Fungicides are usually applied on strawberries to manage gray mold, induced by the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. In this study, four reduced-risk fungicides (formulations of pyrimethanil, PYR, 175 mL/hL; boscalid, BOS, 80 g/hL; combination fludioxonil, FLU, +cyprodinil, CYP, 110 g/hL) were before harvest for management post-harvest diseases strawberries. The resulting fungicide residues strawberry fruit also quantified. Strawberry fruits harvested at 0, 4, 8, and 12 days following...
Abstract Copper (Cu) toxicity is a pressing concern for several soils, especially in organic viticulture. The objective of this work was to assess Cu on the non-target organism Eisenia fetida , employing both traditional and novel tools early identification Cu-induced damages. In addition tests like avoidance reproductive experiments, other such as single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) gut microbiome analysis were evaluated identify more sensitive pollution biomarkers. Four sub-lethal...
The review deals with the environmental problem caused by low or moderate nickel concentrations in soils. main effects of this potentially toxic element on soil biota and most common crop species are addressed. Moreover, paper emphasises biological remediation methods against pollution European focus is well-accepted phytoremediation strategy alone combination other more less innovative bioremediation approaches such as microbial bioremediation, vermiremediation use amendments sequestrants....
A soil and an organic biomix (soil/vine branch/garden compost 20/40/40) were used in this lab experiment to evaluate adsorption degradation parameters for three pesticides (chlorpyrifos, metalaxyl cymoxanil) a vineyard. Adsorption the material was higher than chlorpyrifos most adsorbed pesticide. The role of carbon is essential enhancing adsortion pesticides, especially apolar chlorpyrifos. Degradation generally faster although process slower case if compared with other two chemicals, due...
Earthworms and microbial communities are essential non-target soil organisms that useful to assess the collateral impact of pesticides. The present paper reports three laboratory experiments performed investigate effects sub-lethal doses two insecticides, a biologically-derived (spinosad) synthetic organophosphate (chlorpyrifos), on earthworm Eisenia foetida microorganisms in organic soil. were studied terms behaviour, reproduction, survival, DNA damage (comet assay) earthworms, Next...
The phytoremediation potential of four crop species cultivated on carbonation lime coming from the sugar industry with water-soluble nickel (Ni) exceeding Italian legal limit 10 µg L-1 was assessed. Two autumn-winter (spinach and canola) were tested without addition bentonite in a greenhouse experiment order to overcome prolonged unfavourable weather conditions. spring-summer (sunflower sorghum) grown outdoor boxes. Plant selected among crops interest for their rotation throughout year...
The present study aimed to i) assess the disintegration of a novel bio-packaging during aerobic composting (2 and 6 % tested concentrations) evaluate resulting compost ii) analyse ecotoxicity bioplastics residues on earthworms; iii) microbial communities in 'earthworms' gut after their exposure bioplastic residues; iv) correlate microbiota with analyses; v) chemico-physical characterisation earthworms' exposure. Both concentrations showed close 90 from first sampling time, chemical analyses...
Brassicaceae products have been extensively studied for their biofumigant activity; despite this, few investigate effect on soil proprieties. This paper aims to describe the fertility by adding seed meal of Brassica carinata at three different doses corresponding field dose (3 tons/ha), 10 and 100 fold this in organic soil. The carbon balance was evaluated analysing oxidisable, humified mineralised fractions. Microbial activity measured enzymes linked carbon, phosphorous sulphur...
The extensive employment of copper-based fungicides has increased copper concentration in vineyard soils. present study’s objectives were to monitor two soils during cropping seasons and study the ecotoxicological effects on earthworm Eisenia fetida. Total, soluble, bioavailable fractions measured at end different depths vineyards central Italy, characterised by three anticryptogamic control methods: compounds, chitosan, combined treatments them. A laboratory experiment assess fetida was...
The oceans are one of the final destinations for vast majority plastic waste; in this sense, particles smaller than 5 mm, classified as microplastics (MPs), represent an environmental challenge with global impact on several ecosystems. work evaluated presence MPs marine waters off northern coast Santa Catarina (Brazil), addressing sampling procedures, opening, characterization, and polymer identification. A low-cost equipment developed easily accessible materials was tested sampling, showing...
The goal was the early identification of damage induced by copper on non-target organism Eisenia fetida with sensitive tools to implement understanding impact element natural vineyard soil. paper reports three ecotoxicological tests four sub-lethal concentrations asses any adverse effect earthworms. In addition standard avoidance and reproduction experiments, a toxicity experiment set up evaluate: DNA damage, bioaccumulation factor, effects gut bacterial microbiota. Furthermore, speciation...
Policies for sustainable management of watersheds and groundwater quality still exist, but decline water is being observed, especially due to the human impact on environment.In this study, a comparison between two areas in Marche region, very different from geological, pedological hydrological points view, has been performed with objective identify study transfer mechanism pollutants pollution source, through soil matrix surface ground waters.The first area characterized by high impact,...
