In the last 50 years, intensive farming systems have been boosted by modern agricultural techniques and newly bred cultivars. The massive use of few related cultivars has dramatically reduced apple genetic diversity local varieties, confined to marginal areas. Central Italy a limited spread fruit orchards made it possible preserve much diversity, but at same time coexistence both ancient varieties generated some confusion. characterization clarification synonyms, homonyms, and/or labeling...
Abstract The characterization of pig sludge liquid fraction (PSLF) was conducted to achieve a better understanding its chemical and physical characteristics. Total dissolved organic carbon (TDOC) from separated into two fractions: acid insoluble (AIDOC) soluble (ASDOC). Elemental analysis, acidic functional group determination, E 4 /E 6 ratio, Gel‐Filtration Cromatography FTIR Spectroscopy ASDOC AIDOC showed similarity with humic fulvic acids, isolated soils wastes. Phosphorus‐31 Nuclear...
Pear is one of the oldest fruit tree crops and third most important temperate species. Its domestication took place independently in Far East (China) Caucasus region. While origin Eastern Asian cultivars clear, that European still doubt. Italy has a wealth local varieties genetic resources safeguarded by several public private collections to face erosion caused introduction improved specialized orchards. The objectives present study were: (i) characterize existing germplasm through nuclear...
This in-farm research study was aimed at evaluating new strategies in the use of plastic protective covers field grown melon order to expand production period and reduce costs. Four experiments were set up 2010 repeated 2011 Central Italy, an inland region with a temperate climate. We evaluated: i) high tunnels for two growing cycles per year, i.e. very early late (target transplanting winter mid-summer, respectively), either one year or consecutive years, grafted plants second as...
In this study, we were interested in comparing the amino acid profile a specific variety of onion, Rossa da inverno sel. Rojo Duro, produced two different Italian sites: Cannara (Umbria region) and Imola (Emilia Romagna sites. Onions cultivated comparable manner, mostly terms mineral fertilization, seeding, harvesting stages, as well good weed control. Furthermore, both regions, plants irrigated by water sprinkler method subjected to similar temperature weather conditions. A further group...
In the frame of a broader project, we were interested at comparing amino acid profile in specific variety onion, Rossa da inverno sel. Rojo Duro, produced two different Italian sites: Cannara (Umbria region) and Imola (Emilia Romagna region). both places, onions cultivated harvested same way, irrigated by water sprinkler method. A further group onions, growth microirrigation, was also evaluated. After extraction free mixture from onion samples, an ion-pairing RP-HPLC method allowed...
Through the Measure 1.2.4. - «Cooperation for development of new products, processes and technologies in agriculture food sector forestry sector» Umbria Region has started an important process agricultural innovation adopting principles Agriculture Innovation System (AIS). integrated analysis management, this paper analyzes initiatives planned by agri-food through (Innovation Action Plan, IAP) relating to ability innovate capacity, IC) sector. Data were collected a desk concerning 137...
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a pseudocereal grown on limited extensions in Italy andWestern Europe general, but currently the subject of considerable interest from scientific community and consumers for its unique nutritional properties: it rich vitamins mineral salts, dietary fiber antioxidant substances, free gluten.This species also has agronomic characteristics that make suitable cultivation mountain environments, enabling farmers to extend change crop rotations: short...
