Abstract

Rates of nitrogen transformations support quantitative descriptions and predictive understanding of the complex nitrogen cycle, but measuring these rates is expensive and not readily available to researchers. Here, we compiled a dataset of gross nitrogen transformation rates (GNTR) of mineralization, nitrification, ammonium immobilization, nitrate immobilization, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in terrestrial ecosystems. Data were extracted from 331 studies published from 1984–2022, covering 581 sites. Globally, 1552 observations were appended with standardized soil, vegetation, and climate data (49 variables in total) potentially contributing to the observed variations of GNTR. We used machine learning-based data imputation to fill in partially missing GNTR, which improved statistical relationships between theoretically correlated processes. The dataset is currently the most comprehensive overview of terrestrial ecosystem GNTR and serves as a global synthesis of the extent and variability of GNTR across a wide range of environmental conditions. Future research can utilize the dataset to identify measurement gaps with respect to climate, soil, and ecosystem types, delineate GNTR for certain ecoregions, and help validate process-based models.

Abstract

The aim of our study was to verify the effect on plant growth and biomass production of a new olive mill by-products named "Patè Olive Cake" (POC) generated by a multi-phase decanter (MPD) technology. POC is an olive mill by-product consisting of olive pulp, olive skin and vegetative water. The POC was treated with Eco-sustainable Separation and Extraction Technologies according to the methods developed and standardized by the ENEA Casaccia Research Center. In CREA Research Center for Agriculture and Environment (CREA-AA), methodologies and measurement protocols were applied both for the evaluation of different fractions of POC through biological laboratory assays to highlight their nutritional, biostimulant and toxic properties and trough experimental pot tests for the evaluation for agronomic use, from the perspective of the circular economy. Several studies have been carried out on the effects of oil mill products on the biological fertility of the soil but not on the POC. In the present work the first results obtained are reported and discussed for the adoption of protocols for the evaluation of different POC fractions through laboratory bioassays. This study was conducted within the Lazio Innova ABASA project, CUP B81G18000770002 (Agricultural By-products into valuable Assets for Sustainable Agriculture). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

14. PROSPECTS OF USING GARLIC EXTRACTS FOR PEST CONTROL IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE.

Abstract

In accordance with the Directive 2009/128/EC, the spreading of biological methods based on the sustainable use of pesticides is one of the main objective aimed at limiting the risks caused by the use of pesticides on environment and health. Plant extracts offer significant advantages in terms of sustainable agriculture and represent a feasible alternative against infestant weeds and pests for disease control of crops. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is known for its stimulating properties on plant growth and also protects plants due to its bactericidal and fungicidal activity. In this study, the antioxidant properties of aqueous extracts of garlic were evaluated by DPPH method, for the ability to provide stress resistance in plants. Moreovere, the bio-stimulant and repellent effect of 1 % (w/v) aqueous extract was evaluated on plants of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) in an open field test, under the spontaneous attack of parasites and pathogens. The vegetative conditions of plants were assessed by measuring the chlorophyll content in vivo using the fluorimeter SPAD 5200. To evaluate the antioxidant properties of fruits, generallly stimulated by abiotic environmental stress, we determined the antioxidant activity on zucchini harvested, using the same DPPH method. The results showed a higher fruit yield in treated plants due to higher vegetative vigour, higher chlorophyll content in their leaves and better flower induction compared to control plants. The zucchini plants seemed to have taken advantage from the repellent effect against insect vectors and the preventive effect of garlic extract used. Moreover we found that zucchini fruits had lower antioxidant activity in treated plants than in control plants, due to their better physiologic conditions. The introduction of plant extracts to replace conventional chemicals, could provide significant benefits on the environment and human health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Lepidoptera are the phytophagous group most at risk of impact by insect-resistant genetically modified (GM) plants since most of these crops have been developed to express toxins to specifically target lepidopteran pests. In the case of Bt-maize cultivation, pollen grains released by GM plants could dust larval host plants growing inside or nearby maize fields, thus leading to the exposure of caterpillars to the Cry toxins. This way of exposure has been studied mainly for butterflies, whereas moths, in spite of their great diversity and abundance, were rarely considered. To evaluate the potential exposure of moth species to maize pollen in absence of Cry-expressing plants, macro-moths were sampled by means of light traps in three protected areas of Northern, Central and Southern Italy where conventional maize is among the main crops. Light traps were activated in two consecutive years (2010- 11) from the beginning of June to the end of July, a period that encompasses the anthesis of most maize cultivars grown in Italy. Overall, 11446 individuals belonging to 201 species and nine families were collected. Given that larvae of several sampled species are likely to match the criteria of potential exposure to maize pollen and susceptibility to Cry toxins, macro-moths might be considered among the potential assessment endpoints for environmental risk assessment of GM plants, especially in the vicinity of protected areas.
