Abstract:Crop cycles in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) and carinata (Brassica carinata A. Braun) are controlled by temperature and photoperiod. In the central region of South America, which accounts for 90% of South American rapeseed crop production, farmers seek to sow as early as possible to maximize yield even though early sowing dates expose crops to a higher probability of frost occurrence that had not been quantified before.

Abstract To evaluate the effect of a short-term energy-protein supplementation during the peripartum on birth, colostrum, and vigour traits of lambs, 214 multiparous Corriedale pregnant ewes grazing native pastures were used. Ewes, according to body conditions score and body weight, were assigned to a 2 × 2 factorial design:type of birth (single or twin), and supplementation (yes or no). Single (n = 67) and twin bearing (n = 39) non-supplemented, and single (n = 67) and twin bearing supplemented ewes (n = 41) were observed during lambing in two similar sub-paddocks.

Abstract: The presence of Amaranthus spp. Plants showing symptoms caused by root-knot nematode infection were detected in soybean fields from the municipality of Palmitas, Soriano, and Colonia del Sacramento, Colonia - Uruguay. After weed plants collection with root knot nematodes, the causal agents were identified as Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica from their morphology, esterase phenotypes, and species-specific characterized sequence amplified region (SCAR) sequences. The modified version of Koch's postulates was used to confirm the pathogenicity of Meloydogine ssp.

ABSTRACT.- Sustainable intensification (SI) has become a central issue in both academic and political-institutional debates. Questions mostly center on the term's conceptual scope.

Abstract:The present study evaluated the effects of in vitro maturation (IVM) on the proteome of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) from ewes. Extracted COC proteins were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Differences in protein abundances (p

Abstract:Sub-nutrition during pregnancy might affect the offspring´s reproductive performance through effects on the development and function of gonads. This study evaluated a maternal energy restriction in ewes from day 48?106 of gestation, on pre- and post-weaning female lambs` performance, onset of female lambs? breeding and ovulation rate during their first breeding season.
