Effects of Defoliation Timing and Intensity on Yield Components and Grain Quality of Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) [PDF]
PlantsUnderstanding plant tolerance to defoliation is crucial for sustainable pest management and reducing pesticide use in food production. This study explores quinoa’s (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) responses to foliar damage, which have been largely unexamined.

Tree canopy defoliation can reveal growth decline in mid-latitude temperate forests
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Climate and weather fluctuations and changes are the most important environmental drivers of tree canopy defoliation, an indicator of forest health. We examined the relationship between tree defoliation and Basal Area Increment (BAI), a dimension of tree

Distribution of Non-Structural Carbohydrates and Root Structure of Plantago lanceolata L. under Different Defoliation Frequencies and Intensities [PDF]
PlantsPlantago lanceolata L. (plantain) increases herbage dry matter (DM) production and quality during warm and dry conditions due to its deep roots and drought tolerance and reduces nitrogen losses in grazing systems compared to traditional pastures. However,

Variation of Stem Radius in Response to Defoliation in Boreal Conifers
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 In the long term, defoliation strongly decreases tree growth and survival. Insect outbreaks are a typical cause of severe defoliation. Eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) outbreaks are one of the most significant disturbances of Picea

Sex-specific responses of Populus deltoides to defoliation
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2017 There has been an increasing interest in understanding the differential effects of sexual dimorphism on plant stress responses. However, there is no clear pattern in the responses of the sexes to defoliation.
