Intelligent management of water distribution systems
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)
The United Nations predicts that the world's population in 2050 will reach 9.7 billion people. This exponential growth will mean an increase in the global demand for water available for human consumption. In addition, the ...
Persistence of Metarhizium brunneum (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) in the Soil Is Affected by Formulation Type as Shown by Strain-Specific DNA Markers
(MDPI, 2023)
The genus Metarhizium has an increasingly important role in the development of Integrated Pest Control against Tephritid fruit flies in aerial sprays targeting adults and soil treatments targeting preimaginals. Indeed, the ...
Entomopathogenic Fungi-Mediated Solubilization and Induction of Fe Related Genes in Melon and Cucumber Plants
(MDPI, 2023)
Endophytic insect pathogenic fungi have a multifunctional lifestyle; in addition to its well-known function as biocontrol agents, it may also help plants respond to other biotic and abiotic stresses, such as iron (Fe) ...
The olive microbiome and its role in modulating host response to Verticillium dahliae: unraveling the determining and modifying factors
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)
Olive tree (Olea europaea subsp. europaea) is one of the oldest cultivated trees in the world and plays a critical role in the sustainability of Mediterranean ecosystems. As an agricultural system with important economic, ...
Enzymatic and Molecular Identification of Meloidogyne Species in Tomato Orchards in Paraguay
(MDPI, 2023)
Tomato is a major crop in Paraguay, where it provides a source of employment and income for households. Tomato production can be affected by root-knot nematodes, especially Meloidogyne spp. The unequivocal identification ...

Reticulitermes grassei is a subterranean termite species that forages on woody structures of the Iberian Peninsula, and is often a building and crops pest. A total of 23 microorganisms associated with the activity of R. ...
LANZA® Tedera Is Strongly Suppressed by Competition from Lolium multiflorum and Is Best Adapted to Light-Textured Soils
(MDPI, 2023)
Bituminaria bituminosa var. albomarginata, known as Tedera, is a promising forage for Mediterranean climates. An improved variety named LANZA® has been developed. Previous research suggests that soil water saturation in ...
Decision Support Tool for the Optimal Sizing of Solar Irrigation Systems
(MDPI, 2023)
Solar photovoltaic (PV) irrigation is increasingly used in agriculture, driven by its low operation cost and virtually zero emissions, providing electricity access in rural areas. However, the high investment cost requires ...
Analytical determination of irrotational flow profiles in open-channel transitions
(MDPI, 2023)
Transitional free surface flow profiles with a critical point occur with weak vorticity and viscosity effects and thus can be modeled with an irrotational flow approach. Important examples in hydraulic engineering include ...
Bases de la respuesta a estrés salino en la levadura Debaryomyces hansenii
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2023)
Debaryomyces hansenii es una levadura osmo-, xero- y generalmente considerada halotolerante que, gracias a las múltiples adaptaciones que posee puede hacer frente a altas concentraciones de sal en el medio. Esta levadura ...
