One of the main limitations in intensive crop production in Northwestern Mexico is the dependence on the use of phosphate fertilizer. In this study, we isolated indigenous microorganisms with phosphate solubilization capacities from mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) present in the Mexicali valley. In total, 4 bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of mesquite, including ICA01, ICA02Ba, ICA03B...

The Plain Chachalaca (Ortalis vetula mccalli) is the only member of the family Cracidae in the United States, where it is native to four counties in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The species’ habitat of dense brushland and its shy, elusive nature make it difficult to observe in the wild. As a result, published information on the status of Texas chachalacas is meager. One report indicate...

This study quantified honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) root growth and water use efficiency following chronic soil drought or wetness on a clay loam site in north Texas. Root systems of mature trees were containerized with barriers inserted into the soil. Soil moisture within containers was manipulated with irrigation (Irrigated) or rain sheltering (Rainout). Other treatments included conta...

In the mixed C3/C4 grassland of southern Great Plains, United States, invasive woody legume, honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), affects grass production and composition differently beneath canopy (subcanopy) than in spaces between trees (intercanopy) due part to dominant presence C3 Texas wintergrass (Nassella leucotricha) soil enrichment from N-fixation by mesquite. This arrangement, unlike...
