Timing field production in a germplasm collection of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L. )
No full textOne hundred and eight accessions of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) were grown at Gaudiano in the Ofanto river Valley (Southern Italy) in order to analyse the yield variability and to get more information about harvesting time in this new growing area. Picking date of the main heads, harvesting period the mean time of production for each accessions were recorded. Harvesting consisted of two to six cropping by hands. It began in October-November (‘Blanco’, ‘Di ogni mese’, ‘Siracusano’, ‘Violetto di Catania’, ‘Locale di Mola’, ‘Catanese I’, ‘EB 9’, ‘CB 07’, ‘Violetto di Provenza’, ‘Di Niscemi’ and ‘Violetto precoce’) continues through March-April (about 54% of accessions) and stopped at the end of May (‘Violet de Camargue’). Peak production took place from April to mid-May. The harvesting period, as average among all accessions, resulted of 50 days and varied from only 7 days in ‘Violetto spinoso’ to 201 in ‘Blanco’. About 36% of accessions gave the yield in 14–28 days interval, 29% of them in 28–42 days, in the others the period was longer than 6 weeks

No full textAlimurgic plants are wild plants that can be used for food supply in case of need and the phytoalimurgy study this group of plants. In the past, especially in famine times, they have been an important food source for people. Beside their emergency as food, these edible wild plants have a great historical and cultural heritage that needs to be well known, preserved and recovered having a real function for improving agro-biodiversity as new vegetable crop species.
Prickly goldenfleece [Urospermum picroides (L.) F.W. Schmidt] is an alimurgic plant, growing spontaneously in Southern Italy, of which the basal leaves of the young plants are used as food, fresh or previously cooked in many different dishes.
Botanically, prickly goldenfleece is an annual plant, belonging to the Asteraceae family. Young leaves, variously shaped and, often, presenting lobes having sharp-toothed margins are green with pale purple veins. Flower heads produce infructescences with many achenes insides, which are tipped with a pappus of bristles.
This paper reports the first results of a study on achenes observations and attempts for the characterization of the young prickly goldenfleece plants as a leaf vegetable crop. In particular, in 2011 summer wild prickly goldenfleece mature infructescences samples were collected in open field in Putignano area (Apulia Region, Southern Italy).
In the University of Basilicata Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Environmental Science Vegetables and Floriculture Laboratory, achenes were extract from the infructescences heads and subdivided in darks and clears, and then dried at constant weight in a ventilated oven. After, 1,000 achenes weight and germination tests were carried out for each achenes group. In the same area in which the infructescences were collected, on September 29th and November 18th 2011, using dark achenes only, two sowings in open field were done in single rows on a well prepared soil. Emergence data and some plantlets traits were recorded during growth cycle and at harvest more parameters were considered for a better characterization of this potential new leaf vegetable crop
