Is beef quality affected by the inclusion of distiller grains in cattle diets?
(Elsevier, 2022-05-09)This study aimed to analyze the effect of including increasing levels of distiller grains (DG) in beef cattle feeding diets on meat quality from an integral approach. To this end, we analyzed the meat from 36 yearling ... -
Is closing the agricultural yield gap a “risky” endeavor?
(Elsevier, 2023-05)CONTEXT: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has the climatic and biophysical potential to grow the crops it needs to meet rapidly growing food demand; however, agricultural productivity remains low. While potential maize yields in ... -
Is Dairy Effluent an Alternative for Maize Crop Fertigation in Semiarid Regions? An Approach to Agronomic and Environmental Effects
(MDPI, 2022-08)The reuse of effluents from intensive dairy farms combined with localized irrigation techniques (fertigation) has become a promising alternative to increase crop productivity while reducing the environmental impact of waste ... -
Is forage productivity of meadows influenced by the afforestation of upstream hillsides? A study in NW Patagonia
(2011)Meadows are important reserves of water, with a key role in the maintenance of the biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems. In Patagonia, Argentina, afforestation with fast-growing exotic conifers has slowly but ... -
Is forage productivity of meadows influenced by the afforestation of upstream hillsides? A study in NW Patagonia = Afecta la presencia de forestaciones ubicadas en las laderas aguas arriba de mallines su productividad forrajera? Un estudio en el Noroeste Patagónico
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), (España), 2011-04-13)Meadows are important reserves of water, with a key role in the maintenance of the biodiversity and productivity of ecosystems. In Patagonia, Argentina, afforestation with fast-growing exotic conifers has slowly but ... -
Is local best? Examining the evidence for local adaptation in trees and its scale
(2015-10)Background: Although the importance of using local provenance planting stock for woodland production, habitat conservation and restoration remains contentious, the concept is easy to understand, attractive and easy to ... -
Is Pasture Cropping a Valid Weed Management Tool?
(MDPI, 2020-01)The aim of the present work was to study the feasibility of pasture cropping under the Mediterranean conditions prevailing in central Spain and its potential as a weed management tool. Three cropping systems were assessed: ... -
Is Taeniothrips inconsequens (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) a pest of stone and pip fruit trees in Argentina?
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2022-06-13)The presence of the “pear thrips” Taeniothrips inconsequens has been cited in Argentina in 1921 by Teresa Joan. This has affected exports of fruit tree propagation materials. However currently there is a concern about that ... -
Is the argentine postharvest system ready to handle more and better grains?
(Elsevier, 2019-09)This is the first comprehensive study of the grain postharvest system of Argentina with the following objectives: 1) to group the grain elevators according to structural, technological, and insect control characteristics; ... -
Is the Direct Soil Application of Two-Phase Olive Mill Waste (Alperujo) Compatible with Soil Quality Protection?
(MDPI, 2023-10)In Spain and other Mediterranean countries, significant quantities of semi-solid olive mill waste are generated, which should be preferentially applied to agricultural soils to close nutrient cycles. However, two-phase ... -
Is the lack of response of maize to fertilization in soils with low Bray1-p related to labile organic phosphorus?
(Springer, 2021-01-07)The usual soil test phosphorus (P) neglects the P supply from labile organic P (Po) fractions, which could explain the nonresponse of maize (Zea mays L.) in sites with soil P testing below the critical level. We aim to ... -
Is the Nectar Sugar Content the Key to Improving Onion and Bunching Onion Seed Yield?
(MDPI, 2023-06)Bunching onion as well as onion show great variability in seed yield among cultivars. Understanding the role of floral rewards and attractants to pollinator species is crucial to improving crop seed yield. Nectar sugar ... -
