“…Also, Sahin et al, (2015) revealed that, calcium and boron treatments increased both the yield and concentrations of Ca and B in tomato leaves. Also, Zoz et al, (2016) indicated that, Ca and B foliar application stimulates growth, fertilization of flowers, number of fertile tillers and gave higher grains yield of wheat plants. Likewise, Maji et al, (2017) concluded that, the combined foliar spray of calcium as calcium chloride at 5 % and boron as borax at 0.25% could be practiced for good vegetative growth, fruits yield and quality of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv.…”

to study the response of hot pepper plant (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Hot Chili growth, fruit setting, yield and some biochemical constituents linked with the yield and quality characteristics to foliar spraying with calcium chloride at 0, 1000 and 2000 ppm, boric acid at 0, 200 and 400 ppm and their combinations. Results indicated that all foliar applications of calcium chloride and boric acid treatments individual or in combination markedly increased the vegetative growth characteristics, fruit setting percentage and fruits yield of hot pepper plants. Foliar spraying with 2000 ppm of calcium chloride plus 200 or 400 ppm of boric acid treatments obviously gave the higher values of plant height, number of branches per plant, shoot fresh and dry weights, fruit setting, fruits yield/ plant and fruits yield/ feddan as well as total carotenoids, vitamin C and N, P and K concentrations compared to the check treatment in both tested seasons.

“…In our study, the application of cation nitrates led to a slightly positive response in grain yield of var. Vivendo despite a decrease in TKW, an effect probably due to improved spike and spikelet fertility with biofortification [58].…”

Common wheat grains are characterised by low concentrations of Ca, K, and Mg, which can be partially removed with the bran during milling processes. This preliminary study investigated the effects of foliar fertilisation at the earing stage with nitrates of Ca, Mg, and K contemporarily, together with a small amount of urea and protein hydrolysate as potential carriers, in two contrasting common wheat varieties, i.e., Solehio (medium proteins content) and Vivendo (high proteins content). Based on the preliminary grain-to-straw concentration ratio of these minerals, two biofortification targets were applied in order to increase their grain contents by +20% and +40%, in comparison with untreated controls. Here, we demonstrate that the highest fertilisation dose was effective in increasing grain K by 13% and Mg by 16% in Vivendo, and Ca by 7% in Solehio, with no boosting effects of the co-formulants urea and protein hydrolysate. In addition to some qualitative benefits due to nitrates supply, negligible phytotoxicity symptoms were observed, as revealed by the NDVI vegetational index dynamics. Although the biofortification target was not fully achieved, this study firstly reports the possibility to increase at the same time Mg and K, and to a lower extent Ca in wheat grains. It is concluded that efficient multiple biofortification should consider a variety-depend response, while further studies are necessary to investigate the effects of different fertilisation timings and doses for improving the poor mineral translocation to the grains.

“…Furthermore, Herath et al [22] recommended, in addition to basal lime application on pineapples, administering a calcium application six months after plantation (during the flowering stage) to improve the post-harvest quality and the product shelflife. Moreover, Zozo et al [23] showed that application of both calcium and boron sprays (the first at tillering and the second at early bloom) improves growth, flower fertilisation, and the number of fertile tillers of wheat plants, resulting in higher grain yield.…”

Towards Sustainable Organic Farming Systems

The European Union green deal has proposed the “organic farming action plan” to render a farming system that is more sustainable and adaptable in terms of climate change mitigation and thus enable meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). While this policy instrument is fundamental to achieving sustainable agriculture, there is still no agreement on what sustainable agriculture is and how to measure it. This opinion paper proposes an ecosystem-based framework for the crop life cycle to determine the balance between the economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainability toward supporting decision-making.
