“…Organic fertilizer treatments significantly improved soil respiration CO 2 by 15-fold, from 3.17 to 45.6 mg·l -1 , at the end of the study period (Table 3). In addition, mean maximum and minimum temperatures from Jan. -March 2015 was lower than in 2016 ( Globe artichoke is a rich source of phenolic compounds which have been used for therapeutic effects (Ciancolini et al, 2013). In this study, artichoke heads from the organic site had higher concentration of chlorogenic acid and cynarin than the conventional site.…”

Soil amendment using organic fertilizer has been used widely to dispose animal waste, reduce environmental pollution and improve soil and fruit quality. The objective of this two-year study was to assess the influence of organic and conventional systems on growth, marketable yield, head quality (chlorogenic acid and cynarin concentration) and soil chemical properties of globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus). Cultivars used were Deserto, Lulu, Romolo, 11-018, 12-179, Green Globe Improved and Imperial Star. Fertilizers were applied to both conventional and organic soil through drip irrigation system. In both years, significant differences were found across cultivars and soil type. Although cultivar response to soil system treatments were inconsistent across the two growing seasons, the cv. Imperial Star had the lowest marketable yield and head quality. Artichoke grown in the conventional field had higher plant height and width, chlorophyll content index (SPAD), leaf area index (LAI), stomatal conductance (gs), photosynthesis (Pn) and marketable yield. Conversely, artichoke head quality from the organic field was higher than conventional. Organic system increased chlorogenic acid by 31% and cynarin by 12% compared to the conventional system. In fact, after two years of soil amendment, organic fertilizer improved soil respiration-CO 2 (soil health indicator) by 20-fold compared to chemical fertilizer (conventional field). Overall, based on this two-year study we suggest organic farming as the best system to improve soil and head quality of globe artichoke, but it may not be the best option for farmers when yield is the primary target short-term.

“…Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus) is a high valuable crop and rich source of antioxidant compounds such as dicaffeoylquinic acids, cynarin and phenolic acids, which are known to be beneficial for human health (Ciancolini et al, 2013;Moglia et al, 2008).…”

“…scolymus (L.) Fiori] is a diploid species (2n = 2x = 34), traditionally grown for its immature flower-heads and used in dishes across the Mediterranean region [1,2]. More recently, the globe artichoke has also attracted attention due to its potential as a biomass crop [3,4] and for its nutraceutical content [5,6]. As of 2013, global artichoke production was 1793 Mt of heads over an area of 130,676 ha [7].…”

Ten Italian globe artichoke clones belonging to the Romanesco typology were characterized in the western coastal area of Italy (Cerveteri, Rome), using a combination of morphological (UPOV descriptors), biochemical (HPLC analysis), and molecular (AFLP, ISSR, and SSR markers) traits. Significant differences among clones were found for many of the quantitative and qualitative morphological traits. Multivariate analyses (Principal Component Analysis) showed that, of the 47 morphological descriptors assessed, four (i.e., plant height, central flower-head weight, earliness, and total flower-head weight) presented a clear grouping of the clones. Biochemical analyses showed that the clones significantly differed in the polyphenolic profiles of the flower-head, with the suggestion that some of these, such as S2, S3, S5, and S18, are more suitable for the fresh market. The clones, clustered by a UPGMA dendrogram based on 393 polymorphic AFLP and ISSR loci, showed that the clones were genetically separated from each other. This highlights the importance of characterizing, evaluating, and conserving autochthonous germplasm for future plant breeding activities. Overall, these studies resulted in the identification of two new clones, selected on the basis of flower-head morphology and earliness. These clones, named Michelangelo and Raffaello, are registered on the Italian National Register of Varieties (DM n. 6135, 3/29/2013 G.U. 91, 18 April 2013).
