Changes in microbial and physicochemical properties under cover crop inclusion in a degraded common bean monoculture system
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The expansion of the common bean monoculture system along with intensive agricultural practices focused on productivity has generated a misuse of natural resources, accompanied by a significant decline of the soil ecosystem ... -
Influence of a tropical grass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Mulato) as cover crop on soil biochemical properties in a degraded agricultural soil
(Elsevier, 2017-11)The inclusion of tropical grass forage as a cover crop (CC) could be a useful tool to improve microbiological activity and, consequently, soil quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Brachiaria brizantha ... -

Participatory, multi-criteria evaluation methods as a means to increase the legitimacy and sustainability of land use planning processes. The case of the Chaco Region in Salta, Argentina
(2017-02)Conflicts over land use and ownership are common in South America and generate frequent confrontations among indigenous peoples, small-scale farmers, and large-scale agricultural producers. We argue in this paper that an ... -
Soil Properties and Bacterial Communities Associated with the Rhizosphere of the Common Bean after Using Brachiaria brizantha as a Service Crop: A 10-Year Field Experiment
(MDPI, 2023-01)Intensive agricultural farming practices, such as monoculture, require long bare fallow periods and the overuse of agrochemicals, which compromise soil health over time. Increasing plant diversity in agroecosystems with ...
