Fifteen oilseed cakes from sunflower, pomegranate, cardoon, tobacco and hemp were characterized with regard to chemical composition, Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS) fractionation, in vitro digestibility of dry matter, neutral detergent fiber, crude protein. All the presented low moisture, rather variable ether extract contents medium high levels protein fiber. The significantly differed terms CNCPS partitioning digestibility. Tobacco slow degradable fractions carbohydrate...

The enhancement of the plant seed yield and quality represents basis successful productivity deriving crop. effect single combined foliar treatments lettuce plants with sodium selenate garlic bulb extract on mature biochemical characteristics was investigated using four cultivars (Bouquet, Picnic, Moskovsky parnikovy Cavalier). production treated Se increased by 20–41%, compared to untreated control plants, while augmentation as much 10–23% 17–27% under joint application garlic,...

The effects of three mulch types (vermicompost, plastic, and straw) plus an untreated control, in factorial combination with irrigation regimes (RFD: rainfed condition; SIF: one supplemental at the flowering stage; SIVF: two irrigations vegetative stages) on linseed growth, seed yield oil composition, biochemical status were investigated. Linseed plants under straw showed highest (300 g 222.4 m-2, respectively), biological (887.9 m-2), concentration oleic linoleic acids. plastic application...

The Senise red pepper, known as peperone crusco, is a protected geographical indication (PGI) product from Basilicata, Italy, traditionally consumed dried. Producers use semi-open greenhouses to meet PGI standards, but significant losses are caused by rot microorganisms thriving in high moisture, temperature, and humidity, which also encourage pest infestations. To minimize losses, low-cost alert system was developed. study, conducted summer 2022 2023, used external parameters the ALSIA...

Abstract The study carried out in Matera, Italy, used multi‐criteria decision‐making techniques and geographic information systems to identify optimal area management for sustainable grape production. Terrain parameters such as temperature, pH, humidity, soil texture, slope, altitude, nutrients precipitation were considered. ArcGIS maps created, the northwest part of field was identified a favorable area. Fuzzy generated, measurements taken each determine land management. results revealed...

Optimizing high-productivity farming techniques trough mechanization and lower workforce input in terraced olive groves is helpful to preserve local oil production, reducing costs preserving ecosystem functionality. However, efficient work organisation should be provided. Moreover, can affect environmental sustainability. In this paper operative, economic performances of four harvesting are reported; experimentations were performed an grove the Sorrento Peninsula (NA) during 2022-2023...

The interest in hemp (Canapa Sativa L.) the last decade is greatly increased for its multiplicity of uses: food; textile industry; cosmetics and biochemical. In addition, seed oil a great source high quality nutrients has multi-purpose natural remedies It could be used as edible containing about 80% essential fatty acids (excellent ratio omega-6 to omega-3). aim this study was optimization seeds mechanical extraction parameters order have higher yield. variety Futura 75, cultivated...

The present study aimed to test a multipurpose sustainable tobacco farming system allowing more efficient use of production factors (e.g., mineral N fertilizer) thanks larger commercial yields, albeit diversified (smoke products, bioactive compounds for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical uses, energy), per unit land area. Three types (dark air-cured, IBG; light Bu; dark fire-cured, Ky) were grown in the field 2021 on three different soils (sandy clay loam, SCL; sandy SL; CL). total waste...

The aim of this study is to find the best conditions tobacco seed oil (TSO) press extraction, combining multiple extraction factors such as screw rotational speed, seeds preheating and temperature, in order have a higher yield. extracted oil, having peculiar chemical properties, can be used for several purposes, also edible oil. TSO was obtained using mechanical that has been assembled with head speed temperature sensors mounted on machine. Results show combination high slow significant...

The use of two nozzle diameters (6 and 8 mm) in a cold (50°C) hemp seed oil extraction process was evaluated terms efficiency, chemical composition vitro fermentation characteristics the residual cake. Seeds varieties Futura 75 Uso 31 were pressed using mechanical press with cooling device. Five pressings carried out for each variety size, functional parameters processes recorded, sample cakes ( n = 20) analyzed. 6 mm determined higher yield (+4%) limited increase temperature pressing...

Abstract The conservation and promotion of natural cultural heritage, including landscapes, constitutes a subject great economic social importance. In recent times, there has been an increasing emphasis on the debate around strategies for developing integrated approach to environmental heritage. United Nations Educational, Scientific Cultural Organization (UNESCO) highlighted these challenges in its conventions, emphasizing need proactive measures protect European Space Agency project “From...

Campania region is undergoing a new and important land use change (LUC). Large areas under tobacco are experiencing severe economic crisis cereal areas, especially in the hill, cultivated with increasing difficulty, poor results (yield value of 2.5 t/ha/year) risk erosion. No-food crops suitable these contexts perennial this case, would certainly lead to positive impact on reducing erosion, but also reduction nutrient requirement, fuel consumption perhaps it an increase profitability. The...

This study evaluated the possibility of adopting haymaking farming machinery in giant reed (Arundo donax L.) harvesting. The test shows technical and energy aspects mechanical harvesting using only one specific machine, a shredding designed developed by an Italian constructor for large biomass herbaceous crops (giant reed, sorghums, switchgrass, Mischantus, etc). It is high vegetative growth crops, as it able to spread products over all soil surfaces or, alternatively, carry out windrowing....

The automatic milking systems (AMS) have been deeply studied in dairy cows applications, but not the case of buffaloes; although, a few applications to species can be found literature. objective this study is compare some important functional aspects AMS with conventional systems. Aspects such as adaptation buffalo and possible relationship between frequency daily milk yield were evaluated. Two groups <em>Bubalus</em> <em>bubalis</em> reared same barn, farm located...

The world production of peanuts is 45.9 million tons, which China and India account for 50% the total production. cultivation in Italy has had a reduction recent decades mainly due to high harvesting costs lack specific mechanization despite possessing favorable soil climatic conditions. In this work, modern technologies are analyzed adaptation Italian areas loss containment, agronomic technique mechanical harvesting. was evaluated two steps: plant extraction separation pods. results showed...
