Abstract During the past few decades, a range of digital strategies for Nitrogen (N) management using various types input data and recommendation frameworks have been developed. Despite much research, benefits accrued from such technology equivocal. In this work, thirteen methods mid-season N recommendations in cereal production systems were evaluated simultaneously, ranging simple mass balance through to non-mechanistic approaches based on machine learning. To achieve this, an extensive...
Food insecurity presents a critical global challenge, with developing countries disproportionately affected by its impacts. From 2020 to 2022, the Philippines reported highest number of individuals experiencing moderate or severe food in Southeast Asia. Rapid urbanization exacerbates this problem significantly increasing demand urban areas, particularly densely populated regions. As highly urbanized locality, Malabon faces heightened risks due rising population and limited agricultural...
Abstract. Soil aggregate stability is a useful indicator of soil physical health and can be used to monitor condition through time. A novel method quantifying stability, based on the relative increase in footprint area aggregates as they disintegrate when immersed water, has been developed performed using smartphone application – SLAKES. In this study SLAKES was obtain slaking index (SI) values topsoil samples (0 10 cm) at 158 sites assess mixed agricultural landscape. large range SI 0 7.3...
Declines in soil multifunctionality (e.gsoil capacity to provide food and energy) are closely related changes the microbiome (e.g., diversity) Determining ecological drivers promoting such is critical knowledge for protecting functions. However, soil-microbe interactions highly variable within environmental gradients may not be consistent across studies. Here we propose that analysis of community dissimilarity (β-diversity) a valuable tool overviewing spatiotemporal changes. Indeed,...
Abstract Microorganisms play pivotal roles in soil processes. Metabolically related microorganisms constitute functional groups, and diverse microbial groups control nutrient cycling soils. This study explored environmental (i.e., rainfall, temperature) factors driving the distribution of bacterial involved carbon (C) paired natural agricultural ecosystems. Soil samples were collected at a regional scale covering gradients temperature rainfall across two orthogonal transects (~1000 km) New...
Lifecycle of phytoparasitic nematode takes place in the rhizosphere, therefore their breeding, parasitism and mobility dynamics are inevitably influenced by soil-root interaction, A study was performed to evaluate influence Vitis rootstocks some plant parasitic nematodes under different soil conditions.Nematode populations were assessed vinifera L. var.Chardonnay plants grafted on two (K5BB, SO4) ungrafted 'Chardonnay' as a control three diferent alluvial soils central zone Chile.Soils...
Infection studies with Mycosphaerella fijiensis, causal agent of black Sigatoka disease banana (Musa AAA), demonstrated that the abaxial leaf surface is primary infection site. Inoculation plants M. fijiensis ascospores on young leaves resulted in symptoms 100% inoculated within 18 to 30 days; whereas only 5% adaxial showed 10 weeks. Disease appeared more rapidly new, emerging than first and second fully expanded leaves. Application chlorothalonil (1.08 kg a.i. ha -1 ) 99 control treated...
Mango (Mangifera indica) is an abundant tree of Cuban flora that known for many healing properties and a deposit bees as source raw materials the propolis production. This work aimed to determine if resin mango felled bark was used by honeybees in elaboration specific type propolis. could be possible qualitatively comparison its samples with quality this through physicochemical characteristics. To do this, collected hydroalcoholic extracts were prepared. From botanical origin determined...
Context Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has been extensively investigated for non-destructive and rapid determination of pH chemical composition meat including water, crude protein, intramuscular fat (IMF) stable isotopes. Smaller, cheaper NIRS sensors that connect to a smartphone could enhance the accessibility uptake this technology by consumers. However, limited wavelength range these restrict accuracy predictions compared with benchtop laboratory models. Aims To compare...
