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 ...
Detection and characterization of a Cucumber mosaic virus isolate infecting peperina, a species native to Argentina
(2013)
Minthostachys mollis (Kunth.) Griseb., “peperina”, a member of the family Lamiaceae, is an aromatic species used in modern pharmacology and
medicine. It is widely distributed in the Andes, from Venezuela and Colombia to ...
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 ...
Factors influencing the abundance of pests in production fields and rates of interception of Dracaena marginata imported from Costa Rica
(2013)
Importation of live nursery plants, like Dracaena marginata Lamoureux (Ruscaceae), can provide a significant pathway for the entry of foliar pests from overseas into the United States. We studied the abundance of foliar ...
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 ...
Labile and recalcitrant carbon in crop residue and soil under no-till practices in central region of Argentina
(2013)
We evaluated the effects of the amount and type of C compounds (labile/recalcitrant) of crop residues on the
soil organic matter (SOM) components under no-tillage practices in semiarid region of Argentina, with the aim ...
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 ...
