Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems – Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)
Nitrogen (N), the most critical and essential nutrient for plant growth, largely determines the productivity in both extensive
and
intensive grassland systems. Nitrification and denitrification processes in the soil are ...
Bolivia–European Union Trade Agreement: Is It an Option for the Morales Administration?
In 2008 Bolivia ceased to benefit from US trade preferences, which resulted in thousands of jobs lost thoroughout the country. Without the political will to initiate a trade agreement with the United States, the Morales ...
Urediospores of rust fungi are ice nucleation active at >−10 C and harbor ice nucleation active bacteria
Various features of the biology of the rust fungi and of the epidemiology of the plant diseases they cause illustrate the important role of rainfall in their life history. Based on this insight we have characterized the ...
BRS Savanna: new six-rowed malting barley cultivar for irrigated crops in the Brazilian savanna
BRS Savanna, a cross between V. Morales x IF200113, is a spring andan early-maturing six-rowed barley, widely adapted to irrigated areas of the savanna, in Central Brazil. It presents production stability and the industrial ...
A paradigm shift towards low-nitrifying production systems: the role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)
BACKGROUND:
Agriculture is the single largest geo-engineering initiative that humans have initiated on planet Earth, largely through the introduction of unprecedented amounts of reactive nitrogen (N) into ecosystems. A ...
