The objective of this research was to define which irrigation regime, whether or not combined with water retaining polymer doses added to the substrate, is recommended in the production of Cordia trichotoma seedlings. The substrate was used with different dosages of water retaining polymers (0,...

Water stress is a physiological reaction of plants to the limited availability of water. The study assessed the effect of stress on seedlings of Gliricidia sepium grown in greenhouse conditions, using control plants and two types of stress (linear and cyclic). Stress generated reductions in height...

Acacia mangium is a fast-growing legume species native to Australia and Central Asia, whose use has spread throughout the world because of its short rotation cycle, morphology, wood workability and high adaptability to different climatic and soil conditions. Additionally, it has a potential for use ...

Eleocharis acutangula (Roxb.) Schult., subsp. breviseta J. D. Rosen is cited for the first time for the flora of Argentina. This study provides a brief morphological description and identification key with E. acutangula (Roxb.) Schult. subsp. acutangula, a figure of the general aspect and the...

A new variety of the genus Orphanodendron (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae): Orphanodendron grandiflorum var. digitata is described and illustrated. The new variety is recognized by the shape and type of its resting buds, and a larger number of stamens per flower. The new taxon proposed was collected...

Most willows plantations in Argentina are located in the Paraná River Delta area. Climate change will increase the frequency of flooding episodes in this region. In order to reduce the negative consequences of climate change on forestry, genotypes combining high productivity with increased...

The aim of this work was to assess the plant water status of adult sweet cherry trees subjected to two deficit irrigation strategies by comparing conventional, continuous and remote water stress indicators. The plant water status indicators studied were: Conventional such as stem water potential at ...

The quality of the forest plant Prosopis alba (algarrobo blanco) is an important factor in the management of the species, from the nursery phase to the successful plantation. This work aimed to determine the morphological-physiological attributes of nursery plants under different growth conditions...

In the life of plants, water deficit is frequent, because availability of water is the first limiting factor of plant growth and yield. The present study related soil water content and evaporative demand components (air temperature, relative humidity and vapor pressure deficit) and precipitation...

Plant species producing exudates of the University City "Antonio Borjas Romero", University of Zulia, Maracaibo, Venezuela, were inventoried. The research was conducted in secondary communities: relicts of xerophytic species, trees of Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.) Baker ex K. Heyne, savannas with...
