Recently, the use of biostimulants as natural and eco-friendly fertilizers has received increasing attention because of their efficiency in terms of improving crops’ qualitative and quantitative parameters, i.e., growth, yield, and chemical composition. We studied the effect of four biostimulants—humic acid (20 g/L), vermicompost tea (15 mL/L), moringa leaf extract (1:30 v/v), and yeast extract (5 g/L), with tap water as a control treatment—on the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of snap beans. The experiment was designed using a complete randomized block with triplicates. The results showed a significant improvement in treated plant performance (growth and yield), chlorophyll, and chemical composition compared to untreated plants. Using moringa leaf extract increased the plant height, number of leaves and branches/plant, and fresh and dry weight. Additionally, the diameter of the treated plant stems and the quality of the crop and pods were also significantly higher than those of plants treated with vermicompost or humic acid extract. It is also noted that the profile of amino acids was improved using all tested biostimulants. This leads to the conclusion that the addition of moringa leaf extract and vermicompost tea not only positively affects the qualitative and quantitative properties of snap bean but is also reflected in its nutritional value as a plant-based food.

Background: The nutritional therapy management of diabetes mellitus patient lies in the proper diet and food selection arrangement. There is an eating recomendation (3 times for main food and 3 times of snackfood) that needed to be noted. One of the snack food that been allowed is brownie, as baked product and cake category. Modification on brownie recipe are needed to improve quality of the food. Objective: To understand a brownie recipe as snack food for diabetes mellitus patient based on physical quality, organoleptic quality, nutritional value and fiber content. Methods: The type of this research is an artificial experiment. The variables were modified brownie recipes; physical quality; organoleptic quality to colour, flavor, aroma, and texture; nutritional value, and fiber content. The subject of the study are 36 people with diabetes and 17 expert panelists. The object of this research is 3 kinds of brownie (red bean brownie, green bean brownie and peanut brownie). This research is conducted at Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta and Prolanis Organization in Puskemas Gamping 1 area, Sleman, Yogyakarta on February-September 2016. The data analysis of this research is done descriptively and analytically. Results: There is 3 brownie as modification results (green bean brownie, red bean brownie and peanut brownie). Those brownie have physical traits such as darker brown in colour, little bit sweet, have nutty flour aroma and little bit soft as a texture. Based on organoleptic quality, peanut brownie is the most preferred brownie. Based on analysis of chemical nutrition and fiber. Brownies tahat qualify the diet of people with diabetes mellitus is peanut brownie. Peanut brownie also been accepted by diabetes mellitus patient. Conclusion: Peanut brownie as modification results choosen as snack food alternatives for diabetes mellitus patient.

The study was conducted in 2015–2017 to assess the influence of rootstocks on the growth and fruiting of apple trees of cv.‘Šampion’ cultivated on rootstocks M26, P2. M9, and P22 with the following treatments: mineral fertilization (NPK), nano-concentrations of elements (Fe, Co, Al, Mg, Mn, Ni, Ag), natural chicken manure fertiliser, humus, microbial product, plant amino acids, and stillage yeasts. ‘Šampion’ apple trees grew vigorously on rootstocks M26 and P2 when humus and microbiological biostimulants were applied, especially in terms of the shoot diameter and TCSA. The best fruit yield and quality parameters were obtained in apple trees growing on rootstocks M9 and M26 fertilised with microbiological biostimulants and formulations containing plant amino acids. Apples with the highest concentration of nutrients, in particular minerals, were harvested from trees growing on rootstocks M9 and P22 and stimulated with nanoparticle mineral preparations and humus formulations.

Effect of Nitrogen Fertilization on Yield and Quality of EndiveThe aim of the experiments carried out in 2007-2008 was to assess the effect of various nitrogen doses on the growth, yield and nutritional value of two endive cultivars Cigal and Excel. The effects of two types of fertilizers were compared: that of ammonium nitrate with that of the product Entec-26. On the basis of the results obtained, it was shown that endive cv. Excel produced a marketable yield that was on average by 35.5% higher than that of the cultivar Cigal. A significantly higher marketable yield of endive was obtained by fertilizing with a single dose of the fertilizer Entec-26, particularly at the rates of 90 and 135 kg N·ha-1, and also 180 kg N·ha-1. The experiments also revealed a significant effect of the fertilization method and nitrogen application rate on the biological value of the endive cultivars under evaluation. The cultivar Excel was characterized by a higher degree of nitrate accumulation, whereas the cultivar Cigal had a higher vitamin C content, dry weight, and chlorophyll content.
