Bottom-up effect of nitrogen fertilization on the density of the corn leafhopper and its impact on both disease incidence and natural parasitism by Virla, Eduardo Gabriel, Luft Albarracín, Erica B., Díaz, Cecilia, Van Nieuwenhove, Guido Alejandro, Fernandez, Franco Daniel, Coll Aráoz, María Victoria, Melchert, Nicolás A., Conci, Luis Rogelio, Gimenez, Maria De La Paz

“…It is the vector of three relevant plant pathogens that are responsible for severe yield losses. Modern agriculture is dependent on the addition of fertilizers, especially nitrogen, which may influence the nutritional quality and/or the defense ability of the plants possibly with a subsequent increment of herbivorous insect populations. …”

Biomass, Bioenergy and Biomaterials. FTA Highlights of a Decade 2011–2021 by Baral, Himlal, Sears, Robin R, Brandy, Michael, Meybeck, Alexandre, Gitz, Vincent, Njenga, Mary, Li X Yanxia, Duguma, Lalisa A, López, Arlene, Martius, Cristopher

“…Central to meeting this demand is the question of how woody biomass production and use can be reconciled with biodiversity protection, climate change resilience and mitigation, and inclusive prosperity for local communities. Modern, efficient and sustainable forms of bioenergy and biomaterial production and use can play a key role in combating climate change while providing social, economic and environmental benefits to rural communities and critical industries, but these forms are not available to everyone. …”

El desarrollo del potencial agrícola en los trópicos húmedos de la América Central by Plath, C.V.

“…Other lands, Classes III and IV, should not be developed until a more rational system of exploitation is known. The modern, commercial agriculture recommended for the humid tropics can be provided by farms organized as (a) large, family farms, or (b) plantation farms, or possibly as (c ) cooperative farms. …”

A mini review of the impacts of deficit irrigation strategies for walnut (Juglans regia L.) production in semiarid conditions by Calvo, Franco Emmanuel, Silvente, Sonia Teresa, Trentacoste, Eduardo Rafael

“…Walnut production is seeking higher yields, early entry into production and kernel quality, with technologies that combine new cultivars, mechanical harvesting, more intensive plant density, and modern irrigation systems. The walnut crop has expanded to non-traditional growing areas, some of which have semiarid climates characterized by low water availability for irrigation. …”

Expression of grapevine AINTEGUMENTA-like genes is associated with variation in ovary and berry size by Chialva, Constanza Soledad, Eichler, Estefanía, Grissi, Cecilia Carolina, Muñoz, Claudio Javier, Gomez Talquenca, Gonzalo, Martínez-Zapater, José M., Lijavetzky, Diego

“…This trait has been a main selection target and could be involved in divergent selection processes leading to the differentiation between modern table and wine cultivars. Even though its determination is highly influenced by cultural practices, several regions within the grapevine genome have been identified affecting berry size, either directly or indirectly through their effect on seed content. …”
