Optimising Legume Integration, Nitrogen Fertilisation, and Irrigation in Semi-A...
Silva, L.; Barbosa, S.; Lidón, F. C.; Maçãs, B.; Faugno, S.; Sannino, M.; Serrano, J.; D'Antonio, P.; Fiorentino, C.; Cellini, F.; Ferreira, P.Monoculture systems depend on high nitrogen (N) fertilisation. Incorporating leg umes into forage crops offers a sustainable alternative with agronomic and economic benefits. This study assesses the impact of legumes in fodder systems, evaluating yield, N use efficiency (NUE), and profitability while identifying the best cropping strategy under semi-arid conditions. The experiment, conducted at Herdade da Comen...
Breeding in bread-making wheat varieties for Mediterranean climate: The need to...
Maçãs, B.; Costa, R.; Gomes, C.; Bagulho, A.; Pinheiro, N.; Moreira, J.; Costa, A.; Patanita, Manuel; Dores, José Manuel de JesusIntroduction: Being one of the “big three” most cultivated cereals in the world, wheat plays a crucial role in ensuring global food/nutrition security, supplying close to 20% of the global needs for calories and proteins. However, the increasingly large fluctuations between years in temperatures and precipitation due to climate change cause important variations in wheat production worldwide. This fact makes whe...
Neutron activation analysis of wheat samples
Galinha, C.; Anawar, H. M.; Freitas, Maria do Carmo; Pacheco, A. M.; Almeida-Silva, Marina; Coutinho, J.; Maçãs, B.; Almeida, A. S.The deficiency of essential micronutrients and excess of toxic metals in cereals, an important food items for human nutrition, can cause public health risk. Therefore, before their consumption and adoption of soil supplementation, concentrations of essential micronutrients and metals in cereals should be monitored. This study collected soil and two varieties of wheat samples–Triticum aestivum L. (Jordão/bread w...
