Collection description
The topic of the Ph.D. deals with the production of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) for the industrial production of "Genovese pesto" through methodologies and processes that are more economically and environmentally sustainable. To achieve these results, it is necessary to develop alternative cultivation systems that allow rapid crop cycles, uniformity of growth, automation of some cultivation practices, hygiene and quality of the final product. The area of focus is hydroponics, which refers to technological solutions for agriculture in a confined environment and includes a wide variety of production systems attributable to protected crops and related activities. In this context, the objective of the research project was to design and implement strategies for growing basil all year round, even in environments where soil use is not feasible (e.g., floating system and vertical farming) and/or the climate does not allow it, characterizing the production in quanti-qualitative terms. The proposed cultivation techniques have low input requirements, high resource use efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The impacts of various pre-harvest factors (such as genetic material, the composition of the nutrient solution, and the use of plant biostimulants) were then evaluated to implement production from both production and quality perspectives.
