Combination of Spatial and Temporal Diversification in European Cropping Systems [PDF]

, 2018
There is a lack of results on the advantages and limitations of combining different crop diversification strategies both in time and space, which makes it difficult for famers and advisers to find relevant information for the transition towards more ...

Colonization and spatiotemporal distribution of bruchid pests in lentil and faba bean fields

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study of 104 fields identifies Bruchus signaticornis in lentils and B. rufimanus in faba beans as the sole grain‐damaging species. Their uniform distribution within fields and the strong effect of regulatory factors on larvae and egg survival emphasize the need for species‐specific, phenology‐based and spatially informed integrated pest management

Toxicity of aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. about Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. strongly inhibit Euphorbia heterophylla L. germination and early seedling growth, but show mild phytotoxicity on mature plants, paradoxically promoting biomass via antioxidants. Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating challenge of herbicide‐resistant weeds, exemplified by Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Survival of a potential bacterial biocontrol agent in the soil and its impact on microbial communities

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
In soil microcosms, the candidate Bacillus persisted ≥6 months and caused modest community shifts whose transience and magnitude were soil dependent. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major crop pathogen commonly managed using fungicides.

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Functionalisation of pea protein by tryptic hydrolysis – Characterisation of interfacial and functional properties [PDF]

, 2018
With regard to applications in dispersed systems (i.e. emulsions), improving the poor solubility of pea protein in the pH-range applicable to foods (pH 3 to pH 7) is a prerequisite.
