Population Biology and Interactions of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Their Benefits in Strawberry Cultivation [PDF]
The diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and relative abundance among species may affect their ecological impact. Species-specific primers for qPCR quantification of Funneliformis geosporus and F.mosseae DNA were developed to quantify their ...

Water loss in horticultural products. Modelling, data analysis and theoretical considerations [PDF]
The water loss of individual fruit (melon, plum and mandarin) was analysed using the traditional diffusion based approach and a kinetic approach. Applying simple non linear regression, both approaches are the same, resulting in a quite acceptable ...

RESPONSES OF NECTARINE TO REGULATED DEFICIT IRRIGATION AT THE FIELD SCALE
Irrigated agriculture is the primary user of water worldwide. Any method that reduces the consumption of water in irrigated agriculture without a reduction in yield and fruit quality would be highly desirable. One of the approaches currently being implemented in fruit trees and vines is regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). It consists of the application

Regulated deficit irrigation during the kernel-filling period and optimal irrigation rates in almond
The use of Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) in almond, applied during the kernel-filling phase, was evaluated over four consecutive years. To determine the reference optimal irrigation rate, three treatments were applied: T-100, which was irrigated by replacing crop evapotranspiration; T-130, which was irrigated by applying 30% more water than in T ...

Predictive Control Applied to a Solar Desalination Plant Connected to a Greenhouse with Daily Variation of Irrigation Water Demand [PDF]
The water deficit in the Mediterranean area is a known matter severely affecting agriculture. One way to avoid the aquifers’ exploitation is to supply water to crops by using thermal desalination processes.
