La microparcela de campo como un método biológico rápido para evaluar la fertilidad del suelo by Martini, J. A.

“…It is the author´s contention that since the vegetative growth of corn at one month of age does not always correlate significantly to grain yield, the field microplots have a limited use and they should not be utilized to solve intricate problems but rather for preliminary or complementary evaluation of the nutritional status of soils. With this in mind it is felt that the factorial, 2, fully satisfies the needs. …”

Light interception, yield, spring regrowth and quality of Chloris gayana under different defoliation regimes by Ruolo, Maria Soledad, Perez, Hector Eduardo, Rodriguez, Adriana Mabel

“…Forage yield was lower under the higher (300 GDD) than under the lower (500 GDD) frequency defoliation (6699 vs. 8961 kg DM/ha, respectively), but forage showed higher leaf percentage (69.8 vs. 53.2%) and better nutritional value at 300 GDD (17.4 vs. 15.6%, 64.1 vs. 62.1%, 60.9 vs. 63.2% and 67.7 vs. 62.4% of crude protein, dry matter digestibility, neutral detergent fiber and its digestibility, respectively) than at 500 GDD. …”

Patterns of resource distribution among conspecific larvae in two fruit fly species : Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (diptera: tephritidae) by Liendo, Marí­a Clara, Devescovi, Francisco, Boca, Rosa Teresa, Cladera, Jorge Luis, Vera, María Teresa, Segura, Diego Fernando

“…Because larvae are incapable of leaving the fruit in search of non-infested fruit, they are forced to share nutritional resources and eventually compete with other larvae for these. 2 In the present study, we investigated the effect of intraspecific competition on the development of A. fraterculus and C. capitata larvae, and compared the strategies adopted by these species. 3 To this end, newly-hatched larvae were transferred into a container with a fixed amount of larval diet at increasing larval densities and several developmental parameters were measured. 4 The two species showed similarities and differences in the way in which they responded to an increasing density. …”
