Winter pruning has been a common practice in peach. Twig topping associated with it, but this used at the same intensity, regardless of cultivar. Therefore, study aimed evaluating productive behavior and quality ‘Maciel’ peach grafted on ‘Capdeboscq’ ‘Okinawa’ (P. persica) as rootstocks, when they were submitted to different twig intensities winter pruning. The following three evaluated: short ...

Abstract Pollination of deceptive orchids has enabled scientists to understand how these species avoid inbreeding depression by reducing the number pollinator visits per inflorescence. In rewarding species, which receive a higher rate plant, geitonogamy is usually and therefore risk increases. this study, we assess breeding system orchid A. coriophora, spatio-temporal changes in its fitness as ...

Although the burrower bug (Cyrtomenus mirabilis) is considered a vitalsoil pest in peanut crops, Arachis hypogaea L., South America, there little information on its occurrence and damage characterization. This study aimed to evaluate vertical distribution fluctuation of soil this species causes peanuts. Two cultivars (IAC OL3 IAC 503) were evaluated three locations state São Paulo: Pindorama, R...

Morels ( Morchella spp.) are highly prized and popular edible mushrooms. The outdoor cultivation of morels in China first developed at the beginning 21st century. Several species, such as sextelata , M. eximia importuna have been commercially cultivated greenhouses. However, detriments obstacles associated with continuous cropping become increasingly serious, reducing yields even leading to a c...

Demographic studies that monitor population dynamics are an essential component in establishing conservation strategies. The conventional view that human disturbance results in negative effects to species and habitats is countered by the fact that some anthropogenic activities result in the origin of new habitat opportunities for species. Faced with an increase in European restoration programs,...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of the general and specific combining abilities (GCA and SCA, respectively) of 15 characteristics and to evaluate the most promising crosses and the reciprocal effect between the hybrids of six parents of the Capsicum annuum species. Six parents, belonging to the Horticultural Germplasm Bank of Centro de Ciências Agrárias of Universidade ...
