Evaluating Water–Energy–Food Nexus Strategies to Address Resource Scarcity in the Crocodile River Catchment, South Africa

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach highlights the interdependence of water, energy and food resources, all of which play central roles in agriculture, especially irrigation. A WEF nexus lens was applied to Mpumalanga's Crocodile River catchment, a vital irrigation area that significantly contributes to South Africa's staple food ...

Soil Silicon Application Alleviates Drought Stress in Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: The increasing frequency and intensity of drought events have led to yield and quality losses in sugar beet production in temperate regions in Central Europe. Under arid conditions, silicon (Si) application reduced beet yield losses under drought. Similar data for temperate climates are missing.

Influence of the growing area on cone yield and alpha and beta acid content in Cascade hops: An Italian case study

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Territorial food production is a well‐known quality trait, which is attracting new customer preferences for different agricultural products. In this context, many microbreweries and agricultural breweries started to cultivate their own small hopyard to exploit the so‐called “terroir” effect.

Degradation kinetics of postharvest quality attributes of rocket leaves grown under different nitrogen rates

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. cv Dallas (rocket leaves) is one of the most widely consumed fresh‐cut salad vegetables in Europe, especially in southern Italy, being appreciated for its pungent taste and health promoting phytochemicals. However, its short postharvest shelf‐life is still a major drawback.
