Frumento tenero Risultati della 35^ sperimentazione nazionale: Puglia, Campania, Basilicata e Sicilia.
2008
Malattie fungine più diffuse sui frumenti biologici
2016
Nell’annata agraria 2015-2016, nell'ambito della Rete nazionale prove biologiche frumento duro e della Rete nazionale prove biologiche frumento tenero, è stato valutato il comportamento di 22 e 18 varietà dell’una e dell’altra specie di frumento. Le prove sono state ospitate in 12 e 9 località dislocate su tutto il territorio nazionale. Le indagini fitopatologiche hanno evidenziato la comparsa di diversi patogeni. Nei campi sperimentali delle Reti nazionali di monitoraggio è stata confermata la presenza del complesso della septoriosi; un’attenzione particolare va sicuramente rivolta anche alla ruggine gialla.
Flavouring Extra-Virgin Olive Oil with Aromatic and Medicinal Plants Essential Oils Stabilizes Oleic Acid Composition during Photo-Oxidative Stress
2021
Essential oils (EOs) from medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are well-known as natural antioxidants. Their addition to extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) can contribute to reducing fat oxidation. The main aim of this study was to improve both food shelf-life and aromatic flavour of EVOO, adding different EOs of Sicilian accessions of common sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme. The morphological and production characteristics of 40 accessions of MAPs were preliminarily assessed. EOs from the most promising accessions of MAPs were analysed by gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry. Photo-oxidative studies of the EOs were carried out and the determination of the EVOO fatty acids obtained from 4 I…

PRODUCTIVE, COMMERCIAL AND QUALITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF SICILIAN LANDRACE TOMATO.
2012
This paper shows the results obtained in 2007 of a study carried out at the Sparacia experimental farm (Cammarata AG, 37°37’N, 13°42’E) aimed at identifying and evaluating 26 populations of “long-life tomato” collected from the Province of Palermo, Agrigento and Trapani. The farm, which belongs to the Sicilian Agricultural Development Agency (E.S.A), is located in a sub-arid area with average rainfall levels of approx. 500 mm and average min/max temperatures of 9 and 21°C. The soil is characterised by level land, deep soil with sandy clay texture and subalkaline soil pH classified as Eutric Vertisols, WRB (FAO-ISRIC-ISSS, 1998). The planting tomato crop was carried out according to traditio…
Aspetti colturali e valorizzazione di officinali per impieghi agro-industiali
2009
L’uso delle piante officinali in Sicilia è stato rilevante sin da epoche remote. Ciò, oltre ad essere documentato dalla molteplicità di conoscenze tramandate dalla tradizione popolare, è desumibile dall’importanza che in passato hanno assunto alcune colture come frassino da manna, sommacco, mirto, ecc. Tale interesse è ampiamente giustificato dalla cospicua presenza di specie officinali, ricche di principi attivi, nella flora nativa locale. La Sicilia, quindi, possiede un potenziale serbatoio finora utilizzato in modo parziale, imperfetto ed empirico. Dalla coltivazione dei biotipi locali è possibile ottenere un prodotto di alta qualità e omogeneità. Per le coltivazioni specializzate si pon…
Prove di coltivazione di Camomilla comune (Chamomilla recutita Rausch.) nell’ambiente semiarido mediterraneo.
2009
La Camomilla comune (Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rausch) è una pianta erbacea annuale originaria del sud-est asiatico, che oggi, grazie alle sue riconosciute proprietà calmanti e sedative, è largamente diffusa e coltivata in tutto il mondo. In tempi recenti, un forte interesse verso la specie deriva anche dalla sua possibilità di utilizzazione in svariate branche dell’industria, dalla farmaceutica (che ne sfrutta le proprietà sedative e antinfiammatorie), alla cosmetica (che la utilizza per la preparazione di creme, detergenti, profumi e shampoo), all’alimentare (che ne fa uso per bevande, dolci, gelati, liquori e vermouth). La larga diffusione della specie fa sì che in larga parte la sua tecn…
A study of thyme germplasm in Sicily
2009
hyme is characteristic of the Mediterranean and is of interest for its multifunctional nature. It is widely used in seasoning and flavouring, in herbal products and cosmetics. The versatility of this species means it is also useful in the protection of areas prone to erosion or an ornamental plant when designing low-maintenance gardens. Thyme germplasm constitutes a large part of the wild flora in Sicily and is a potentially useful source of genetic variability. On the basis of this, in the two-year period from 2004-2005, research was carried out on wild thyme accessions. These were used to evaluate both its productivity and individual biotypes with the functional characteristics most sough…
Morpho-physiological and adaptive variation of Italian germplasm of sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.)
2014
Sulla is a biennial forage legume native to the central-western Mediterranean Basin and has increasing interest for regions with Mediterranean-climate. The Italian germplasm is a reservoir of variation for important agronomic traits. This study aimed to support breeding programs by investigating patterns of agronomic, adaptive and morpho-physiological variation among ecotypes collected from the three main Italian regions of species cultivation: central Italy, and the two islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Forage yield and morpho-physiological traits were evaluated at a site with Mediterranean climate in Sicily. Forage yield and cold tolerance in a cold-prone site of northern Italy were also as…
An evaluation of the productive potential of various Sicilian oregano biotypes for culinary uses
2009
In Mediterranean cooking, oregano is an aromatic herb which is mostly known for its pleasant, characteristic aroma. Although it grows wild throughout the Island of Sicily, it is cultivated in order to satisfy the growing demand for this herb for seasoning. In order to ensure success, specially selected plant material (superior qualities and good productive performance) is necessary for specialised cultivation. This paper contains the productive results (2000-2005) of several oregano accessions, previously characterized in terms of morphology and quality in a field collection catalogue. The productive response was found to vary for the different biotypes under examination. Several of these r…
