“…Dough rising and quality are affected by the composition of glutenins, especially HMW glutenins (Goesaert et al, 2005). application of copper, zinc and manganese Differences in grain quality may result from the genetic properties of the variety, habitat conditions and agrotechnology applied (Podolska, 2008;Cazzato et al, 2013). Compared to bread wheat, spelt grain contains more iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, potassium, sodium and selenium (Ruibal-Mendieta et al, 2005).…”

The research determined crop yield, content of mineral nutrients (Cu, Zn, Mn and Fe), protein and its composition in the grain of the spelt variety 'Schwabenkorn' as affected by the foliar application of micronutrients. A field experiment was carried out during 2011-2013 at the Research Station in Tomaszkowo (53°72 N, 20°42 E), Poland. Cu, Zn and Mn and microelements together (Cu + Zn + Mn) with mineral fertilisers were applied. Nitrogen (N) was applied to all the plots in a dose of 90 kg ha -1 , triple superphosphate in a dose corresponding to 30.2 kg ha -1 P, and potassium salt in a dose of 83.1 kg ha -1 K. Copper (1.0% solution of CuSO 4 × 5H 2 O), zinc (1.0% solution of ZnSO 4 × 7H 2 O) and manganese (0.5% solution of MnSO 4 × 5H 2 O) were foliar-applied as water solutions at the stem elongation stage. The mineral fertilisation, including micronutrients (individually or in combination), changed the contents of mineral nutrients, protein and the composition of its individual fractions in the grain. It was observed that the grain had high Cu, Mn and Fe content. The application of Mn, as well as micronutrients used in combination (Cu + Zn + Mn) as an addition to NPK fertilisation, increased the content of Fe, Zn and Mn in spelt grain. The application of Zn increased Fe and Zn content, while the application of Cu increased the content of Mn in grain. The total protein content in spelt ranged from 12.4% to 13.5%. Storage proteins proved to have the highest share in the total protein. Additional application of Cu, Zn and micronutrients in combination had a positive impact on the gliadins:glutenins ratio. Foliar application of Mn increased the content of ω, α/β, γ gliadins, and reduced that of low molecular weight glutenins. Foliar spraying with Cu reduced the content of α/β and ω gliadins. Supply of Zn decreased α/β content and increased the content of the high molecular weight glutenins fractions. The application of the micronutrients in combination reduced the content gliadin γ and increased the content of high molecular weight and low molecular weight glutenins. The cultivation year was a significantly differentiating factor for the grain yield, mineral nutrient content (Fe, Zn and Mn) and the content and composition of protein fractions (with the exception of high molecular weight glutenins).

“…It is supposed that straw could have been used for the winter feeding of livestock, but the forage quality of T. dicoccum straw, and the possible consequences for its use in livestock feeding in prehistory has not, according to the literature, been evaluated. Recently, T. dicoccum has been investigated as an alternative forage crop harvested as green fodder in dry Mediterranean regions with a shortage of high-quality forage (Cazzato et al 2013). Triticum dicoccum is a hulled (glume) wheat, and post-harvest processing (dehusking) is necessary to obtain clean grain without glumes (Hillman 1984;Peña-Chocarro, Zapata 2003).…”

“…The CP content is often considered as the most important component of forage quality (Lithourgidis et al, 2007;Cazzato et al, 2012), and CP yield (based on forage CP content and total DM produced) is a valuable measure of the total protein that can be harvested for livestock enterprises (Caballero et al, 1995;Cazzato et al, 2013). Our results showed that CP values enhanced with the seeding proportion of narbon bean in the intercrops (Sadeghpour et al, 2014).…”

The demand of vegetable protein for animal feed and the need to diversify the crop rotation in rainfed Mediterranean climates has led to study the viability as new forage crop of the Vicia narbonensis-Avena strigosa mixture. Therefore, a 3-year field trial was conducted at two different and representative locations of the area to evaluate the capacity of both species to form a balanced mixture and to define its potential for high yield and forage quality. Different seeding ratios (65:35, 50:50 and 35:65) were compared with their pure stands and the standard mixture Avena sativa-Vicia sativa (65:35). Forage mixtures establishment and growth varied according to the environmental conditions with a negative influence of a dry year 1 for legumes (<300 mm) and a wet year 2 for oats (>630 mm). However, competition ratio indicated that there were not significant differences between mixed treatments, displaying intermediate ground coverage values, dry matter yield and crude protein regarding pure stands. Higher dry matter yield than control mixture in addition to similar crude protein, acid-detergent fibre, neutral-detergent fibre and digestible dry matter values, were produced at 35:65 in dry years and 65:35 and 50:50 in rainy years with loamy and clay soils, respectively. The appropriate development of both species in the mixture at different soil and rainfall conditions, as well as a good yield often higher than control mixture and a great forage quality, confirm to the narbon bean-black oat mixture as a viable and profitable crop alternative in rainfed cropping systems under Mediterranean conditions.
