Influence of Cultivar and Biocontrol Treatments on the Effect of Olive Stem Extracts on the Viability of Verticillium dahliae Conidia
(MDPI, 2022)
The effect of olive (Olea europaea) stem extract (OSE) on the viability of conidia of Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO), is not yet well understood. Thus, the aim of this study was ...
Assessment of Maternal Effects and Genetic Variability in Resistance to Verticillium dahliae in Olive Progenies
(MDPI, 2021)
The use of genetic resistance is likely the most efficient, economically convenient and environmentally friendly control method for plant diseases, as well as a fundamental piece in an integrated management strategy. This ...
Evaluation of Drought Stress in Cereal through Probabilistic Modelling of Soil Moisture Dynamics
(MDPI, 2020)
The early and accurate detection of drought episodes is crucial for managing agricultural yield losses and planning adequate policy responses. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of two novel indices, static and ...
Delving into the Causes and Effects of Entomopathogenic Endophytic Metarhizium brunneum Foliar Application-Related Mortality in Spodoptera littoralis Larvae
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of the current study was to delve into the causes of mortality of Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Metarhizium-colonized plants in the absence of fungal outgrowth on the cadavers as previous studies reported ...
Distribution Uniformity in Intensive Horticultural Systems of Almería and Influence of the Production System and Water Quality
(MDPI, 2021)
The high productivity and efficiency of the use of irrigation water that characterizes greenhouse horticultural crops can be affected by poor irrigation distribution uniformity. The objective of this work was to estimate ...
Microsatellite Markers in Olives (Olea europaea L.): Utility in the Cataloging of Germplasm, Food Authenticity and Traceability Studies
(MDPI, 2021)
The olive fruit, a symbol of Mediterranean diets, is a rich source of antioxidants and oleic acid (55–83%). Olive genetic resources, including cultivated olives (cultivars), wild olives as well as related subspecies, are ...
Soil Nutrients Effects on the Performance of Durum Wheat Inoculated with Entomopathogenic Fungi
(MDPI, 2020)
Entomopathogenic fungi (EFs) are widely used as biological control agents. However, some strains of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum can also promote plant growth and increase nutrient uptake. We examined the ...
Almond Anthracnose: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives
(MDPI, 2020)
Almond anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. has been described as one of the most important diseases of this nut crop in the main almond-growing regions worldwide, including California, Australia and Spain. Currently, ...
Modeling Sugar Beet Responses to Irrigation with AquaCrop for Optimizing Water Allocation
(MDPI, 2019)
Process-based crop models such as AquaCrop are useful for a variety of applications but must be accurately calibrated and validated. Sugar beet is an important crop that is grown in regions under water scarcity. The ...
Open-Source Application for Water Supply System Management: Implementation in a Water Transmission System in Southern Spain
(MDPI, 2021)
Sustainable water use has become a critical issue for the future of the planet in face of highly probable climate change. The drinking water supply sector has made significant progress over the last 20 years, although ...
