host plant's quality in the food chain of a herbivorous insect influences the insect's life performance, and thus abundance in its population. the effect of different ratios of n: k fertilization (40:60), (40:40), (40:0) kg/ha vs. control (0:0) were determined on chemical content parameters (n, k and c %) of the bean plant and as well on the performance of aphis fabae scop. experiment...

Fire regimes are influenced by both exogenous drivers (e.g., increases in atmospheric CO2 and climate change) endogenous vegetation soil/litter moisture), which constrain fuel loads aridity. Herein, we identified how can interact to affect fuels fire a semiarid watershed the inland northwestern United States throughout 21st century. We used coupled ecohydrologic regime model examine change scen...

The breadth and focus of the methyl bromide alternatives research program in Florida is not limited exclusively to evaluation of chemical combination treatment regimes. The Florida program also encompasses an evaluation of a diversity of nonchemical tactics. Some of the nonchemical alternatives evaluated include: 1) Cover crops 7) Pest Resistant Crop Varieties 2) Organic Amendments 8) Solarizat...

Sage (Salvia officinalis L) is a widespread aromatic and medicinal plant with various positive affects in human diet health. In order to investigate the interaction among bio-fertilization, density irrigation regimes, Salvia cultivation, an experimental field was established at University Farm of Thessaly, Velestino (Greece). The transplant carried out October 2016 experiment data concern heigh...

The supposition that cropping system might affect fertilization-induced changes in chemical composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) and microbial community has mostly derived from field experiments different sites, which may have been disturbed by climate conditions parent materials. Here, two adjacent long-term were used, contained similar four fertilization regimes NPK, 2NPK, NPKOM, an uname...

Understanding the effect of different agricultural practices on soil microbiome is very important since it has a decisive role in multifunctionality soils. Our research aimed to reveal and compare changes composition bacterial archaeal communities response cultivation fertilization regimes. Soil samples were collected from long-term (60-year-old) field experiment with maize (Zea mays L.) monocu...

Drip irrigation is broadly extended in order to save water in the arid cotton production region of China. Biochar is thought to be a useful soil amendment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Here, a field study was conducted to compare the emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) under different irrigation methods (drip irrigation (D) and furrow irrigation (F)) and fertilization...

Establishment and growth of three perennial herbs and a small tussock grass were studied in an experiment that provided simulated rainfall of 6 mm week 1 or 25 mm once per month and nitrogen fertilization in combination with the different simulated rainfall regimes. Wild onion, Allium macropetalum, failed to establish in plots receiving 25 mm month 1 simulated rainfall. The perennial composite,...

Highlight  Modifications in glutamine synthetase OsGS1-2 expression and fungal pathogenicity underlie nitrogen-induced susceptibility to rice blast. Understanding why nitrogen fertilization increase the impact of many plant diseases is of major importance. The interaction between Magnaporthe oryzae and rice was used as a model for analyzing the molecular mechanisms underlying Nitrogen-Induced S...
