Photosynthesis and growth of young grapevines intercropped with native grasses in soils contaminated with copper
(2018)High copper (Cu) contents in vineyard soils due to long-term foliage-defense program based on Cu-containing fungicides may cause physiological and nutritional disorders in young grapevines, limiting plant growth and in ... -
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 ... -
A comparison between on-line and off-line tar analysis methods applied to common reed pyrolysis
(2013)An innovative on-line tar measuring system has been tested using the reference standard for tar sampling (UNI CEN/TS 15439) and off-line analysis approach. Samples of common reed have been characterized by means of ... -
Using stable isotopes in tracing contaminant sources in an industrial area: A case study on the hydrological basin of the Olt River, Romania
(2015)Tracing pollution sources and transformation of nitrogen compounds in surface- and groundwater is an issue of great significance worldwide due to the increased human activity, translated in high demand of water resources ... -
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 ... -
Synergism and antagonisms between nutrients induced by copper toxicity in grapevine rootstocks: Monocropping vs. intercropping
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019)The long-term use of Cu-containing fungicides contaminates vineyards soils, which can induce Cu toxicity and nutrient imbalances in several plant species. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of Cu toxicity on ... -
Azospirillum brasilense inoculation counteracts the induction of nitrate uptake in maize plants
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019)Nitrogen (N) represents one of the limiting factors for crop growth and productivity and to date has been widely supplied via external application of fertilizers. However, the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria ... -
The potential of two different Avena sativa L. cultivars to alleviate Cu toxicity
(Academic Press, 2019)Agronomic strategies as intercropping might be applied to reduce plant-available copper (Cu) in Cu-contaminated soils. Thus, our aim was to characterize two different oat cultivars, Avena sativa L. cv. Fronteira and cv. ... -
Phytotoxicity alleviation by bacterial species isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated sites
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019)The increasing industrialization has led to a high accumulation of xenobiotic contaminants in the natural environments. Most frequently, such pollutants include petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
Enhancement of the bioactive compound content in strawberry fruits grown under iron and phosphorus deficiency
(2015)BACKGROUND: Among berries, strawberry fruits are one of the richest natural sources of health-beneficial components such as micronutrients, antioxidants and phytochemicals. Strawberry quality depends greatly upon genotype, ...
