Organic Agriculture has developed sustainable technologies capable of significantly improving crop yield and quality. The use of algae has diversified in plant nutrition, since they are organisms with high content of macro and micronutrients, growth promoters, amino acids, as well as adjuvants that facilitate better absorption of nutrients. Both seaweed and "microalgae" have been used a replace chemical fertilizers that generate high residuality, pollution and excessive costs. In the present study, 3 types of organic biofertilizers were used: Biol (T0), seaweed extract (A. nodosum) Sumakcrop® (T1) and a Spirulina biofertilizer (T2) in the cultivation of (Lactuca sativa) in 12 properties of the Parish of Fajardo. The agronomic, morphological, physiological, and nutritional variables were analyzed weekly, as well as an economic analysis of partial budget and cost/benefit. The treatment with the best results in all variables was T2 obtaining a fresh weight in week 8 of 783.50 ± 12.27 gr (foliar), 24.06 ± 2.47 gr (root) and a dry weight of 137.64 ± 1.37 gr (foliar), 2.51 ± 0.01 gr (root). A root length of 21.30 ± 0.33 cm, a leaf area of 718.92 ± 7.01 cm 2, a head diameter of 32.32 ± 2.29 cm. Regarding physiological parameters, the levels of NO 3- were 375 ± 54.34 mg / L, chlorophyll 7.48 ± 0.04 mg * g-1 , 4.80 ± 0.14 brix, organic matter 8.39 ± 0.30 %, fiber 67.15 ± 0.83 %, protein 2.104 ± 0.06 %, fat 6.38 ± 0.48 % and ash 23.25 ± 0.22 %. The correlation analysis was strongly positive between the agronomic and morphological variables, agreeing with the nutritional and physiological values. Finally, a yield of 10.48 ± 0.08 kg* m 2 was reported and the partial budget analysis obtained a net benefit of 96.50 USD with a C/B of 3.10 being T2 the most profitable treatment based on T0 and T1.

This research evaluated the oxygen transfer efficiency in beds to be used as aerated con- structed wetlands. The research methods included oxygen transfer efficiency evaluations in several bed configurations using diffused aeration systems. Experiments were conducted at two locations with different environmental conditions: a) Talca (Chile), 120 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.), 0.99 Atm and b) Cajicá (Colombia), 2550 m.a.s.l., 0.76 Atm. A column with only clean water and three bed configurations representing aerated constructed wetlands were evaluated. These configurations included: (a) coarse gravel, (b) coarse gravel with an empty core in the middle (inner container), and (c) fine gravel. Three airflow rates were evaluated: (a) low, 0.7 L/min; (b) medium, 2.5 L/min; and (c) high, 3.6 L/min. The overall oxygen mass transfer coefficient, standard oxygen transfer rate, and standard oxygen transfer efficiency were the variables calculated from the oxygen transfer evaluation tests. The research results indicated that in diffused aeration systems, oxygen transfer efficiency was negatively influenced by environmental conditions, particularly altitude, which limits the driving force for oxygen transfer into water. Furthermore, the results showed that the size of the gravel used in the bed is related to the oxygen transfer efficiency: the larger the gravel size, the higher the oxygen transfer, regardless of the altitude. Finally, research regarding oxygen transfer in aerated constructed wetlands has signaled the need for a standard procedure for aeration testing, and this work suggests a new methodology.

Native grasslands are the main source of food for livestock in the Campos region of South America. These forage resources are heterogeneous in species composition, grazing management, and soil fertility within a context of variable climate, all of which are factors that affect forage crude protein content over time and space. Despite the importance of protein in livestock nutrition, there is a gap in the knowledge of how fertilisation, sward height, and soil water availability influence the crude protein content of these grasslands. We used data from a long-term fertilisation experiment to construct a structural model aiming to identify the main factors influencing forage crude protein content of a basaltic native grassland in northern Uruguay. The structural model revealed that both fertilisation and the increase in soil water availability (through the improvement of the nitrogen content of green leaves) are the main pathways by which forage crude protein content increases. This new approach (which identifies and quantifies the main factors that drive forage crude protein content of native grasslands) could be used to support prediction models for forage protein content in order to improve grazing livestock nutrition of Campos native grasslands.

Photo-selective colored nets have been used as a tool to reduce climatic stress and improve yields in horticultural crops, but there is no knowledge regarding responses of hazelnut crops under these nets. The objective of this research was to study the influence of photo-selective nets on the microclimate, physiological characteristics of leaves, and yield in hazelnut. During three consecutive seasons, a hazelnut orchard ´Tonda di Giffoni´ was covered with black, blue-gray, and pearl-gray colored nets with a standard density of 4 warp and weft threads cm−1. Uncovered trees were used as the control. Microclimatic conditions (solar radiation intensity and composition, air temperature, relative humidity, and vapor pressure deficit, VPD), yield components (accumulated yield; yield by harvest date; fruit weight, FW; and seed weight, SW), and leaf physiological characteristics (net photosynthesis rate, An; stomatal conductance, gs; specific leaf weight, SLW; and stomatal density, SD) were evaluated. Pearl-gray netting had the greatest increase in diffuse (47%) and global (5%) solar radiation compared to blue-gray and black nettings. VPD decreased by 12% under black netting, but only by 5% under pearl-gray and blue-gray netting. Pearl-gray nets significantly increased accumulated yield, FW, and SW by 12, 13, and 6% compared to the control, respectively. Black and blue-gray nets reduced SD by 8 and 30% and SLW by 15 and 20%, respectively. Pearl-gray netting did not alter either SD or SLW. A significant relationship between An and gs was found under all nets, but not for the control. The relationship between An and gs was significantly positive for pearl-gray netting and negative for blue-gray netting. Photo-selective netting is a physiology-based tool that improves yield in hazelnut orchards under extreme climate conditions. Pearl-gray netting is the most promising alternative for this fruit crop.

In soybeans, exposure to non-inductive photoperiods (i.e., long or extended days) after flowering triggers a number of responses, including slower development of reproductive structures, enhanced vegetative growth and increased production of flowers. The larger number of flowers under extended photoperiods results in an increase of the number of fruits, which eventually may translate into greater grain yield. The main goal of this work was to assess whether C and N assimilation rates increase in soybeans subjected to long days after flowering. Soybean cultivars NS4619 and NS5019 were planted in the field during the normal planting season in 2016−17 and 2018−19. At flowering, two treatments were imposed: natural (Nat) or extended photoperiods (Ext) in which daylength was prolonged by 4 h with low intensity illumination from light-emitting diode lamps delivering less than 10 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ of photosynthetically active radiation at the top of the canopy. Extended photoperiods prolonged reproductive growth, thereby delaying crop maturity. Growth of the main stem and branches was promoted by Ext, with plants showing greater number of nodes and main stem + branches dry weight at maturity. The number of pods and seeds increased by 69–87 % and 31–76 %, respectively, in Ext, and pod and seed dry weight increased significantly in 2016−17. Averaged over the whole reproductive period, crop growth rate increased under Ext in 2016−17 and 2018−2019. Ext promoted post-flowering vegetative growth more than growth of seeds, therefore harvest index was lower under Ext. The growth increase under Ext was larger if the biomass of abscised leaf blades and petioles was taken into account. Consistently with increased biomass under Ext, nitrogen accumulation by the crop was higher under extended photoperiods, with no dilution effect of N due to increased dry mass. About half of the N in plant tissues derived from biological nitrogen fixation, irrespective of photoperiodic condition, which implied that both, nitrogen fixation and uptake of soil nitrogen increased under long photoperiods. In brief, both the amounts of C and N assimilated by the crop were higher under Ext. Understanding the molecular, biochemical and physiological basis of post-flowering photoperiodic effects might offer clues to increase the yield potential of soybeans.

Introduction Concurrent natural evolution of glyphosate resistance single and double point EPSPS mutations in weed species provides an opportunity for the estimation of resistance fitness benefits and prediction of equilibrium resistance frequencies in environments under glyphosate selection. Methods and Results Assessment of glyphosate resistance benefit was conducted for the most commonly identified single Pro‐106‐Ser and less frequent double TIPS mutations in the EPSPS gene evolved in the global damaging weed Eleusine indica. Under glyphosate selection at the field dose, plants with the single Pro‐106‐Ser mutation at homozygous state (P106S‐rr) showed reduced survival and compromised vegetative growth and fecundity compared to TIPS plants. Whereas both homozygous (TIPS‐RR) and compound heterozygous (TIPS‐Rr) plants with the double TIPS resistance mutation displayed similar survival rates when exposed to glyphosate, a significantly higher fecundity in the currency of seed number was observed in TIPS‐Rr than TIPS‐RR plants. The highest plant fitness benefit was associated with the heterozygous TIPS‐Rr mutation, whereas plants with the homozygous Pro‐106‐Ser and TIPS mutations exhibited, respectively, 31% and 39% of the fitness benefit revealed by the TIPS‐Rr plants. Populations are predicted to reach stable allelic and genotypic frequencies after 20 years of glyphosate selection at which the WT allele is lost and the stable genotypic polymorphism is comprised by 2% of heterozygous TIPS‐Rr, 52% of homozygous TIPS‐RR and 46% of homozygous P106S‐rr. The high inbreeding nature of E. indica is responsible for the expected frequency decrease of the fittest TIPS‐Rr in favour of the homozygous TIPS‐RR and P106S‐rr. Discussion Mutated alleles associated with the glyphosate resistance EPSPS single EPSPS Pro‐106‐Ser and double TIPS mutations confer contrasting fitness benefits to E. indica under glyphosate treatment and therefore are expected to exhibit contrasting evolution rates in cropping systems under recurrent glyphosate selection.

Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium) is the first commercially developed perennial grain crop in North America, with multiple environmental and economic benefits. One of the major challenges for adoption of this dual-use forage and grain crop is the decline in grain yield in subsequent harvest years. Post-harvest management practices (e.g., chopping, burning , chemical, and mechanical thinning) could reduce the intraspecific competition for light and maintain Kernza grain yields over time. We aimed to identify management practices that improve light penetration and propose a conceptual model to explain the mechanisms contributing to Kernza grain yield. We applied 10 management practices after the first Kernza grain harvest in a randomized complete block design experiment with three replications, at two different locations in Wiscon-sin, USA. Light penetration increased when post-harvest management practices were applied. Mechanical or chemical thinning had relatively lower lodging and increased yield components per row, but not per area due to a reduction in the number of productive rows. Threshed grain yield per area in the second year of Kernza was similar among the treatments despite the differences in vegetative biomass generated. Further research is needed to optimize management practices to maintain Kernza grain yield over time.

Objective: Impulsivity is a multifaceted construct known to play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of a wide range of problematic behaviors and psychological disorders in children. Method: In this study, we adapted the short French adult version of the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale for use with children (short UPPS-P-C) and tested its psychometric properties. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses conducted on a sample of 425 children (aged from 8 to 14 years) supported the five-factor structure of the scale. Additional analyses emphasized the good internal and test-retest reliability of the short UPPS-P-C. Furthermore, our results also revealed that lack of premeditation and urgency subscales were able to discriminate between children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their matched controls. Conclusion: These results suggest that the short UPPS-P-C may be considered as a promising time-saving tool to assess impulsivity traits in healthy children and in children with psychiatric disorders.

A total of 480 milk samples were analyzed in four repetitions with four preservative treatments (no preservative, Bronopol, Bronolat and Brononata), three storage times at temperatures up to 4 °C (24, 48 and 72hours after reception), five different water additions (0.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0%) and two analytical instruments (electronic cryoscope and FTIR). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of these parameters in the determination of the freezing point by the reference method and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thus determining the best analytical conditions and establishing a mathematical equation for electronic determination by FTIR spectroscopy. Bronolat was the best preservative and Brononata was the worst and is not recommended to analyze freezing point by FTIR. The storage time of the samples did not interfere in the analytical determinations by the precision method and by FTIR.
