The increasing interest in natural foods with functional effects demands progressively higher production levels. Nonetheless, there is an orientation towards practicing more sustainable agriculture, free from environmentally harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Plant biostimulants, a class of bio-based agriculture products designed to improve crop development, represent feasible alternative chem...

Hazelnuts are one of the most appreciated nuts worldwide due to their unique organoleptic and nutritional characteristics. The present work intended analyse several physical chemical properties different hazelnut varieties grown in Portugal, namely Tonda de Giffoni, Grada Viseu, Segorbe, Longa Espanha, Butler, Gunslebert, Negreta.

In the Republic of Croatia, hazel (Corylus avellana L.) is fruit species with largest recorded increase in cultivation. Due to its high content lipids and moisture (at time harvest) hazelnuts are susceptible quality deterioration (rancidity development, mycotoxins contamination etc.) therefore proper harvest post-harvest handling necessary preserve their quality. Hazelnuts most often collected ...

The objective of this study was to determine the susceptibility of the two primary direct insect pests of hazelnuts in Oregon to three species of entomopathogenic nematodes. The entomopathogenic nematodes (Heterorhabditis marelatus Pt. Reyes, Steinernema carpocapsae All and Steinernema kraussei L137) were used in laboratory soil bioassays to determine their virulence against filbertworm, Cydia ...

Material and Methods Specific IgE for 20 common foods in 432 Romanian adults were evaluatted by MAST in sera.
