“…Pre- and post-harvest diseases of fruits resulting from microbial pathogens result in significant economic losses. Similar to reports in other fruit crops ( Meng et al, 2012 ; Claire et al, 2018 ), cultivation of kiwifruit under a RS system effectively reduced the level of plant disease, relative to OF cultivation. While air pollutants are spread by wind, they are often deposited on plants and the soil surface by rainfall, which may directly or indirectly increase the incidence of both foliar and soilborne diseases ( Dimabuyu et al, 2016 ).…”

“… Meng et al (2012) reported that RS cultivation significantly reduced the incidence of grape diseases, delayed fruit ripening, and promoted the accumulation of quercetin-3-O-glucose-7-O-rhamnoside in grape skin peels during grape ripening. Claire et al (2018) also found that RS cultivation reduced the level of fruit rot in strawberries. In the present study, RS cultivation was used to reduce the occurrence of kiwifruit natural disease and to explore the impact of RS cultivation on the microbiome of kiwifruit.…”

The composition of microbial communities can directly affect fruit quality, health status, and storability. The present study characterized the epiphytes and endophytes of “Hongyang” and “Cuiyu” kiwifruit at harvest under grown under open-field (OF) and rain-shelter (RS) cultivation systems. Disease incidence in kiwifruit was significantly lower (p < 0.05) under the RS system than it was under the OF system. High-throughput sequencing [16S V3-V4 ribosomal region and the fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS2)] was conducted to compare the composition of the epiphytic and endophytic microbial community of kiwifruit under the two cultivation systems. Results indicated that the abundance of Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Enterobacteriales, Acetobacterales, Sphingomonas, Pseudomonas, and Sphingobacterium was higher under the RS system, relative to the OF system, while the abundance of Capnodiales, Hypocreales, Vishniacozyma, and Plectosphaerella was also higher under the RS system. Some of these bacterial and fungal taxa have been reported to as act as biocontrol agents and reduce disease incidence. Notably, the α-diversity of the epiphytic bacterial and fungal communities on kiwifruit was higher under RS cultivation. In summary, RS cultivation reduced natural disease incidence in kiwifruit, which may be partially attributed to differences in the structure and composition of the microbial community present in and on kiwifruit.

“…Moreover, the greenhouse environment can be easily controlled with the required water vapor, CO 2 concentration, and airflow conditions [14,15]. Consequently, an extension of the harvesting period and fruit quality improvement are observed [16]. The technology of soilless cultivation attracts producers due to easier fertility control, the possibility of increasing plant density and yield, a decrease in diseases and pests, and the increment in the product quantity and quality [17].…”

Physiological, Biochemical, and Biometrical Response of Cultivated Strawberry and Wild Strawberry in Greenhouse Gutter Cultivation in the Autumn-Winter Season in Poland—Preliminary Study

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Strawberry and wild strawberry are among the most popular horticultural crops. Due to the development of soilless cultivation systems, the whole-year production of these economically important fruit crops is achievable even in countries with temperate climate. However, the responses of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) and wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) to microclimate conditions in greenhouse gutter cultivation in the autumn–winter season in Poland have not been yet determined. The aim of this study was to analyze the physiological, biochemical, and biometrical responses of two cultivars of strawberry ‘Ostara’ and ‘San Andreas’ and two cultivars of wild strawberry ‘Baron von Solemacher’ and ‘Regina’ grown for 20 weeks, starting from September 17th, in controlled greenhouse conditions on coconut mats in gutters in the autumn–winter season and irradiated with sodium lamps. Strawberry ‘San Andreas’ produced 30% larger leaves and almost three-fold higher fresh and dry weight of biomass than ‘Ostara’. The strawberry plants ‘San Andreas’ had a higher content (20%) of chlorophyll a and 30% of chlorophyll b than ‘Ostara’ plants. Generally, ‘San Andreas’ displayed an overall higher concentration of intercellular CO2 (about 14%) than ‘Ostara’ plants providing higher gas exchange processes. Photosynthetic rate amounted to 13.0 μmol·m−2·s−1 for ‘San Andreas’ that was almost two-fold higher than for ‘Ostara’. ‘San Andreas’ flower and fruit productions were uniform and the six-fold higher individual fruit yield proved the excellent attributes of this cultivar to the greenhouse cultivation. Even though the productivity of the two studied wild strawberry cultivars was similar, ‘Regina’ showed higher values of some parameters than ‘Baron von Solemacher’ (40% larger leaves, 25% higher photosynthetic rate, 10% higher concentration of intercellular CO2). A high nutritional value of fruits is maintained compared to traditional open-air cultivation.

“…Nowadays, the universal medium can be basically divided into two types: liquid culture medium and solid culture medium. For example, Claire et al [8] used pine bark as a soilless cultivation substrate, which can make strawberries grow normally. Lei et al [9] adopted hydroponic long-grass soilless culture substrate to make rice not reduce yield but reduce the amount of organic substrates in plant growth.…”

The mechanical and ultraviolet aging properties of needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles made with recycled fibers

There are more and more waste textiles in modern times while the recycling efficiency is relatively low. In order to increase the recycling of waste textiles, this paper proposes a kind of low-cost, environmental protection, good permeability, tough and anti-aging substrate geotextile which can replace the riparian soil to support normal growth of plants. First of all, the fiber web was formed by waste fibers (polyester 78 wt%, cotton 20 wt%, others 2 wt%) after carding and reinforcing with different needling parameters. The comprehensive properties of designed nonwoven geotextiles were estimated via a series of tests such as tensile, bursting, air permeability, morphology, thermal stability and porosity. Moreover, the ultraviolet-aging tests were also conducted with both an accelerating aging box and natural aging methods to assess the possibility of outdoor-usage as plant blanket. The comprehensive assessment of results has shown that the optimum processing parameter was the needle depth of 12 mm combined with the needling frequency of 700 times/min. The ultraviolet-aging results have revealed that manufactured geotextiles have comparatively good anti-aging performance, which is suitable for long-term exposure outside. This result of this research provides a feasible and convenient application field for recycled textiles.
