Dead or Alive: Drivers of Wind Mortality Initiate Multiple Disturbance Regime in a Temperate Primeval Mountain Forest
(MDPI, 2021)
The driving forces of tree mortality following wind disturbances of mountain mixed European temperate forests belongs among issues not comprehensively resolved. Hence, we aimed to elucidate the key factors of tree resistance ...
Water Stress Enhances the Progression of Branch Dieback and Almond Decline under Field Conditions
(MDPI, 2020)
Branch dieback and tree decline have been described as a common complex disease worldwide in woody crops, with Botryosphaeriaceae and Diaporthaceae being considered the most frequent fungi associated with the disease ...
Generating Hydrants’ Configurations for Efficient Analysis and Management of Pressurized Irrigation Distribution Systems
(MDPI, 2020)
Water scarcity is a mounting problem in arid and semi-arid regions such as the Mediterranean. Therefore, smarter and more effective water management is required, especially in irrigated agriculture. One of the most challenging ...
Diversity of Colletotrichum Species Associated with Olive Anthracnose Worldwide
(MDPI, 2021)
Olive anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum species causes dramatic losses of fruit yield and oil quality worldwide. A total of 185 Colletotrichum isolates obtained from olives and other hosts showing anthracnose symptoms ...
Vertically Averaged and Moment Equations for Dam- Break Wave Modeling: Shallow Water Hypotheses
(MDPI, 2020)
The dam-break wave modeling technology relies upon the so-called shallow water equations (SWE), i.e., mass and momentum vertically averaged equations by implementing the shallow water hypotheses, namely (i) horizontal ...
Climate and Land Use Change Effects on Sediment Production in a Dry Tropical Forest Catchment
(MDPI, 2021)
Understanding the natural and anthropogenic drivers that influence erosion and sediment transport is a key prerequisite for adequate management of river basins, where, especially in tropical catchments, there are few direct ...
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 ...
