Exploring biofortification of beans with zinc to combat deficiency
In this review, South African researchers discuss the causes of zinc deficiency, which has become prevalent in low-income families in South Africa. They also explore possible solutions to this, such as the biofortification of locally-preferred common bean cultivars. This article was published in the journal Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science. In […]

Cherry tomato growth, yield and fruit quality improve when irrigated with saline water
Researchers from France examined the influence of different salt concentrations on the physiological responses and gene expression of Solanum lycopersicum (cherry tomato; cultivar West Virginia 106). Their findings were published in the journal Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B — Soil & Plant Science. Experts predict that the use of saline water for farming will become a necessity […]

Organically grown potatoes have better microelement content than potatoes grown using conventional and integrated systems
In this study, researchers at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in Poland investigated the effect of different production systems (i.e., conventional, integrated and organic) on the micronutrient and trace element content of tubers belonging to very early, early and medium-early maturing potato cultivars. Their findings were published in the journal Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section […]

Can geographical location affect the chemical composition of plant-based essential oils? Science explains
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has increased in recent years. Besides ancient techniques that promote natural healing, such as acupuncture, CAM also promotes the use of natural products like essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated extracts that can be derived from different parts of a certain plant. This is usually done through […]
