Breeding in bread-making wheat varieties for Mediterranean climate
Maçãs, Benvindo; Costa, Rita; Gomes, Conceição; Bagulho, Ana Sofia; Pinheiro, Nuno; Moreira, José; Costa, Armindo; Patanita, Manuel; Dores, JoséPublisher Copyright: Copyright © 2024 Maçãs, Costa, Gomes, Bagulho, Pinheiro, Moreira, Costa, Patanita, Dores and Rodrigo.; Introduction: 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 temper...
Water and carbon footprints in irrigated vineyards
Tomaz, Alexandra; Dôres, José; Martins, Inês; Catarino, Adriana; Boteta, Luís; Santos, Marta; Patanita, Manuel; Palma, PatríciaFunding Information: Open access funding provided by FCT|FCCN (b-on). This research is co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, included in the COMPETE 2020 (Operational Program Competitiveness and Internationalization) through the ICT project [POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007690], funded by FCT—Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Portugal, and through the FitoFarmGest Operation...
Effect of Different Irrigated Crop Successions on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen–Phos...
Neto, Cláudia; Catarino, Adriana; Sobreiro, Justino; das Dores, José; Patanita, Manuel; Tomaz, Alexandra; Palma, PatríciaEuropean Agricultural Fund for Rural Development through the FitoFarmGest Operational Group (PDR2020-101-030926). Copyright: © 2024 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; Sustainability in agroecosystems relies on the optimized use of resources to achieve consistent yields while maintaining or improving soil health. The monitoring of soil quality is crucial when changes from rainfall-fed to irrigat...
Sustainability of High-Density Olive Orchards
Sobreiro, Justino; Patanita, Maria Isabel; Patanita, Manuel; Tomaz, AlexandraPublisher Copyright: © 2023 by the authors.; The production of olive oil in Portugal and other countries of the Mediterranean region has greatly increased in recent years. Intensification efforts have focused on the growth of the planted area, but also on the increase of the orchards density and the implementation of irrigation systems. Concerns about possible negative impacts of modern olive orchard production...
Digitization of Crop Nitrogen Modelling
Silva, Luís; Conceição, Luís Alcino; Lidon, Fernando Cebola; Patanita, Manuel; D’Antonio, Paola; Fiorentino, CostanzaPublisher Copyright: © 2023 by the authors.; Applying the correct dose of nitrogen (N) fertilizer to crops is extremely important. The current predictive models of yield and soil–crop dynamics during the crop growing season currently combine information about soil, climate, crops, and agricultural practices to predict the N needs of plants and optimize its application. Recent advances in remote sensing technolo...

Applying risk indices to assess and manage soil salinization and sodification i...
Tomaz, Alexandra; Costa, Maria João; Coutinho, João; Dôres, José; Catarino, Adriana; Martins, Inês; Mourinha, Clarisse; Guerreiro, IsabelSAICT-45-2017-02 POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007690 UIBD/00616/2020 PDR2020-101-030926; Irrigation-induced or secondary salinization can occur when salts are introduced by irrigation water and accumulate within the root zone due to insufficient leaching. Mediterranean regions are especially susceptible, given the predominant climate and the expanding of irrigation areas. In this study, two indices to assess the risk of ...
Zinc enrichment in two contrasting genotypes of triticum aestivum l. Grains
Luís, Inês Carmo; Lidon, Fernando C.; Pessoa, Cláudia Campos; Marques, Ana Coelho; Coelho, Ana Rita F.; Simões, Manuela; Patanita, Manuel; Dôres, Joségrant number 101-030835 UID/FIS/04559/2020; This study aimed to assess the implications of Zn enrichment in wheat grains as a function of contrasting genotypes, edaphic conditions and foliar fertilizers. Triticum aestivum L. varieties Roxo and Paiva were grown in four production fields, and sprayed with ZnSO4 (0, 16.20 and 36.40 kg/ha) Zn-EDTA (0, 6.30 and 12.60 kg/ha) and Tecnifol Zinc (0, 3.90 and 7.80 kg/ha)...
Water regime and nitrogen management to cope with wheat yield variability under...
Patanita, Manuel; Tomaz, Alexandra; Ramos, Tiago; Oliveira, Patrícia; Boteta, Luís; Dôres, JoséPOCI-01-0145-FEDER-023262 LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-023262 SAICT-POL/23262/2016; Global climate change accentuates the seasonal and interannual irregularity of temperature and precipitation of the Mediterranean climate. The consequences of this variability on wheat production are felt on its development cycle and productivity, making the production chain of this crop vulnerable to the occurrence of years with abnorm...
