Fruit quality response of strawberry cv 'antilla' after application of calcium
Palencia, Pedro; Pestana, Maribela; Saavedra, Teresa; Gama, Florinda; Correia, Pedro JoséAs an important economically and nutritionally valuable fruit, strawberry has been planted everywhere worldwide, which, due to the shortage of arable land, has created an obstacle to successional farming. The study investigates the effect of calcium application in strawberry fruit quality, including fruit firmness and ºBrix. Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. 'Antilla') grown in a soilless system in a gree...
Evaluation of Chlorella vulgaris application as a biostimulant for lettuce grow...
Vieira, João; Saque, Moisés; Gama, Florinda; Viana, Catarina; Guerreiro David Coelho, Luísa Isabel; Rodrigues, Maria Helena; Varela, João; Pereira, HugoThis study evaluated the effect of Chlorella vulgaris application on the growth of soilless-grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. 'Oreja de Mulo') cultivated outdoors. Microalgae suspensions were applied weekly at concentrations of 0.5, 2.0, and 5.0 g L(-)1. Plants grown without the application of microalgae were used as the control. Leaf chlorophyll concentration was registered at the beginning and at the end of t...
Efecto del sustrato sobre las propiedades biológicas en la planta de fresa
Martínez, Fátima; Castillo, Silvia; Perez, Silvia; Palencia, Pedro; Carmona, Eusebio; Ordovás, José; Avilés, ManuelEl objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto que diferentes sustratos ejercen sobre las características microbiológicas en la rizosfera de la planta de fresa en un sistema de cultivo sin suelo cerrado. Se ensayaron 3 sustratos: compost de corcho más cascarilla de arroz 1:1 v:v (CC), turba (T) y fibra de coco (FC). Se evaluó la comunidad microbiana y las propiedades químicas de los sustratos. El CC presentó...
Mycorrhizal inoculation affects the phytochemical content in strawberry fruits
Cecatto, Ana Paula; Ruiz, Fátima Martínez; Calvete, Eunice Oliveira; Martínez, Jesús; Palencia, PedroThe aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of the inoculation date of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the fruit quality and the content of phytochemicals in a strawberry soilless growing system. The experiment was performed in Huelva (Spain) and was conducted in a greenhouse on the La Rábida Campus of Huelva University under natural light and temperature from October 2013 to June 2014. Three short-day ...
Effect of Bacillus velezensis and Glomus intraradices on fruit quality and grow...
Palencia, Pedro; Martinez, Fatima; Pestana, Maribela; Oliveira, Jose A.; Correia, Pedro J.This study evaluates the effect on the 'Splendor' and 'Primoris' strawberry cultivars of different dates of inoculation with Glomus intraradices, an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus. Additionally, plants were grown in a soilless growing system with or without Bacillus velezensis at the beginning of the experiment. A completely randomized block design (2 biofertilizer treatments x 2 cultivars x 3 inoculation d...
