Sunspots are Correlated with Foliar pH in Grapevines

Dec 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2639-3166.jar-19-3116
Giorgio MasoeroCorresponding author

Foliar pH is a specific multifaceted parameter that is sensitive to a deficit in soil water and to temperature variations. It also represents a tool that can be used to rapidly phenotype the symbiosis induced in several crops by bio-fertilizers containing Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi. Yearly decreas…

Spectroscopic and Foliar pH Model for Yield Prediction in a Symbiotic Corn Production 

Nov 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2639-3166.jar-19-3089
Giorgio MasoeroCorresponding author

The agronomic management of symbiotic (S) inoculations, by means of bio-fertilizers (BF), is aimed at inducing modifications of the plant rhizosphere and thereafter of the phenotype and yield of the crop. It is here shown that the yield response of maize to a symbiotic treatment may be correlated to…

Rice Yield Advances Under Precision Agriculture: a Farm Lesson

Mar 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2639-3166.jar-19-2691
Giorgio MasoeroCorresponding author

In precision agriculture (PA) fertilizing, based on soil testing, production maps and crop nitrogen (N) demand, is the key to maximizing yields and tempering fertilizer costs. A trend study has considered the output / input relationships performed on a farm that has progressively adapted to PA proce…

Does Soil Testing for Fertiliser Recommendation Fall Short of a Soil Health Card?

Jan 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2639-3166.jar-18-2496
Raj GuptaCorresponding author

Nutrient depletion and imbalanced use of fertiliser nutrients, inappropriate tillage and rain- water management practices often result in land degradation. Declining soil health contributes to climate change through loss in soil productivity, biodiversity, soil carbon, and moisture and ecosystem ser…

The Raw pH in Plants: A Multifaceted Parameter

Oct 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2639-3166.jar-18-2397
Giorgio MasoeroCorresponding author

The measurement of the in vivo raw pH of vegetative organs is a unusual way obtaining plant knowledge. The authenticity of the pH parameter of the leaf and its independence from soil pH has already been highlighted. In the present work we observe how and to what extent water-temperature mechanisms a…

Using Different Types of Fertilization for Increasing Sugar Beet Growth under Sandy Soil Conditions.

Aug 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2641-9467.jgrc-18-1936
M. H. MubarakCorresponding author

Four nitrogen forms and four biofertilizer were application as well as their interactions on growth analysis of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L). The important results could be summarized as follow. Urea treatment achieved maximum increase in Leaf Area Index were 69.71, 81.32 and 166.54 at 120, 140 and…
