Effectiveness of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) in Reducing Wireworm Damage in Potatoes Open
Wireworms are a major threat to potatoes. Agronomic prevention is always the first IPM strategy to be implemented. This work assesses whether a bioactive cover crop, sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), a tropical leguminous plant, reduces wi…

Integrated Pest Management of Wireworms in Potatoes: Use of Tolerant Varieties to Implement Damage Prevention Open
Wireworms (Agriotes spp., Coleoptera, Elateridae) are a major threat to potatoes, as are the current commercial standards for assessing potato damage. To reduce wireworm impacts on potato crops and comply with IPM legislation, we started r…

Disentangling eukaryotic biodiversity patterns from man‐made environments (port and marina) and nearby coral reefs in the Red Sea: A focus on the surveillance of non‐indigenous species Open
Man‐made environments such as ports and marinas are gateways for many marine non‐indigenous species (mNIS) transported via shipping worldwide. These habitats are often the focus of biosecurity programs for the surveillance of mNIS, but the…

Overall Quality of “Early” Potato Tubers as Affected by Organic Cultivation Open
Understanding the nature of the perceived quality advantage of organically-grown early crop potatoes over conventionally-grown ones is of relevance given the expansion in demand for foodstuffs produced by environmentally friendly agricultu…

Mycorrhizal Inoculation Improves Mineral Content of Organic Potatoes Grown under Calcareous Soil Open
Soil mycorrhization can play an important role for the qualitative improvement of organically grown “early” potato tubers especially in low fertility soils (such as calcareous ones), by ameliorating plant uptake of limiting mineral nutrien…

Solving Phosphites Emergency In Organic Fruit And Vegetables: The Participatory Biofosf Project Open
Quality and safe food is an imperative in organic production. Recently, in EU market some organic fruits and vegetables were positive (>0.01 mg/kg) to phosphonic acid (i.e., phosphite), despite fosetyl-Al or phosphite are not allowed as pl…

Productive and Physiological Response of Organic Potato Grown under Highly Calcareous Soils to Fertilization and Mycorrhization Management Open
The enhancement of the actual low yields is the most important challenge regarding organic farming management. In this view, a valid tool may arise by the improvement of fertilization management and efficiency. In this regard, arbuscular m…

Assessing the Origin of Phosphonic Acid Residues in Organic Vegetable and Fruit Crops: The Biofosf Project Multi-Actor Approach Open
Recently, on the EU market, phosphonic acid residues were detected in many organic goods, although fosetyl-derivates and phosphite salts are not allowed by Reg. EC n. 889/2009. The BIOFOSF project “Solving phosphite issue in organic fruit …

Using Digestate and Biochar as Fertilizers to Improve Processing Tomato Production Sustainability Open
The principal goal of the organic farming system (OFS) is to develop enterprises that are sustainable and harmonious with the environment. Unfortunately, the OFS yields fewer products per land than the non-organic farming system in many ag…

Anthocyanin and carotenoid contents assessed by time-resolved reflectance spectroscopy in potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) with different flesh colors Open
This work aimed at studying the relationships between the absorption spectra acquired by time-resolved reflectance spectroscopy (TRS) and the carotenoid (CAR) and/or the anthocyanin (ANT) contents in 9 potato genotypes with different flesh…

Potential of golden potatoes to improve vitamin A and vitamin E status in developing countries Open
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most widely consumed plant food by humans. Its tubers are rich in starch and vitamin C, but have low or null levels of essential nutrients such as provitamin A and vitamin E. Transformation of pot…
