Abstract BACKGROUND Boreal cropping systems are heavily focused on the production of small‐grain cereals; to improve their resilience climate change and achieve food feed security, diversification is needed. This study investigated potential faba bean, narrow‐leafed lupin lentil as protein crops in southern Finland, where bean traditional but other two novel. RESULTS Early cultivars matured adequately. Protein concentration was, at 32%, higher than world average 29%, while those were close...
Mixed cropping, including intercropping, is the oldest form of systemized agricultural production and involves growing two or more species cultivars same simultaneously in field. However, mixed cropping has been little by replaced sole crop systems, especially developed countries. Some advantages are, for example, resource use efficiency yield stability, but there are also several challenges, such as weed management competition. The boreal-nemoral region lies within 55° to 70° N. In this...
Reliable estimation of leaf chlorophyll-a and -b content (chl-a + b) at canopy scales is essential for monitoring vegetation productivity, physiological stress, nutrient availability. To achieve this, narrow-band indices (VIs) derived from imaging spectroscopy data are commonly used. However, VIs affected by structures other than chl-a b, such as area index (LAI) mean tilt angle (MTA). In this study, we evaluated the performance 58 reported in literature to be b-sensitive against a unique...
Abstract Predicting and understanding the progress towards flowering in faba bean are important to achieve adaptation high productivity of crop under varying environmental conditions. Traditional controlled‐environment experiments showed that rate was dependent mainly on photoperiod temperature. Here, we highlight need include measures solar radiation water deficit order an adequate model for field The improved assessed two steps: first with a “basic” across all 20 cultivars then “extended”...
Caraway seeds contain between 0.5–7% essential oil, rich in monoterpenes that have a characteristic aroma and chemical properties. oil has several bioactive compounds are of industrial importance, particularly for pharmaceutical health care products. Carvone limonene the main terpenes present caraway which along with some unique fatty acids (i.e. petroselinic acid) determine (Carum carvi L.) quality. Both important raw materials applications their concentration influences price seed hence...
Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses that causes significant reductions in crop yield, and thushinders food security growing world population. In consequence, it urgent to select crops able toresist drought, maintain high yield have a good nutritive content. The purpose this project was toevaluate responses different accessions Andean lupin drought stress, identify if there aresignificant differences their physiological responses.To germplasm for further investigation,...
Legumes are an important component of sustainable crop rotations around the world, but under-represented in European agriculture. Finnish use grain legumes is exceptionally low. These experiments were initiated to test possibility extending range that can be grown Finland. A small germplasm blue lupin, white lentil and some other annual species tested a trial also included familiar cultivars faba bean. Faba bean yields 6.0 – 7.3 Mg ha-1, lupin 3.3 4.8 ha-1. Two reached maturity timely...
Crop yields in Finland are limited by many factors, such as the short growing season and spring drought. Thus earliness is an important breeding goal Finnish agriculture, especially needed some crops faba bean that have a longer period than cereals. During 2009-2011, 400 accessions of (Vicia L.) from 34 countries were evaluated for morpho-physiological traits related to drought resistance earliest identified. The four accessions, Cyprus Syria, sown pot experiment, together with Kontu Witkiem...
Abstract Effective solutions to biodiversity loss are multidimensional, requiring engagement from diverse stakeholders across various sectors and commitment levels. In this context, voluntary actions community members emerge as a valuable addition the large‐scale nature conservation activities conducted by states municipalities. Such complement protection measures legal requirements aimed at companies. This article delves into rescaling of offsetting level explores it perspective members....
Finnish agriculture is based on cereal cultivation and nearly half of the total utilized agricultural area (2 295 thousand ha) used for cultivating barley, oat, wheat, rye. In contrast, less than 1% grain legumes, mainly pea faba bean feed purposes. As a result, Finland has major dependence inorganic fertilizers imported vegetable protein. The Nordic region many consumers that need gluten-free products protein, so there potential demand locally grown food legumes such as lentil. After...
