Abstract. Soil and water-efficient management are key factors in ensuring the olive sector's sustainable production practices. The use of compost based on waste (alperujo) as fertilizer could enhance ecosystem services while need to transition a zero-waste approach circular economy is achieved. present work includes comparative study effect alperujo (AC) vs. inorganic fertilization under differ...

The data on the fauna and biotopic distribution of ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in yew-boxwood grove Caucasian State Natural Biosphere Reserve are presented. A total 27 ant species were identified, belonging to 17 genera 4 subfamilies ( Dolichoderinae , Ponerinae Formicinae Myrmicinae ). – Lasius F. Temnothorax Mayr richest include 5 each. For grove, all presented for first time.

The experiment was done in a lemon grove on the high school farm in Fillmore, Ventura County, California. The grove is managed using IPM methods and is under successful biological control for California red scale. Lorzban is sprayed annually on the ground for ant control but the area we sampled was not sprayed during our experiment. No other pesticides or oil treatments are used. Aphytis melinu...

We present a new regression algorithm called Additive Groves and show empirically that it is superior in performance to a number of other established regression methods. A single Grove is an additive model containing a small number of large trees. Trees added to a Grove are trained on the residual error of other trees already in the model. We begin the training process with a single small tree ...

Several perspectives on the groves are briefly treated. Broader appreciation is needed of the giant sequoia groves which are not famous and easily accessible. The USDA Forest Service administers the largest single ownership of natural giant sequoia grove acreage. The giant sequoia groves have major resource values in addition to old-growth giant sequoias. Certain giant sequoias should be consid...

The SIMDualKc model was applied to evaluate the crop water use and coefficient (Kc) of an irrigated olive grove (Olea europaea L.) located in Sicily, Italy, using experimental data collected from two seasons. applies FAO56 dual Kc approach compute actual evapotranspiration (ETc act) its components, i.e., tree transpiration (Tc act), obtained through basal (Kcb), soil evaporation according (Ke)....
