• Increases in nitrogen use efficiency decrease nitrous oxide emissions but can penalize yield in sugarcane 

      Chalco Vera, Jorge Elías; Portocarrero, Rocio; Piñeiro, Gervasio; Acreche, Martin Moises (Springer, 2021-11)
      Nitrogen (N) fertilization strategies focused on increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and decreasing nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are important for sustainable crop production. In sugarcane, however, a joint assessment ...
    • Molecular identification and pathogenicity of Rhizoctonia spp. from tobacco growing areas in northwestern Argentina 

      Mercado Cardenas, Guadalupe Eugenia; Galvan, Marta Zulema; Barrera, Viviana Andrea; Rodriguero, Marcela Silvina; Carmona, Marcelo Anibal; March, Guillermo Juan; Ramallo, Ana Carolina; Shew, H. David (2015-06)
      In Argentina, more than 60 % of the tobacco crops are grown in the northwestern part of the country and where Rhizoctonia solani leads to a reduction in crop yield and quality. In this study, 35 isolates of Rhizoctonia ...
    • Physiological bases of genetic gains in sugarcane yield in Argentina 

      Acreche, Martin Moises; Saez, Julio Victor; Chalco Vera, Jorge Elias (Elsevier, 2015-04)
      Breeding and management efforts during the 20th century have increased sugar yield in almost all sugarcane areas worldwide. However, a close analysis of the trends during the last decades reveals that the rate of increase ...
    • Sowing density rather than row spacing influences chia radiation use and yield 

      Anuch Tiranti, Juan Valentín; Curti, Ramiro Nestor; Acreche, Martin Moises (Wiley, 2022-10)
      Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) production worldwide has been encouraged due to its high essential fatty acid content that is effective for reducing cardiovascular affections. However, few studies have assessed the sowing density ...
    • The critical period for grain yield in chia (Salvia hispanica) 

      Diez, Josefina; Anuch Tiranti, Juan Valentín; Sadras, Victor Oscar; Acreche, Martin Moises (CSIRO, 2021-03-30)
      Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) grain is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for human nutrition and prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as dietary fibre and quality protein. Demand for chia ...
