Enhancing Tomato Growth and Quality Under Deficit Irrigation with Silicon Appli...
Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Pereira, Alexis; Pinela, José; Liava, Vasiliki; Chaski, Christina; Alexopoulos, Alexios A.; Barros, LillianThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of two irrigation systems (deficit irrigation (DI)—70% of field capacity—and full irrigation (FI)—100% of field capacity) and a biostimulant formulation (silicon (Si) and calcium (Ca) at four different rates) on the chemical composition and fruit quality of greenhouse-grown tomatoes. Deficit irrigation and biostimulant application influenced the proximate composition of t...
How Does Domestic Cooking Affect the Biochemical Properties of Wild Edible Gree...
Liava, Vasiliki; Fernandes, Ângela; Reis, Filipa S.; Finimundy, Tiane C.; Mandim, Filipa; Pinela, José; Stojković, Dejan; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Wild edible greens are a key ingredient of the so-called Mediterranean diet and they are commonly used in various local dishes in their raw or processed form. Domestic processing of edible greens may affect their nutritional value and chemical profile. In this work, six wild species (e.g., Cichorium spinosum L. (S1); Centaurea raphanina subsp. mixta (DC.) Runemark (S2); Picris echioides (L.) Holub (S3); Urosper...
The effect of biostimulants on fruit quality of processing tomato grown under d...
Liava, Vasiliki; Chaski, Christina; Añibarro-Ortega, Mikel; Pereira, Alexis; Pinela, José; Barros, Lillian; Petropoulos, Spyridon Α.Water shortage can be a restrictive factor for the growth and quality of vegetable crops. Considering the alleviating effects of biostimulant application against water stress, this study aimed to investigate the effect of four biostimulant products (protein and amino acids with carboxylic acids (Tr1); protein and amino acids with seaweed extracts (Tr2); humic and fulvic acids with seaweed extracts (Tr3); SiO2 (...
