Reproductive performance is crucial for profitability of dual-purpose cow-calf production in the Ecuadorian Amazon. To evaluate three different fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) protocols in suckled, dual-purpose...

Livestock production in semi-arid areas is possible due to the presence of permanent water sources, which create a radial pattern of grazing intensity known as the piosphere. For this reason, we predicted that permanent ...

Ca2+ and Si2+ treatments confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in many fruits. In sweet cherries, Ca2+ improves shelf life extension during storage, but only CaCl2 is used. On the other hand, there is scarce i...

Crown gall is one widespread grapevine disease worldwide, caused by Allorhizobium vitis (syn. Agrobacterium vitis) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (syn. Rhizobium radiobacter). All. Vitis, is the predominant species and pr...
