Effects of Organic Farming on the Physicochemical, Functional, and Quality Properties of Pomegranate Fruit: A Review

In this review, a selection of studies was carried out that evaluated the influence organic agronomic practices on cultivation pomegranate; specifically, these improving soil health and pomegranate fruit quality. Studies were selected (n = 39) in which treatments applied to different cultivars quality parameters. These showed exclusively manure combination with mineral fertilizers are suitable fulfill requirements crop reduce amount fertilizers. Moreover, improved manures, as well growth, yield crop. Pomegranate fruits grown under conditions high levels parameters, such total soluble solids juice, additionally presented concentrations bioactive compounds anthocyanins phenols. Data from endorsed fact pomegranates cultured may have better nutraceutical content than those conventional conditions, although more scientific evidence is required confirm this.
