Rendimiento de cultivos de guisantes en diferentes suelos agrícolas
The yield of pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Lincoln) grown on 9 different soils of Granada has been studied to know the effectivity of the symbiosis established between native Rhizobium leguminosarum and the cultivar assayed. Results obtained have show high differences between the yields of plants grown in each of the soil assayed probably due to the ...

Balancing quality with quantity: A case study of UK bread wheat
Increasing crop productivity is often proposed as a key goal for meeting the food security demands of a growing global population. However, achieving high crop yields alone without meeting end‐use quality requirements is counter to this objective and can lead to negative environmental and sustainability issues.
