      "Polymyxa betae is a biotrophic obligate sugar beet parasite that belongs to plasmodiophorids. The infection of sugar beet roots by this parasite is asymptomatic, except when it transmits Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), the causal agent of rhizomania. To date, there has been little work on P. betae–sugar beet molecular interactions, mainly because of the obligate nature of the parasite and ...

      "Évaluer la fertilité des sols n'est pas trivial. Très souvent, on résume cela à une série de mesures physico-chimiques telles que le pH, la granulométrie (texture), la richesse en éléments nutritifs (P, K, etc.) ou le statut organique (teneur en carbone total). Cette approche a ses avantages car elle se base sur des procédures éprouvées et bien souvent standardisées, relativement rapides et stables ...
