Organic production: the adoption of a niche strategy by the mainstream food system
This paper critically assesses the potential and barriers for food system transformation from the conventional to an organic model by utilising the literature on system innovation. Based on the analysis of two food supply chains in the UK, namely chicken and potato production and processing, the paper demonstrates that the current conventional food system appears to be resilient to radical ...

Toxicity of pesticides associated with potato production, including soil fumigants, to snapping turtle eggs (Chelydra Serpentina)
Turtles frequently oviposit in soils associated with agriculture and, thus, may be exposed to pesticides or fertilizers. The toxicity of a pesticide regime that is used for potato production in Ontario on the survivorship of snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) eggs was evaluated. The following treatments were applied to clean soil: 1) a mixture of the pesticides chlorothalonil, ...

Potato Late Blight, Lelystad, Netherlands - Case Study
Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most important disease in potato production. Under favourable conditions the pathogen can destroy the potato foliage very rapidly and cause tuber blight. To avoid infection of the foliage, fungicides are frequently sprayed onto the crop. In the Netherlands, in some years up to 15 sprays are necessary to prevent the crop from infection by the ...

Advantages of auxin analogues as plant growth and productivity regulators
The possibility of regulating productivity of potato plants by applying the promising analogues of auxin compounds TA-12, TA-59, LN-14, LN-16 has been proved experimentally. The compounds at optimal concentrations (TA-12 1.0, TA-59 0.5, LN-14 and LN-16 1.0 kg/ha) were found to activate the process of tuber formation, increasing the number of tubers and accumulation of assimilates in tubers. TA-12 ...

What is the Market Prospect of Sweet Potato Deep Processing?
Sweet potato is one of the world's major food crops and one of the four major crops in China. China is still in its infancy in the research and comprehensive development of the sweet potato utilization project. Most of the sweet potato products stay in the rough processing of sweet potato, sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato starch. The value that sweet potato is not well known to most ...

Potato response to a polymer-coated urea on an irrigated, coarse-textured soil
Controlled release fertilizers, especially polymer-coated urea (PCU), have been shown to reduce nitrate (NO3) leaching while maintaining potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yields, but cost has been prohibitive. A new type of PCU (Environmentally Smart Nitrogen, Agrium, Inc., Calgary, AB) is less costly than previous PCUs, but its effectiveness on potato production has not been extensively studied. A ...

PEWE Oregon Potato Case Study
Facility Background Out with the old and in with the new! Oregon Potato production capacity had overrun their worn out existing wastewater treatment DAF unit. It had been installed years before and soon was over-loaded and needing replacement aeration pumps regularly while the manual controls were a maintenance nightmare. To discharge water the facility needed to meet permit guidelines for TSS, ...

Effectiveness and efficacy of conservation options after potato harvest
Soil erosion and phosphorus (P) runoff can be severe in potato production systems in the Northeast USA, which are characterized by intensive tillage, minimal ground cover, low crop residue return, and steep slopes. We used rainfall simulators in the greenhouse and field to assess sediment and P movement associated with two conservation practices: straw mulching and application of polyacrylamide ...

New Technology of Cassava Flour Equipment and Cassava Flour Production Process
Tapioca flour is also called cassava powder, which is in the form of powder. Unlike tapioca starch, it is the processing of all cassava roots, retaining the nutrient content of cassava, and the nutrition is more comprehensive than tapioca starch. Tapioca flour is mainly consumed. The cassava flour equipment developed by GOODWAY Tapioca Industry is widely used in the international market. Crafting ...

Principle and Process of Sweet Potato Starch Production
Sweet potato, also known as sweet potato, sweet potato, hawthorn, red glutinous rice, etc., is an excellent raw material for starch processing. The sweet potato starch production process is actually a physical separation process, which separates the cellulose, protein, inorganic salts and other substances in the raw materials from the starch. In the production process, starch is separated from ...

Research on microbial lipid production from potato starch wastewater as culture medium by
Lipomyces starkeyi In this paper, potato starch wastewater as culture medium was treated by the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi to biosynthesize microbial lipid. The result indicated that carbon source types, carbon source concentration, nitrogen source types, nitrogen source concentration, inoculum size, and cultivation time all had a significant effect on cell growth and microbial lipid accumulation in ...

Introgession of wild species germplasm with extreme resistance to cold sweetening into the cultivated potato
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) breeders are interested in developing chipping cultivars that can be stored at cold temperatures to reduce storage losses and increase profitability for potato producers. Commercial cultivars accumulate reducing sugars during cold storage, resulting in unacceptably dark chips when processed. In this study, we have identified diploid wild Solanum species accessions ...

How Much Water Is Really Used In Food And Beverage Production?
People concerned about their water footprint often make an effort to turn the faucet off quickly, take shorter showers, and cut back on watering the lawn. While these efforts are important, they ignore one of the biggest water-use culprits found in virtually every household: food and beverages. The production of food and beverages is a water-intensive process. According to the Water Footprint ...

Organic amendment history and crop rotation effects on soil Nitrogen mineralization potential and soil Nitrogen supply in a potato cropping system
Crop management practices influence readily and potentially available N in soil. In this study, we evaluated the effects of organic amendment history and crop rotation on potentially mineralizable N (N0), mineralizable N pools, and field estimates of soil N supply in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production, and evaluated a suite of N availability measures to detect changes in these parameters. ...
