Weed management is critical in hazelnut (Corylus avellana) production. Weeds reduce nutrient availability, interfere with tree growth, and reduce handharvesting efficiency. Field experiments were conducted from Fall 2006 to 2010 to test effects of brassica (Brassica sp.) cover crops and hazelnut husk mulch as alternative weed management strategies in hazelnut. The cover crop treatments consiste...

Many non-conventional adsorbent have been studied as economic alternative to commercial activated carbon and mostly agricultural waste have been introduced such as rubber leaf powder and hazelnut shell. Microwave Incinerated Rice Husk Ash (MIRHA), produced from the rice husk is one of the low-cost materials that were used as adsorbent of heavy metal. The aim of this research was to study the fe...

this paper deals with the suitability of agricultural and municipal organic wastes as growing media components for ornamental plants. nine growing media prepared by mixing the main components of peat (p), hazelnut husk (h) and maize straw (m) with the fertilizer sources of municipal solid waste compost (c), bio-solid (b) and poultry manure (pm) were compared against soil-based (c1) and peat-bas...

Hazelnut husk brown rot has been identified as a new disease in Liaoning Province recent years. The objective of this study to identify the pathogen. [Method] In study, standard sample hazelnut was collected from Songmudao Base Dalian City, Province. pathogen by studies morphology, pathogenicity, and analyses ITS LSU sequences. isolated purified, which confirmed Koch’s postulates. symptoms afte...

Aim. Previous studies have shown a higher sensitization rate to hazelnut in processing workers but no relation was found between the respiratory symptoms in workplace and hazelnut sensitization. Material and Method. To evaluate the association between the hazelnut sensitization and workplace-related respiratory complaints, hazelnut processing workers had undergone a questionnaire included work-...

BACKGROUND Hazelnut allergy can be a consequence of sensitization to cross-reactive pollen, especially from the Fagales family. However, severe allergic reactions after ingestion of hazelnuts without associated pollen allergy have been reported. In these cases, oral sensitization by hazelnut ingestion is plausible. OBJECTIVE We have reported that antiulcer drugs promote oral sensitization to ...

Literature about the value of diagnostic tests for hazelnut allergy in children is scarce. For peanut allergy cutoff levels of specific IgE with a 95% positive predictive value (PPV) were published. To evaluate current diagnostics for hazelnut allergy in children, data of 151 children, who underwent a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) for hazelnut were analyzed. The PPV or...

Background Hazelnut-allergic children express variable clinical phenotypes. Tests for the diagnosis of hazelnut allergy are usually conducted on children presenting clinical symptoms following hazelnut ingestion, but also as screening tests after the discovery of a food allergy, mainly to tree nut or peanut. It is important to determine if molecular allergens could be markers of severity in haz...
