GOJIBERRIES

Objective

Identification of production processes of Goji plants in organic culture, allowing a better quality of berries and leaves, either for consumption in fresh or after dehydration.

Proposed tasks

Production of a microbial inoculum promoting the plant growth

(2) Use of non-intrusive and non-destructive techniques to detect early changes in potential productivity

3) Analysis of macro and micronutrients in plants and soil in macro and micronutrients to evaluate the impact of cultural techniques on nutrient uptake by plants.

4) Quantification of some of the nutritional components of Goji berries and leaves in fresh and dehydrated samples

fungal inoculum composed of Serendipita indica. This fungus forms a mutualist symbiosis with the plant colonizing its root.

A commonly used chlorophyll measurement device is the soil and plant analysis development (SPAD) meter (Minolta, 1989) and is calibrated for several field crops. Unfortunately, SPAD meters are relatively expensive,

The SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter (Konica Minolta Sensing, Inc., Osaka, Japan) calculates the SPAD value based on the intensity of light transmitted around 650 nm (red band) where absorption by chlorophyll is high and a reference wavelength around 940 nm . Measurement of PRI values with the PlantPen PRI 200 (Photon Systems Instruments Ltd., Brno, Czech Republic) is based on the intensity of light reflected at 531 nm which is sensitive to xanthophyll cycle pigments and 570 nm as a reference

OPTIMAL

Objective

Define a restricted interval for the planting densities to the new orchards of “Maçã de Alcobaça”, and to describe the type of pruning to be recommended for these orchads.

Proposed tasks

Determination of interception and distribution of radiation in trees

(2) Detailed studies of photosynthesis using non-intrusive and non-destructive techniques

3) Orchards production and fruit quality
