Amendments are frequently added to agricultural soils to increase organic matter content. In this study, we examined the influence of alperujo, an olive oil mill waste, on the availability of two triazine herbicides, terbuthylazine and atrazine, in two different sandy soils, one from Sevilla, Spain, and the other from Minnesota. The effect of aging on herbicide sorption and bioavailability was ...

Ecosystem properties of surficial (0–10 cm) soils in remnant herbaceous patches were compared to those of contrasting woody plant patch types (upland discrete cluster, upland grove, and lowland woodland) where shifting land cover is known to have occurred over the past 50–77 yr. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and quantify the biogeochemical consequences and subsequent developmental r...

The productivity of olive trees in arid and semi-arid environments is closely linked to irrigation. It is necessary to improve the efficiency of irrigation techniques to optimise the amount of olive fruit produced in relation to the volume of water used. Partial root-zone drying (PRD) is a water saving irrigation technique that theoretically allows the production of a root-to-shoot signal that ...

Abstract The current study aimed to screen glyphosate-alternative weed control methods in three perennial crops Greece. Field trials were conducted and repeated (2018 2019 2020) a citrus orchard ( Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan), an olive grove Olea europaea L.), vineyard Vitis vinifera L.) under the randomized complete block design (nine treatments, four blocks). Glyphosate was applied (720 g ...

background and objectives: oleaceae family contains approximately 20 species of small trees and ancient world of the mediterranean, north africa, southeast asia, north to southern china, scotland and east australia have a wide dispersion. they are evergreen and have small leaves that are integrated have been met and the fruit is drup. olive trees resistant to drought and adapt to poor soils and...

The influence of two organic amendments consisting of an urban waste compost (SUW) and a commercial amendment from olive mill wastes (OW) was assessed on the sorption properties and leaching of the ionizable herbicide imazaquin on four soils with different physicochemical characteristics. A loamy sand soil (CR), a loam soil (P44), a silt loam soil (AL), and a clay soil (TM), with low-medium org...

One of the main strengths of active microwave remote sensing, in relation to frequency, is its capacity to penetrate vegetation canopies and reach the ground surface, so that information can be drawn about the vegetation and hydrological properties of the soil surface. All this information is gathered in the so called backscattering coefficient (σ(0)). The subject of this research have been oli...
