Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

First Detailed Record of Jikradia olitoria (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in the Swiss Southern Alps and Evaluation of Its Current Potential as a Vector of 16SrV‐Phytoplasmas

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jikradia olitoria Say is a Nearctic leafhopper that was recently reported in several European countries. Given its role as the vector of phytoplasmas associated with Grapevine Yellows diseases (GYD) in its native range, its presence in European vineyard agroecosystems could represent an important phytosanitary risk.

Attract‐and‐Kill Method Lowers Population Density of Drosophila Suzukii in Grapes and Cherries in Greece

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a worldwide invasive pest of soft‐skinned fruits. In this study, we evaluated an attract‐and‐kill (A&K) method using a slow‐release matrix, SPLAT (Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology), formulated with attractants tailored for D.

Local Elites in Chile's Pisco Valley: Dispossession, Legal Mobilisation and Intertwined Citizenship

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In countries in the Global South, citizenship is often closely tied to access to water and land ownership. In Latin America, the literature has primarily explored social mobilisation and identity reconfiguration in response to development‐driven processes of land and water dispossession affecting peasants, rural and Indigenous communities ...

Trade Wars, International Supply Chains, and Business Associations: Historical Evidence from Norway and Portugal

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the 1921–1923 trade war between Norway and Portugal as a historical case for exploring business responses to deglobalization and trade disruption. Focusing on the international supply chains (ISCs) of port wine and salted and dried cod, it investigates how business actors contributed to the recoupling of ISCs after a ...

How Brokers Enable Collective Identity Formation in Fragmented Industry Groups: The Case of Franciacorta Wineries

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This study illuminates the role of brokers, that is, actors spanning inter‐organizational boundaries, in the process of collective identity formation in fragmented industry groups. Through an in‐depth longitudinal analysis of the Franciacorta wineries from the 1960s to the 1990s, we uncover how technical consultants acting as brokers ...

Root age structure governs long‐term architecture and hydraulic function in perennial plants: a modelling framework

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of the perennial extensions implemented in CPlantBox, implemented for Vitis vinifera. Summary Perennial root systems develop over decades and exhibit continuous turnover of structural and absorptive components, yet most root architecture models treat woody roots as permanent and neglect root age structure.

maxRgain—An R Package for Maximising Genetic Gains in Polyclonal Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclonal selection, which was developed in the context of ancient grapevine varieties, uses intravarietal variability to improve the resilience and sustainability of viticulture. Based on quantitative genetics and linear mixed models, this approach predicts genotypic effects to select a group of clones that, as a whole, satisfy target ...

Stomatal Sensitivity of Grapevine Varieties Relates to Changes to Berry Growth and ABA During Water Deficit

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stomatal sensitivity of grapevine varieties has been largely investigated to better understand differences among varieties in water deficit (WD) tolerance. Grapevine varieties also exhibit distinct berry growth and ripening responses under WD, but whether the nature and magnitude of these responses can be predicted by stomatal sensitivity ...
