Growth and Antioxidant Responses of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) to Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Inoculation and Seaweed Extract Foliar Application

Farzad Rasouli et al.

Summary: The study found that the co-application of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and seaweed extract (SWE) can promote the growth and antioxidant potential of lettuce plants. The co-application resulted in the highest growth parameters and biochemical traits, as well as increased total antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid, total phenolics, and flavonoids content compared to the control.

Organic fertilizers in greenhouse production systems - a review

Karl-Johan Bergstrand

Summary: From a sustainability perspective, there is a strong argument for nutrient recycling within society, particularly in agriculture and horticulture, which involves the use of organic nutrient sources. Greenhouse horticulture differs from open field agriculture in terms of nutrient supply, leading to a need for alternative nutrient sources.

Perspective: Characterization of Dietary Supplements Containing Calcium and Magnesium and Their Respective Ratio-Is a Rising Ratio a Cause for Concern?

Rebecca B. Costello et al.

Summary: The balance between low magnesium intake and high calcium intake has been associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. A Ca:Mg ratio range of 1.70-2.60 is considered optimal, yet the average ratio for US adults exceeds 3.00. Some individuals may benefit from magnesium supplementation to maintain a favorable dietary Ca:Mg ratio.

Digestate Application on Two Different Soils: Agricultural Benefit and Risk

Maria Rosaria Panuccio et al.

Summary: The study found that neutral soil and alkaline soil responded differently to solid and liquid fractions of digestate, depending mainly on soil characteristics. Solid fraction was more effective in improving soil quality and microbial biomass carbon, and had more agricultural and environmental advantages than liquid fraction.

Favoring plant instead of animal protein sources: Legitimation by authority, morality, rationality and story logic

Joop de Boer et al.

Summary: The shift towards a more healthy and sustainable diet is hindered by the persistent preference for meat. Without broad social legitimization aimed at changing social norms, proposals for a diet shift will not be successful. It is necessary to limit animal protein sources and promote plant protein sources as a preferred alternative, with the pace of progress depending on various societal forces.

Using Digestate as Fertilizer for a Sustainable Tomato Cultivation

Maria Rosaria Panuccio et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the two digestates had different effects on tomato production, with the type of solid fraction being more influential than concentration. The liquid fractions' effectiveness was largely dependent on concentrations rather than the type of digestate used. The nutritional values of tomatoes were positively affected by both digestates, enhancing health-promoting compounds in the fruits.

The Role of Vitamin C in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: A Literature Review

Marcelo Villagran et al.

Summary: Vitamin C plays a significant role in cancer prevention and treatment, with studies showing its potential benefits in preventing pulmonary and breast cancer, as well as its synergistic effects with pancreatic cancer drugs. However, a Mendelian randomized study did not find an association between vitamin C and cancer prevention. Ongoing research is needed to further explore the therapeutic role of vitamin C in cancer through new phase II and III clinical trials.

Comparative Metabolite Profile, Biological Activity and Overall Quality of Three Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., Asteraceae) Cultivars in Response to Sulfur Nutrition

Muna Ali Abdalla et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of sulfur (S) nutrition on hydroponically grown lettuce cultivars, finding significant differences in growth, quality, secondary metabolites, and antibacterial activity among different sulfur treatments and lettuce cultivars. The judicious application of S was shown to play a critical role in plant growth, acclimation, and nutritional quality, with potential applications as a promising antimicrobial prototype for medical use.

Soil Health and Nutrient Density: Beyond Organic vs. Conventional Farming

David R. Montgomery et al.

Summary: The controversy over nutritional differences between organic and conventional crops stems from differing definitions of nutrients, with conventional agriculture focusing on essential dietary constituents while a broader definition includes compounds beneficial for health. Soil health plays a crucial role in influencing nutrient density, with organic farming enhancing soil health and conventional practices degrading it. Differences between organic and conventional crops include pesticide levels and phytochemical content, with the latter showing health-protective properties.
