
(2013)
Remote sensing images are a good source of crop and soil information, which can be used to derive agronomic information for field management and yield prediction. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and corn (Zea mays L.) ...
Fixed-precision sequential sampling plans for estimating alfalfa caterpillar, Colias lesbia, egg density in alfalfa, Medicago sativa, fields in Córdoba, Argentina
(2013)
The alfalfa caterpillar, Colias lesbia (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), is a major pest of alfalfa,
Medicago sativa L. (Fabales: Fabaceae), crops in Argentina. Its management is based mainly on
chemical control of ...
Experimental and modelling approach to the legume-Rhizobium interaction: test of plant-host sanctions in co-inoculated plants with fixing and non-fixing strains
(2013)
We tested the plant host sanction hypothesis using soybean plants co-inoculated with two rhizobial strains, a normally N2 fixing strain and a mutant derivative that lacks nitrogenase activity but has the same nodulation ...
