Remote Monitoring of Crop Nitrogen Nutrition to Adjust Crop Models: A Review
Silva, Luís; Conceição, Luís Alcino; Lidon, Fernando Cebola; Maçãs, BenvindoNitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a central issue to address regarding the nitrogen (N) uptake by crops, and can be improved by applying the correct dose of fertilizers at specific points in the fields according to the plants status. The N nutrition index (NNI) was developed to diagnose plant N status. However, its determination requires destructive, time-consuming measurements of plant N content (PNC) and plant...

Coelho, Ana Rita F.; Ramalho, José C.; Lidon, Fernando Cebola; Marques, Ana Coelho; Daccak, Diana; Pessoa, Cláudia Campos; Luís, Inês CarmoCalcium is essential for plants, yet as its mobility is limited, the understanding of the rate of Ca2+ accumulation and deposition in tissues of tubers, as well as the interactions with other critical nutrients prompted this study. To assess the interactions and differential accumulation of micro and macronutrients in the tissues of tubers, Solanum tuberosum L. varieties Agria and Rossi were cultivated and, aft...

Nonetheless, Green Banana Flour (GBF) can be an alternative to minimize these losses, further being a good source of nutrients, fiber, resistant starch and micronutrients. Considering the interesting possibilities of GBF utilization i...
