ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

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

open access: yesJSFA 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.

REDUCTION OF LEAKAGE FROM ORGANIC MANURE

open access: yesENVIRONMENT. TECHNOLOGY. RESOURCES. Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference, 2001
Environmental problems of leakage minimisation from solid manure handling in Latvia are discussed. Volume and composition of leakage from solid manure are investigated in storage period. Amount of plant nutrients in effluents are measured 0,099 kg nitrogen, 0,029 kg phosphorus and 0,381 kg potassium per tonne manure in 14-day period of accumulation and
