Sprayers inspection in Venetian Region: experiences, issues and future perspectives
Get PDFItaly fully adopted the 2009 Directive on Sustainable Use of Pesticides (SUD) only in 2014 with the publication of the National Action Plan (NAP), but some regions had started to put the service on immediately after the enter into force of the Directive as well. Venetian Regional administration issued a deliberation early in 2011 in order to re-organise the existing voluntary-based service according to the new legislation, train inspectors and authorize appointed workshops. Between 2011 and 2014, four training coursed were set up and 132 inspectors were licensed; in the following years, 41 testing centres were acknowledged in the Region, in addition to 11 extra-regional centres by mutual acknowledgement.
On the deadline of 26th November 2016, over 25.000 inspection were performed. The present work reports the results of the activity of the inspection service, the Issues and criticalities that emerged about the application of the protocols established by the NAP.Italy fully adopted the 2009 Directive on Sustainable Use of Pesticides (SUD) only in 2014 with the publication of the National Action Plan (NAP), but some regions had started to put the service on immediately after the enter into force of the Directive as well.

What to be considered when you buy a sprayer: the SPISE advice
Get PDFSince the publication of European Directive (2009/127/EC), environmental requirements for new orchard sprayers are mandatory. Only equipment which has successfully accomplish the specifications can be placed into the EU market. For this purpose, the new harmonized ISO 16119 series represents an interesting tool to fulfil the requirements. However, not all the sprayers placed in the marked after the publication of the Directive are in line with it. SPISE community has developed a practical guideline in order to guarantee a clear and universal dissemination among farmers and other stakeholders about the main requirements to be accomplished by the sprayers.Since the publication of European Directive (2009/127/EC), environmental requirements for new orchard sprayers are mandatory.

Nutritional compositions in roots, twigs, leaves, fruit pulp, and seeds from pawpaw (Asimina triloba [L.] Dunal) grown in Korea
Get PDFPawpaw (Asimina triloba L.) roots, twigs, leaves, fruit, and seeds were analyzed for their nutritional compositions. Seeds exhibited significantly higher levels of crude protein, lipid, fiber, and dietary fiber than those of the other parts. Sucrose in fruit was 9321.24 mg%, which was the highest among the samples. The total essential amino acid to total amino acid ratio was highest in the leaves, and the leaves contained the highest amount of potassium. The calcium content ranged between 8.15-153.41 mg%. Oleic and linoleic acids in seeds were 5905.11 and 8045.56 mg%, respectively, which were the highest among the pawpaw parts. The highest amount of linolenic acid was measured in the leaves, and β-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E were also the most abundant in the leaves. These results suggest that every part of pawpaw is a good source of an important food item. Additionally, this study provides basic data for improving the sitological value of pawpaw
Solar drying, hygroscopic equilibrium and biochemical quality of Punica granatum legrelliae’s flowers
Get PDFPunica granatum Legrelliae is a valuable medicinal plant that is widely planted in Morocco. The equilibrium moisture content was investigated. Peleg model was found the most suitable to describe the sorption phenomenon. The drying kinetic of Punica granatum Legrelliae’s flowers was investigated by using a convection solar dryer. Midilli-Kucuk model described well the drying curves’ trend. The effective moisture diffusivity values were obtained. The Arrhenius relation, with an activation energy value of 92.91 kJ.mol-1 expressed the temperature effect on the diffusion coefficient. Finally, the effect of drying these flowers at different temperatures on their quality was investigated. To assess the quality of the product after solar drying; the color, polyphenols content, antioxidant activity, and polyphenoloxydase and peroxydase activities were considered. 40 °C was the best drying temperature for the preservation of color and bioactive molecules with antioxidant property
