(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

chemical control of ...
Sustainability/resilience of soil organic matter components in an Argentinean arid region
(2013)
This short communication presents a novel approach to determining the soil sustainability of productive practices in an Argentinean arid region, using the resilience degree of soil organic matter components. The study was ...
Resilience of nitrification process in agricultural and restored soils of central Argentina
(2013)
The aim of this study was to assess the resilience degree of soil nitrification process (by nitrate content, nitrification rate, and nitrifier abundance measurements), in soils of central Argentina. Soil nitrification ...
