(MDPI, 2020)The aim of this study was to determine the volatile profiles of new seedless table grape cultivars Timco , Magenta , Krissy and Arra15 and compare them with the traditional table grape variety Crimson seedless. The ...
-
(Pontificia Univ. Católica Chile, Fac. Agronomía Ingeniería Forestal, 2020)A number of agroecological practices have been proposed for assessing soil quality. Several physical soil properties have been shown to be important for determining soil quality by using the sustainability index (SI) and ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)Farmers in the temperate zone of southern Chile have started to irrigate historically rainfed pastures during recent years to reduce dairy productivity losses against increasingly severe summer droughts. The lack of ...
-
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2020)Environmental and social crises in agriculture have led to growing recognition that more ecologically sustainable and socially just food and agricultural systems are needed. This thematic number of the International ...
-
(Univ. Nacional Cuyo, Argentina, 2020)Table grapes are the most widespread fruit species in Chile, requiring a large amount of agrochemical products. Due to this large requirement, agrochemicals such as herbicides need to be applied precisely and in an ...

(MDPI, 2020)To date, phytoplasmas belonging to six ribosomal subgroups have been detected to infect grapevines in Chile in 36 percent of the sampled plants. A new survey on the presence of grapevine yellows was carried out from 2016 ...
-
(Amer Phytopathological Soc, 2020)Table grapes are highly susceptible to Botrytis cinerea infections during the bloom period. After reaching the flower development stage, B. cinerea remains quiescent until berry ripening or gives rise to blossom blight ...
-
(Springer, 2020)This study compares the goodness of fit of 10 empirical models used to predict gas diffusivity (DpD0-1) with experimental data obtained from Chilean soil samples from different soil management practices. Nine sites under ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)An adequate daily intake of minerals is essential for the prevention of chronic nutrition-related and degenerative diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Seaweeds are marine aquatic vegetable that ...
