NEW TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE WALNUT IN EMILIA-ROMAGNA
The proposed research project is to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the walnut
supply chain by introducing innovations in all phases of the production process. Specific objectives are the following: 1. Rationalize the use of water resources; 2. Evaluate the physiological response and the qualitative-quantitative yield of plants subjected to different irrigation regimes; 3. Experiment with the possibility of reusing the first processing waters (shearing); 4. Develop guidelines for the management of the walnut supply chain; 5. Evaluate consumer acceptability of new health products (energy bars) based on shelled walnuts.
This objective will be pursue by evaluating, both in the field and in the laboratory, some genotypes in
an advanced selection phase. Overall, there are about 50 apple and pear tree selections, for which it is therefore intend to continue the evaluation, both in integrated and organic cultivation, in order to
express an opinion about the possible commercial diffusion of the most promising ones. The fruits of
the potential new varieties will also be subject to a panel test and consumer test, in order to verify the
level of satisfaction and the propensity to purchase by the consumer.
