The biological control of the Asian Chinese gall wasp (ACGW) Dryocosmus kuriphilus, is influenced by several factors. In 2013, a survey was carried out in three chestnut orchards near Florence (Italy) to investigate ACGW parasitization by native parasitoids and the introduced Tory...

in relation to the ecosystem’s resilience, adaptation to changes, turnover, the mortality of species, and the functioning of the whole. Therefore, the understanding of the functioning of a new habitat connected with mining activity and the possible impact on aquatic communities and a shift in ...
Figure 1. Different biostimulants used as stress alleviators in grapevine. 4.1. Biostimulants as Abiotic Stress Alleviators Kaolin Kaolin is a chemically inert and non-toxic clay that can reflect radiation [47]. This compound is widely used as a mitigation strategy to handle summer stress, ...
Overall, PGPM-GAs play a substantial role in biotic stress resistance in plants. They can enhance plant resistance to biotic stress by regulating the production of secondary metabolites and by regulating the plant’s immune system. 4.2. Cytokinin Cytokinins (CKs) are a group of plant hormones ...
Linseed, like other crops, if subjected to a variety of abiotic stresses, might have reduce yields [59]. The different abiotic stresses influencing linseed are summarised in the following subsections. 2.1. Drought Tolerance Drought is considered one ofthe most pervasive and harmful abiotic factors ...
This study aims to draw attention to the significant role that endomycorrhiza symbiosis can play as a provider of ecosystem services to ensure crop yield and assist in developing sustainable agriculture systems. Consequently, the general goal of this study is to review the work of AM growths on...
