Zoophytophagous predator-induced defences restrict accumulation of the tomato spotted wilt virus por Bouagga, Sarra, Depalo, Laura, Rubio, Luis, Pérez-Hedo, Mertixell, Urbaneja, Alberto

“…BACKGROUND: The use of zoophytophagous predators in protected crops has been widely adopted to manage pests in southernEurope. We hypothesized that plant defence responses would be induced by zoophytophagous predators and this inductioncould affect plant virus occurrence; the phytophagy of these predators induces plant defences similarly to that of viral infection.Therefore, we evaluated whether or not mirid predator-activated plant defences limited the accumulation ofTomato SpottedWilt Virus(TSWV) in mechanically infected sweet pepper.RESULTS: Our results revealed TSWV accumulation in mirid-punctured plants to be significantly lower than in intact plants. …”

Wheat por Gunnarsson, Astrid

“…Therefore this study sought to identify the parameters on which the price of wheat is dependent on by using a reduced form model. The perspective adopted was that of farmers. The model proved able to identify the main factors determining the annual price fluctuations in wheat, with all variables included having an impact on the wheat price, except export quantity in the previous year. …”

Facilitating the shift from tree planting to promoting community-based forest enterprises in the Philippines por Wardell, D.A.

“…This will include greater recognition of the role of indirect incentives, the importance of smallholders’ tree and forest management, and fostering entrepreneurship and the marketing of timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) by smallholders. The recently adopted Forest Investment Road Map (FIRM), with the vision, ‘Revitalized Philippine Forestry Investment towards inclusive growth and sustainable development through local and foreign direct investment to increase the GDP contribution of the forest sector in the national economy’ is a welcome initiative by DENR-FMB to promote this transition (2019).1 Drawing on successful experience with decentralized environmental management and private-sector initiatives, this brief presents a tabulated summary of recommended activities to help restore investor confidence in the Philippines and the emergence of stronger and better-organized smallholders, as well as community-based forest enterprises (CBFEs) producing both timber and NTFPs…”
