Hirschfeldia incana (L.) Lagr.-Foss, an exotic weed in Argentina, is well adapted to different climate, soil, and crop conditions, and is particularly abundant in the southern region of Santa Fe province. The design of rational weed management strategies requires detailed information on biotypes behavior and growth characteristics. The objectives of this work were to study: […]

Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum (Lam) Husnot, commonly known as ryegrass, is a globally important weed with documented resistance to multiple herbicide modes of action. The germination and emergence responses of both susceptible and herbicide-resistant ryegrass phenotypes to environmental conditions may differ between them. To develop sustainable management strategies that reduce herbicide use, the inclusion of […]

Dehairing is the mechanical separation of coarse fibers, considered contaminants, from fine fibers of high textile value. This process is crucial in the transformation of double-coated animal fibers such as cashmere. This study evaluated the performance of different fleece types (cashmere and cashgora) from Creole Neuquina goats during the dehairing stage. Yields, diameters, and the […]

The introduction of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) in silvopastoral systems increases animal production and improves soil fertility. However, there is limited information on the dynamics of carbon and nitrogen in these systems over the long-term periods and soil profile. This study compared the concentrations and vertical distribution of organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN), and […]

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) has emerged as a key bioactive molecule in plants, extending far beyond its well-known role in animals. In horticultural crops, melatonin contributes to physiological regulation, stress mitigation, and improved agronomic performance. This review synthesizes current evidence on melatonin’s biosynthesis, physiological roles, and its effects on tolerance to abiotic stressors such as drought, salinity, […]

This study evaluates the effects of exposure to neonicotinoid-treated soybean cotyledons on oxidative stress markers and hematocrit in eared doves (Zenaida auriculata). Thirty-two doves (eight by treatment) were exposed to cotyledons from soybean treated with imidacloprid (IMI1: 0.4 mg a.i./g seed and IMI2: 1.2 mg a.i./g seed) and thiamethoxam (TMX: 0.7 mg a.i./g seed), and […]
