Hydrothermal carbonization of sewage sludge: char characterization and reference to international legislations
(ECI conference, 2017)The aim of this work is to apply Hydrothermal Carbonisation (HTC) to different kinds of sludge such as thickened sludge, digested sludge and dewatered sludge, and compare the composition of the solid produced by the process, ... -
Influence of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on the growth and quality of strawberries
(miCROPE, 2017)Several studies have shown the benefits of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on plant mineral nutrition suggesting their application as biofertilizers. PGPR can stimulate plant growth, increase plant resistance ... -
Peach rootstock tolerance to excess zinc in sandy acidic soil
(ISHS, 2017)In some areas dedicated to the cultivation of peach plants, soils are characterized by high levels of zinc (Zn) as a consequence of successive applications of Zn-containing fungicides and/or of animal manure as fertilizers. ... -
Photosynthesis and growth of young grapevines intercropped with native grasses in soils contaminated with copper
(ISHS, 2017)High copper (Cu) contents in vineyard soils characterized by long-term use of Cu-containing fungicides may cause physiological and nutritional disorders in young grapevines, limiting plant growth and sometimes compromising ... -
Grass biomass for energy use: experimental study and analytical model on the characterization of torrefaction and pyrolysis
(University of Florence, 2012)The aim of the present work is the characterization of torrefaction and pyrolysis carried out on common reeds (Phragmites australis), using advanced analytical techniques and kinetic modeling. Simultaneous thermogravimetric ... -
How do plants - having different exudation patterns - shape a similar microbial community?
(2016)Microorganisms associated with plants have been shown to improve plant growth and yield participating in the biogeochemical cycles of elements in soil. For these reasons, the rhizosphere microbiome is considered one of the ...
