Response of winter barley genotypes to Croatian environments — yield, quality and nutritional value

We studied the influence of humus and different norms of vermicompost on the yield, nutritional value, and antibacterial properties of common garlic (Allium sativum L.). The use of the vermicompost caused an increase in the garlic yield by 1.7-3.9 t ha-1 for cultivar "Prometei" compared to the control "Sofiiskyi" and by 2.2-5.2 t ha-1 in relation to the control of cultivar "Prometei". It was established that the calory content could increase up to 22.68 g 100 g1 of fresh weight with vermicompost manure 5 t ha-1, and the total content of sugar is increasing by 21.52-40.81% depending on the cultivar. The content of vitamins increased alongside with rate of vermicompost introduction. We also revealed the influence of variety factor on the accumulation of vitamins. The antibacterial effect of the garlic essential oils against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis was significant; the diameters of the inhibition zone were for S. aureus 21.35-27.10 mm, for E. coli - 16.97-26.46 mm, and for B. subtilis - 16.42-25.36 mm. The number of Mycobacterium smegmatis colonies decreased by 23.96-43.44%. This study has been proved that garlic juice had considerable antibacterial effect on the studied bacteria (S. aureus, E. coli and B. subtilis); therefore, it can replace chemical antibiotics that have undesirable effects on the body, like allergy and antimicrobial resistance. Our data shows that using of vermicompost was more effective than humus.

Barley Genotypes

Knowledge about the effect of genotypic variation and sowing date on dry matter accumulation, remobilization and partitioning in winter barley is important for crop management. Therefore, in field studies, six winter barley genotypes of various origin and maturity groups were studied across four sowing dates. In general, grain yield and dry matter content decreased with delayed sowing, after mid-October, and average grain yield in late October and November sowing was lower 14.2% and 16.9%, respectively, compared to the yield in the optimal sowing date. Among the tested genotypes, high grain yield and dry matter content was obtained from late and medium early barley genotypes. Delayed sowing dates, on average, reduced dry matter remobilization and contribution of vegetative dry matter to grain yield. In years characterized by high spring precipitation, late September and early October sowing of medium early and late barley genotypes enable increased accumulation and remobilization of dry matter and obtainment of high grain yield.

Soil Climate

Peas are superior to many legumes in their nutritional value and contain 20.1-32.4% protein. The amino acids in peas are unique in that they eliminate various harmful and pathological factors in the human body. Growth, development, yield, and yield quality of 75 pea cultivars were studied in dryland conditions. Based on field experiments, it was studied that the genetic characteristics of pea cultivars grown in light grey soils depend on local conditions. From the studied samples, 14 samples with high results compared to the control variant were selected. The yield of the selected samples was 4.4 centners higher than the control variant.

The reduction of yield, quality, and nutritional value of grain cereals by different fungal species is of great concern around the world. A comprehensive investigation was made on fungal mycobiota in rice from three provinces; Baghdad, Al-Najaf and Al-Qadisiyah of Iraq surveyed during the growing season 2014-2015. Fields were selected due to their location near the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Mycological analysis indicated that there were a difference rates in disease infection due to various fungal species. Predominant fungal species identified as Bipolaris spicifera, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium spp., Nigrospora oryzae, Exserohilum rostratum, Alternaria spp. and Thanatephorus cucumeris. Confirmation of the associated fungal species was further accomplished by analysis of their ribosomal DNA and internal transcribed spacer region sequences. The present study provides a detailed description of the associated fungal species, which may help in understanding the population dynamics and in developing effective control measures.
