Among the many inputs, nitrogen fertilizers are the main yield-limiting factor in agriculture. Liquid fractions of digestates can be a most promising substitute to synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, using little energy to turn waste into valuable fertilizers. In this study, the efficacy of five digestates from different origin (C, cow slurry; P, pig s...
Cut peonies have limited time during which they can be harvested and commercialized. Interest in extending this period through long-term storage, both in dry and wet conditions, to obtain more profits is constantly growing. Sixty cut peony stems (cv. Alertie) were pulse-treated 24 h after harvest with 10 μM thidiazuron, 500 μL L-1 1-methylcycloprop...
Introduction
Appropriate postharvest treatment, as well as adequate conditions of storage, can be adopted to elongate the lifespan of cut flowers. Thidiazuron (TDZ), a substituted phenylurea, and 1-methylcycloproene (1-MCP), a non-toxic inhibitor of ethylene perception, are nowadays substances commonly used to prevent early damage caused by senesce...

These species can accumulate high levels of nitrates; for this reason, the control of growing conditions is a crucial factor for limiting their content, especially in protected cultivations. Th...
