Microbial inoculants such as Trichoderma-based products are receiving great interest among researchers and agricultural producers for their potential to improve crop productivity, nutritional quality well resistance plant pathogens/pests numerous environmental stresses. Two greenhouse experiments were conducted assess the effects of biostimulants under suboptimal, optimal supraoptimal levels nitrogen (N) fertilization in two leafy vegetables: Iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) rocket (Eruca...
The current research elucidated the agronomical, physiological, qualitative characteristics and mineral composition of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) after treatments with a beneficial fungus Trichoderma virens (TG41) alone or in combination vegetal biopolymer-based biostimulant (VBP; ‘Quik-link’). experiment consisted plants grown three N conditions: sub-optimal (0N kg ha−1), optimal (70N supra-optimal (140N ha−1) levels. Lettuce under 0N fertilization showed significant...
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) have been reported to increase phosphate (P) content and plant growth. Their application in agricultural systems is an eco-friendly alternative strategy for limiting negative environmental impact of chemical fertilizers increasing costs. Therefore, the aim this study was isolate characterize new putative PSB use as inoculum enhance growth P bioavailability soil. Sixteen were isolated from Moroccan oat rhizosphere screened their P-solubilization by...
Phytocannabinoids represent the hallmark of secondary metabolism Cannabis sativa . The content major phytocannabinoids is closely related to genetic variation as well abiotic elicitors such temperature, drought, and saline stress. present study aims evaluate hemp response irrigation supplied NaCl solutions with an electrical conductivity (EC) 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 dS m -1 (S1, S2, S3, respectively) compared a tap water control (S0). In addition, potential beneficial effect plant-based biostimulant...
Organic and inorganic xenobiotic compounds can affect the potential ecological function of soil, altering its biodiversity. Therefore, response microbial communities to environmental pollution is a critical issue in soil ecology. Here, high-throughput sequencing approach was used investigate indigenous bacterial fungal community structure as well impact pollutants on their diversity richness contaminated noncontaminated soils National Interest Priority Site Campania Region (Italy) called...
Scientists, extensions specialists, and growers are seeking sustainable agricultural practices that able to cope with these objectives in order ensure global food security minimize environmental damage. The use of mulching films plant biostimulants agriculture seems be a valid solution for tackling rising concerns. A greenhouse experiment was conducted elucidate the morpho-physiological nutritive characteristics lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) response foliar application tropical extract (PE)...
The urgency to reduce resource depletion and waste production is expected lead an economy based on renewable resources. Biofuels, for instance, are a great green alternative fossil fuel, but they currently derived from edible vegetable oils such as soybean, palm, sunflower. Concerns have been raised about the social–economic implication ecological impacts of biodiesel production. Cultivating new lands feedstock rather than food supply, with consequent increase in prices, leads so-called...
Tomato is a great source of bioactive compounds, important for human health, and cultivated worldwide. However, the high inputs required its cultivation must be sustainably managed in order to limit yield losses, thus obtaining high-quality environmentally friendly production. In this perspective, we compared four biostimulant treatments, i.e., Ascophyllum nodosum extract—Bio; microbial containing micro-organism Trichoderma afroharzianum—Mic; combination both—M-B; not treated—Control) three...
Little information is available as to the real effectiveness of phytoextraction remediation technique, since laboratory experiments are still most common way in which this measured. Given this, an experiment on a cadmium-polluted soil was carried out open field conditions Southern Italy with aim assessing growth and potential giant reed (Arundo donax L). Compost fertilisation Trichoderma harzianum A6 inoculations were used verify possibility increasing metal uptake crop. Biomass yield first...
The present study addresses the effects of Trichoderma-based biostimulants and nitrogen (N) fertilization levels on agronomic performance functional quality two important greenhouse leafy vegetables: lettuce rocket. A factorial analysis relative (Trichoderma harzianum strain T22 Trichoderma virens GV41) N (sub-optimal, optimal, supra-optimal) was carried out to evaluate crop productive behavior (marketable unmarketable yields, leaf dry matter content, biomass production), nutrition (N...
The effects of the co-location energy production from a photovoltaic (PV) plant and aromatic crops (thyme, oregano, Greek mountain tea) in hot dry environment have been investigated Enel Green Power PV located Kourtesi (Greece). study was aimed at evaluating influence on microclimate, soil temperature water potential, crops’ growth testing area (the corridors between two modules rows) compared to full sunlight control area. net radiation wind speed recorded showed 44% 38% reduction...
Five durum wheat cultivars were grown in a Mediterranean area (Southern Italy) under conventional and organic farming with the aim to evaluate agronomic, technological, sensory, sanitary quality of grains pasta. The cultivar Matt produced best pasta cropping system, while parameters evaluated unsatisfactory farming. Saragolla showed yield amount all experimental conditions, thus proving be more adapt In tested nivalenol (NIV) deoxynivalenol (DON) occurrence was very low other mycotoxins...
