THE IMPACT OF PLANT PROTECTION AND FERTILIZATION ON CONTENT OF BIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES IN ORGANIC HOPS

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2015
 Hop (Humulus lupulus) is one of the basic raw materials employed in brewing. All hops secondary metabolites exhibit pronounced bioactive effects. Therefore beer is the most important source of hop bioactive compounds in the human diet.

By‐product of heparin extraction as a sustainable alternative to enhance the use of nitrogen in agriculture

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the potential of a new organic fertilizer derived from porcine intestinal mucosa (designated BHE), a by‐product of the heparin extraction process, as a sustainable nitrogen (N) source for agriculture. The work was conducted in two stages: (i) chemical and spectroscopic characterization of BHE compared with poultry litter ...

Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress. Methods This study compared three cultivars: “Crescent Sunn,” “Loei,” and “Red Mini,” at 60 and 90 days after seeding over the

Variation and spread of resistomes in swine manure, manure slurries, and long-term manure-fertilized soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Background Application of swine manure to soils exacerbates environmental antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, a comprehensive evaluation of anaerobic digestion’s (AD) mitigation potential against AMR and its influencing factors in swine manure-to-soil systems remains lacking.

Environmental Pesticide Exposure in the Etiology of Pediatric Brain Tumors and Leukemia: A Scoping Review of Epidemiological Studies

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Antiviral defense systems drive persistence of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria but limit the transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes in anaerobic digestion

iMeta, EarlyView.
Phage–host interactions critically shape environmental antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Using swine manure anaerobic digestion and multi‐omics (metagenomics, meta‐transcriptomics, and Hi‐C), we mapped the phage–bacteria arms race and its impact on AMR dynamics.

INFLUENCE OF FERTILIZATION AND HERBICIDES APPLICATION ON SOIL MICROFLORA AND ELEMENTS OF SUGAR BEET YIELD [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2004
Two-year sugar beet trials were set up on two localities: Đakovo (Stagnic Luvisol) and Osijek (Dystric Cambisol). The soils showed acid environment respond (pHKCL 4.9 – 5.4) and low humus contents (1.3 – 1.6%).

Influence of Ash Applied to Oat Crop (Avena sativa L.) Grown under Organic Fertilization with Manure

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The power plant ash is an inorganic residue with a variable chemical buildup according to the type of charcoal used and quality. Depositing, stabilizing and eventually reintegrating the ash in the natural circuit raises a series of problems due to its ...
