Pot experiments were conducted in an open field during the rainy season in 2017 and 2018 to study the effects of the application of composted leaves of Tithonia diversifolia (T) and organo-biodegradable (OBD+) formulated fertiliser on growth, yield and concentrations of minerals and bioactive compounds in okra. Treatments consisted of four application rates of composted Tithonia leaves (0, 10, 20 and 30 g 10 kg−1 soil) and three rates of organic-biodegradable (OBD+) formulated fertiliser (0, 10 and 20 g 10 kg−1 soil), which were combined and arranged in a complete randomised design with four replications. Performance and quality parameters of okra were measured. The application of the amendments significantly increased vegetative growth and yield parameters of okra, compared with the control, with the application of 30 T + 10 OBD+ resulting in the highest values for growth and yield. The number of days to flowering and fruiting of the okra was significantly reduced by the application of the organic amendments. The results also revealed that the concentrations of mineral elements and bioactive compounds in the okra fruits significantly increased with applications of 30 T + 20 OBD + and 30 T + 10 OBD +. Therefore, for improved vegetative and yield performance as well as accumulation of mineral elements and bioactive compounds, the application of 30 T + 10 OBD+ was considered as the most suitable for the cultivation of okra in the study area.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"38 1","pages":"17 - 28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44386811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Investigating the use of organic materials as alternatives to black plastic mulch is thus crucial to enhance both the productivity and the sustainability of agricultural systems. A field experiment was carried out in three years, assessing the efficacy of several organic mulch materials, in comparison with black plastic mulch, for suppressing weeds in tomato production. The results showed that, mulching with shredded date leaves + sawdust, had the highest inhibiting impact in reducing the total weed density by approximately up to 31.3 weeds m-2 at 70 days after transplanting in all three years. The highest marketable yield of the tomatoes was obtained for plants grown with shredded date leaves + sawdust mulch in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Additionally, mulching with coco fibre, sawdust, wheat straw + sawdust, corn residue + sawdust and wood chips + sawdust resulted in similar values for marketable yield as the black plastic. The results revealed that shredded date leaves + sawdust could be a practical alternative to the use of black plastic in the production of processing tomatoes. The use of wheat straw + sawdust, barley straw + sawdust, rice straw + sawdust, corn residue + sawdust, coco fibre + sawdust, sawdust and especially coco fibre, as replacements for black plastic, would be rational options when there is no access to shredded date leaves + sawdust.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"37 1","pages":"267 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47504343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To define safe lower threshold levels of riboflavin supplementation in organic poultry feeding, 135 hybrid layers were allocated to three dietary treatments supplemented with either 4.5 (R4.5), 3.0 (R3.0) or 1.5 mg (R1.5) GMO-free riboflavin added per kg feed. This resulted in total measured concentration averages of 5.0, 4.5, and 3.1 mg kg−1 feed for R4.5, R3.0 and R1.5, respectively. For 18 weeks, each treatment was replicated in three groups of 15 hens. Feed consumption, laying performance, egg quality, riboflavin concentration in the yolk, and clinical health scores were assessed. Two hens per group (six per treatment) were slaughtered in weeks 11 and 18, respectively, for measurement of pancreas, spleen, liver and heart weights, and determination of liver riboflavin. No treatment effects on feed consumption, body weight, laying performance, egg weights, eggshell strength and yolk colour or plumage and keel bone integrity were observed. No symptoms of lameness or footpad damage were found. The riboflavin concentration in egg yolks in R1.5 was lower than in other treatments. Liver riboflavin concentration increased between week 11 and 18 in all treatments, but it was also lower in R1.5. Based on these results, the addition of 3 mg riboflavin kg−1 feed appeared to be sufficient with respect to the health and performance of laying hens. Supplementation with only 1.5 mg kg−1 resulted in some metabolic signs of deficiency. These results apply only to organic winter diets.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"38 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01448765.2021.1955005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42044220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regular pruning of evergreen trees, including Ficus retusa L., can provide large quantities of leaf litter and this study aimed to evaluate the use of this leaf residue in a horticultural production system. The effects of using the residue as an organic soil amendment were assessed, including the potential of the residue to control weeds in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) crop. Three application rates of F. retusa leaf residue (250, 500 and 1000 g m−2) were applied to the soil at two locations. At both sites, the treatments significantly reduced the density and the biomass of several weed species in a dose- and weed species-dependent manner. The total weed density and weed biomass were also substantially reduced, but there were no effects on the growth or the yield of the P. vulgaris in the treated plots. The application of the leaf residue increased soil organic carbon and some macronutrients, including available nitrogen and potassium. High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis revealed the presence of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in the F. retusa leaves and the reduction of weeds may be attributed to the release of phytotoxins from the residue. Overall, the results suggested that F. retusa leaf residue can be used as part of the weed management strategy to control weeds in P. vulgaris crops.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"37 1","pages":"252 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01448765.2021.1942986","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45536048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For plants grown with NRS, the total yield in FT7 was higher than that in any of the organic fertiliser treatments. In the organic treatments FT1, FT3 and FT4 the tomatoes had higher total soluble solids concentrations than the fruit in FT7. With drench irrigation, the concentrations of total hydrolysable polyphenols were highest in FT2, FT5 and FT7, but with NRS, it was highest is FT2. With drenching, the concentration of total condensed polyphenols was highest in FT1, whereas with NRS it was similar in all fertilisation treatments. The results indicated that for the production of grape tomatoes, adding fish-derived protein hydrolysates and using the subirrigation system can help reduce the gap between the yields of organic and conventional systems.","PeriodicalId":8904,"journal":{"name":"Biological Agriculture & Horticulture","volume":"37 1","pages":"107 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01448765.2021.1891458","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44678837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
