Effects of zinc addition to a copper-contaminated vineyard soil on sorption of Zn by soil and plant physiological responses
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2016)The occurrence of high levels of Cu in vineyard soils is often the result of intensive use of fungicides for the preventive control of foliar diseases and can cause toxicity to plants. Nowadays many grape growers in Southern ... -
The potential of Zea mays L. in remediating copper and zinc contaminated soils for grapevine production
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)The application of fungicides containing Cu and Zn in vineyards can lead to accumulation of these metals at toxic levels. The successive cultivation of maize in these areas can be an interesting alternative to alleviate ... -
Copper accumulation in vineyard soils: Rhizosphere processes and agronomic practices to limit its toxicity
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016)Viticulture represents an important agricultural practice in many countries worldwide. Yet, the continuous use of fungicides has caused copper (Cu) accumulation in soils, which represent a major environmental and toxicological ... -
Physiological Changes in Maize Grown in Soil with Copper and Zinc Accumulation Resulting from the Addition of Pig Slurry and Deep Litter over 10 Years
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)The aim of the present study was to evaluate if increased Cu and Zn concentrations in soils, as a consequence of distribution at the field level for 10 consecutive years of pig slurry (PS) and pig deep litter (DL), would ... -
Growth and chemical changes in the rhizosphere of black oat (Avena strigosa) grown in soils contaminated with copper
(2018)Copper based pesticides are used to protect vineyards from fungal infections. Plants like black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb) can promote chemical changes in the rhizosphere, reducing copper (Cu) bioavailability in contaminated ... -
Soil amendment as a strategy for the growth of young vines when replanting vineyards in soils with high copper content
(ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 2018)Soil contamination with copper (Cu)-based agrochemicals used in vineyards for pest control is a growing problem. In this context, the application of soil amendment to limit Cu toxicity, especially for young plants after ... -
Nutrient availability in the rhizosphere: A review
(2018)The rhizosphere is the volume of soil where the chemical (pH, redox potential, nutrient concentration and root exudates), physical (temperature, water availability and soil structure) and biological characteristics (microbial ... -
Peach rootstock tolerance to excess zinc in sandy acidic soil
(2018)In some areas dedicated to the cultivation of peach plants, soils are characterized by high levels of zinc (Zn) as a consequence of successive applications of Zn-containing fungicides and/or use of animal manure as fertilizer. ...
