| In the organic production only organic fertilizers can be used to supply the soil with nitrogen. The mineralization of these products is slow causing a problem with the nitrogen supply when the demands of the plants is high. Italy is the main producer of organic apples in Europe (about 42,000 MT on 115,000 MT in 2006). More then 60% of the organic apples produced in Italy are grown in Alto Adige region (North-East of Italy). In this region problems with nitrogen supply to apple plants in spring are common. In spring the demand of nitrogen of the apple trees in Alto Adige is high, but the weather conditions are often bad and the temperature of the soil is slow. In these conditions the mineralization of the organic fertilizers starts slowly, the trees own... |

| In order to evaluate the effects of short, compared to medium or long distribution chains, on some quality parameters of organically grown fresh tomatoes, a post-harvest experiment was carried out by reproducing in the lab the most common temperature, relative humidity conditions and storage-transport times occurring in the real distribution chain of organic horticultural fresh products. Organically grown tomatoes of the cv. Nerina harvested at three different ripening stages (mature green, turning, red) were subjected to conditions corresponding to a short (1 day at room temperature), a medium (cold storage for 2 days, followed by ripening at room temperature) and a long distribution chain (cold storage for 6 or 9 days, followed by ripening at room... |
