“…The existing literature explores the environmental aspects, for example, soil texture [35], and social and economic facets [36] of climate change sensitivity alike. One key takeaway from existing research is that the climate sensitivity of certain crops, or even crop varieties, significantly differs [37][38][39]. Thus, crop structure fundamentally affects the climate sensitivity of agriculture in different regions [40].…”

This paper aims to analyze comprehensively the climate exposure, sensitivity, perception, adaptive capacity, vulnerability, and resilience of the Hungarian agricultural sector, particularly focusing on fruit, vegetable, and grape producers. Four distinct Hungarian case studies were examined, representing different regions with diverse environmental and socioeconomic conditions. The research combined quantitative and qualitative methods, including statistical and GIS analysis of climate, agricultural, and socioeconomic data, as well as field research and semi-structured interviews. The study investigated exposure, sensitivity, perception, and adaptation, leading to the identification of key components and influencing factors. Qualitative research revealed that farms operating in geographically close proximity, in the same regulatory and support environment, can have different adaptive capacities. In the current state of the adaptation process, the extent to which farmers can rely on supportive professional networks and seek out and adopt new practices is crucial. Field experience suggests that without a strong and supportive producer organization (extension network), farmers may prefer to resort to extensification (afforestation) to mitigate production risks. From a development policy perspective, it is worthwhile to present good practices and provide information on possible adaptation techniques through existing local sectoral organizations.

The rootstock ‘Rootpac R’ is not used for apricots. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of ‘Rootpac R’ in comparison to the widely used ‘Myrobalan 29C’ rootstock. The evaluation of the rootstocks was conducted in combination with 16 scion cultivars to assess their effects on vegetative traits and mortality. The total height of the trees on ‘Rootpac R’ initially surpassed the ‘Myrobalan 29C’ trees. By the end of the fourth year, both rootstocks showed comparable heights with ‘Rootpac R’ standing at 317 cm and ‘Myrobalan 29C’ standing at 307 cm. Both rootstocks exhibited comparable TCSA values of 5 cm2 initially; ‘Rootpac R’ surpassed 35% compared to ‘Myrobalan 29C’. Canopy space occupancy assessments revealed that ‘Rootpac R’ initially demonstrated superior space utilization, occupying 8% of the designated volume compared to 4% for ‘Myrobalan 29C’. By the fourth year, ‘Rootpac R’ exhibited a higher occupancy rate of 65% compared to 50% for ‘Myrobalan 29C’. For apricot cultivars, such as ‘Bergeron’, ‘C. óriás’, ‘Gönci magyarkajszi’, ‘Lady Cot’, ‘Tardif de Valance’, and ‘Tom Cot’, ‘Rootpac R’ exhibited survival rates beyond the fourth season, highlighting its effectiveness for these varieties. Based on these results, ‘Rootpac R’ rootstock could be useful in apricot growing.

“…Currently, the harvested quantity of dried walnuts with shells is 3.5 million tons globally ( FAO, 2023 ). In Hungary, the ecological demands of walnut are similar to wine grape ( Vitis vinifera L.) ( Nyitrainé Sárdy et al., 2022 ) and apricot ( Prunus armeniaca L.) ( Mendelné Pászti et al., 2023 ). The growing area doubled to 6,000 ha during the past three decades, and the production reached the 6,000 tons dried shelled nuts annually ( FAO, 2023 ).…”

Biostimulants have different effects on plants. The aim of this paper is to determine responses of the ‘Alsószentiváni 117’ walnut cultivar on foliar applications of different biostimulants (Wuxal Ascofol, Kondisol, Alga K Plus). The nut traits (nut length, nut diameter, nut weight, kernel weight) and some phenolic compounds of the kernel were measured and detected. In 2020, during warmer early spring weather conditions under pistillate flowering receptivity, chlorogenic acid and quercetin content of kernels treated with Kondisol were higher than in control. All biostimulants influenced positive effects on catechin and rutin content, as well as treatments made with Wuxal Ascofol and Kondisol increased the juglon content of the kernel. In 2021, when the spring weather was typical for that period, only the Kondisol treatments had increasing effects on the catechin and chlorogenic acid content, than the control. The rutin and quercetin concentrations reached the highest value in this trial by Alga K Plus applications. The juglon content decreased in this year compared to the control. The pirocathecin, cinnamic acid, and gallic acid (except Wuxal Ascofol treatment in 2021) content decreased in all treatments in both observed years. Responses of woody fruit species on biostimulants applications depend on the weather conditions. Biostimulants had positive effects on the nut size characteristics in both observed years.
