Suitability of non-destructive sensors for monitoring physiological and biochemical responses of tomato leaves and fruits to abiotic stresses
(2019-05-02)
The major aim of the present work was to proof the suitability of chlorophyll fluorescence-based indices to non-destructively monitor and predict changes in the content of plant compounds in response to abiotic stresses. ...
Importance of supplying dairy cows with essential fatty acids (EFA) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) during the transition period on metabolism and health
(2022-08-04)
Ketogenesis and steatosis are common sequelae of the severe mobilization of fat reserves necessary at the onset of lactation when the energy expenditures for milk and maintenance exceed the energy provided by voluntary ...
Agri-food policies and Sustainable Development Goals: Quantitative food system analyses
(2022-08-23)
The agricultural and food system is key to reaching several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), foremost those on food security (SDG2), reducing waste (SDG12), combatting climate change (SDG13), and reducing ...
Effect of blossom thinning on apple quality with conventional methods and study on laser application for selective thinning
(2022-09-27)
Crop-load regulation by blossom thinning has an important role to improve the fruit quality and mitigate an alternate bearing on apple fruit production. This method aims to reduce excessive flowers to regulate the final ...
A water storage reanalysis over the European continent: assimilation of GRACE data into a high-resolution hydrological model and validation
(2019-04-18)
Continental water storage and redistribution within the Earth’s system are key variables of the terrestrial water cycle. Changes in water storage and fluxes may affect resources for drinking water and irrigation, lead to ...
Characterisation of the effect of redox potential on the emission of greenhouse gases using wireless sensing techniques
(2021-11-18)
Soils act as both a source and sink of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and are widely considered to contribute to global warming. Soil N2O emissions originate from microbial nitrification and denitrification processes. ...
Potential and limitations for the practical use of fluorescence sensors to detect physiological adaptations of crops
(2021-06-14)
The key objective of the present work was to evaluate the potential and limitations for the practical use of fluorescence sensors to detect physiological responses of crops to abiotic stresses, and the crop adaptations to ...
Automatic optimization of height network configurations for detection of surface deformations
(2013-05-18)
Levellings are performed to observe height changes of different epochs at discrete surveying points. A
reliable estimation of surface deformations by a bivariate polynomial needs a sufficient configuration of the underlying ...
Armed Conflicts and Forced Displacements: Incentives and Consequences on Consumption and Social Preferences
(2021-04-06)
Several countries currently have ongoing armed conflicts or are in post-conflict. Relatedly, the number of refugees has almost doubled in the last decade from continued armed conflicts with an increasing influx to countries ...
Breeding progress for drought tolerance and nitrogen use efficiency in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(2022-03-28)
Drought is the major abiotic stress factor limiting agricultural production in arid, semi-arid as well as in temperate regions around the world, whereas nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients for crop production. ...
