We designed a new cultivation system of rice with circulated irrigation to remove nitrogen from treated municipal wastewater effectively and assessed the possibility of nitrogen removal in the new system without any adverse effects on rice production through bench-scale experiments through two seasons. Overgrowth of the rice plant, which can lead to lodging and tasteless rice, was found in the first season probably because nitrogen supply based on standard practice in normal paddy fields was too much in the closed irrigation system. In the second season, therefore, the amount of treated wastewater initially applied to the system was reduced but this resulted in a considerably decreased yield. On the other hand, the taste of the rice was significantly improved. The two-season experiments revealed that the new system enabled rice production with minimal irrigation (approximately 50% on the yield base compared to normal paddy fields) and no nitrogen fertilizer. The system also achieved >95% removal of nitrogen from the treated wastewater used for circulated irrigation. The accumulation of harmful metals in the rice was not observed after one season of cultivation in the new system. The accumulation after cultivation using the same soil repeatedly for a longer time should be examined by further studies.

A field experiment using different 2- and 6-rowed barley cultivars grown at two contrasting nitrogen supply rates (40 and 150 kg N/ha) without water restrictions was carried out to explore how the number of leaf primordia and the rate of leaf emergence interact to modify the duration of different pre-heading phenological phases, and to analyse the dynamics of initiation and mortality of different subcomponents of grain number per unit area, in response to different fertiliser nitrogen regimes.The lower nitrogen supply (40 kg N/ha) delayed heading time as a consequence of higher phyllochron, without any effect on the final number of leaves initiated in the apex. The different fertiliser nitrogen rates only altered the co-ordination between tiller appearance and leaf emergence in two of the 6-rowed cultivars, whereas for the rest of the cultivars, co-ordination between leaf emergence and primary tiller appearance was not altered by fertiliser nitrogen rate. The lower nitrogen supply resulted in less fertile florets per ear due to a reduction in floret primordia survival, without any effect on the maximum number of spikelet primordia initiated in the apex. The higher floret abortion observed in 6-rowed compared with 2-rowed cultivars could be associated with the fact that lateral floret primordia, in those apical and basal positions within the ear in 6-rowed cultivars, are poorly developed with respect to the central spikelets.

Nitrogen is a key macronutrient for the quantitative and qualitative yield of grapes; in addition, it influences the development and reproduction of grape pests. The multiple effects of different nitrogen rates were investigated on the red berry cultivar ‘Carignano’ and the grape pest Planococcus ficus in a two-year field trial. Different amounts of ammonium nitrate were compared: 0, 80 and 160 Units ha−1 for mineral nitrogen. The amount of nitrogen fertilization supplied influenced the nitrogen status of vines and increased the pruning weight and leaf area, as well as the overall grape yield, by increasing the cluster weight. However, doubling the nitrogen rate did not generally increase the vegetative and productive parameters of grapevines. At harvest, nitrogen supply did not influence the anthocyanin content, tritatable acidity, and soluble solids, although the latter parameter showed a clear, yet not significant, decreasing trend. Planococcus ficus exhibited higher fecundity, survival and shorter development time on grapevines provided with nitrogen, whereas its fertility was unaffected by nitrogen fertilization. Ultimately, nitrogen had a direct and positive effect on grape yield and vine mealybug development, highlighting the importance of integrated cultural and pest control practices to promote grape production.
