Development of a height estimation method based on the diameter at breast height of Prosopis alba Grisebach selected populations from a progeny trial in Santiago del Estero, Argentina
(2019)
The main objective of this work was to develop a height estimation method of Prosopis alba based on the diameter at breast height (DBH) of populations with superior characteristics selected through a progeny trial located ...
Variability of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) fruit traits impacting pine nut yield
(2019)
Key message: Cone to pine nut yield (PY), an important commercial feature of stone pine cropping, was higher in Chile than in main producer countries. PY is highly variable along years and depends on pine nut number inside ...
Site index for Prosopis alba plantations in the semi-arid chaco through mixed models
(2019)
The classification of sites through curves of Site Index allows to predict the yield of the planted forests at a certain age of the stand and to plan cultural treatments. The goal of this research was to compare linear and ...
Utilization of kañawa (chenopodium pallidicaule aellen) flour in pasta making
(2019)
Kañawa (Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen) is an Andean crop harvested in Bolivia and Perú. Because of the characteristics and properties of kañawa seed, its flour can be used to replace partially wheat flour in pasta to ...
Effect of laccase from Trametes versicolor on the oxidative stability of edible vegetable oils
(2019)
The increasing demand of natural food from consumers has limited the use of traditional methods to control the oxidation of lipids, such as synthetic antioxidants and hydrogenation. Besides, it has been reported that the ...
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 ...
Site-specific data on herbicide soil retention and ancillary environmental variables
(2019)
This article presents original geospatial data on soil adsorption coefficient (Kd) for two widely used herbicides in agriculture, glyphosate and atrazine. Besides Kds, the dataset includes site-specific soil data: pH, total ...
Incomplete milkings in automatic milking systems
(2019)
Automatic milking systems (AMS) rely on voluntary and distributed attendance of cows to the dairy facility throughout lactation. This generates variation in milking intervals (MI), defined as the period of time that elapses ...
Addressing alternative approaches for spatial modeling of herbicide retention in soil
(2019)
Glyphosate retention coefficient (Kd) is modeled as function of soil variables, from a regional sampling, using: Ordinary and Partial Least Square regression, Random Forest, Generalized Boosted regression (GB), and Bayesian ...
