Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Effect of saline irrigation on Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze grown on different soil types under greenhouse conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change and population growth are major challenges for sustainable food production, particularly in regions affected by water scarcity and soil salinization. In this context, halophytes represent promising candidates as alternative and sustainable food crops for salt‐affected areas.

A review on soilless cultivation: The hope of urban agriculture

Archives of Agriculture and Environmental Science, 2022
The cultivation of plants without using soil as a rooting medium is known as soilless farming. Depending on the requirement and type of crop, there are several soilless systems, including hydroponic, aeroponic, vertical farming, and others. The rate at which megacities are growing is worrying.

Preharvest supplemental lighting enhances productivity and modulates postharvest quality in hydroponically grown Apulian unripe melon ‘Scopatizzo’ (Cucumis melo L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Preharvest light management is increasingly used to enhance yield and fruit quality in soilless systems, yet its effects on unripe melon fruits remain poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of supplemental red–blue light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting applied during cultivation in a closed‐cycle hydroponic system on ...

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.

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Nitrogen levels in the cultivation of strawberries in soilless culture [PDF]

Horticultura Brasileira, 2011
In soilless grown strawberry crops, the nitrogen concentration of the nutrient solution affects plant growth and fruit yield and quality. The present research was conducted to determine the effect of nitrogen concentration in the nutrient solution on plant growth and development and fruit yield and quality of this crop.
