Studies on Radicchio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four cultivars that had performed more favorably of several evaluated in 2000 Spring studies were compared on three plastic mulches and a bare ground control in Spring 2001. All cultivars performed similarly on the plastic, for the most part all performing better than on the bare ground. As in previous studies, the percentage of plants forming marketable was less than desirable, ranging from a low of 34% on bare ground to a high of 60% on silver mulch.

Relationships among radicchio (Cichorium intybus L.) types grown in Veneto and diversity between local varieties and selected lines as assessed by molecular markers
Red or variegated chicory (Cichorium intybus L., 2n=2x=18) native to, and very extensively cultivated in North-Eastern Italy as a leafy vegetable, locally called “radicchio”, includes different types which represent valuable high-quality crops. The five major types of radicchio cultivated in the Veneto region were investigated by PCR-derived molecular markers (e.g. RAPDs, AP-PCRs, I-SSRs and AF...
متن کاملAgricultural robot for radicchio harvesting
In the last few years, robotics has been increasingly adopted in agriculture to improve productivity and efficiency. This paper presents recent and current work at the Politecnico of Bari, in collaboration with the University of Lecce, in the field of agriculture robotics. A cost effective robotic arm is introduced for the harvesting of radicchio, which employs visual localization of the plants...
متن کاملAssessment and Use of Optical Oxygen Sensors as Tools to Assist in Optimal Product Component Selection for the Development of Packs of Ready-to-Eat Mixed Salads and for the Non-Destructive Monitoring of in-Pack Oxygen Levels Using Chilled Storage
Optical oxygen sensors were used to ascertain the level of oxygen consumed by individual salad leaves for optimised packaging of ready-to-eat (RTE) Italian salad mixes during refrigerated storage. Seven commonly found leaves in Italian salad mixes were individually assessed for oxygen utilisation in packs. Each leaf showed varying levels of respiration throughout storage. Using the information ...
متن کاملYersinia enterocolitica O:9 infections associated with bagged salad mix in Norway, February to April 2011.
In March 2011, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health identified a possible outbreak involving 21 cases of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 infection with similar MLVA-profiles. Preliminary results of epidemiological and microbiological investigations indicate bagged salad mix containing radicchio rosso (also known as Italian chicory) as a possible source. As a result of the investigation, bagged ...

In May 2014, a cluster of Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) O9 infections was reported from a military base in northern Norway. Concurrently, an increase in YE infections in civilians was observed in the Norwegian Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases. We investigated to ascertain the extent of the outbreak and identify the source in order to implement control measures. A case was defined as...
