CARBON TO NITROGEN RATIO AND QUANTITY OF ORGANIC AMENDMENT INTERACTIVELY AFFECT CROP GROWTH AND SOIL MINERAL N RETENTION

Carbon to nitrogen ratio and quantity of organic amendment interactively affect crop growth and soil mineral N retention

Using organic amendments to improve arable soils in the long term is a careful balancing act of In-Ear applying amendments with the right carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N ratio) at adequate quantity to avoid nitrogen (N) leaching while promoting or retaining crop growth in the short term.So far, most studies examining the relationship between C:N rati

Fruit and Vegetable By-Products to Fortify Spreadable Cheese

In this work, spreadable cheese was CED Player enriched with flours from by-products (red and white grape pomace, tomato peel, broccoli, corn bran, and artichokes) as sources of fibres and antioxidant compounds.The physicochemical and the sensory properties of all the cheese samples were analysed.Results revealed that total phenolic content, flavon
