Article Synopsis
- A three-year study (2009-2011) evaluated the phytochemicals and antioxidant capacities of two green cauliflower varieties, HF1 Emeraude and Velox, grown organically versus conventionally.
- While conventional farming boosted yield, organic farming led to higher soluble solids and the organic plants showed better resilience to drought in the third year.
- Velox consistently outperformed Emeraude in phytochemical content and antioxidant capacity under organic conditions, indicating that organic farming can be beneficial for specific cauliflower genotypes.
Background: In recent years there has been growing interest in the influence of sustainable cultivation systems on the biochemical quality of vegetables. In this study, two genotypes of tomato, Giulianova and Perbruzzo, were grown in both organic (Or) and conventional (Conv) systems for three years and harvested at commercial ripening in each year. The Conv system was established according to traditional techniques and the Or system according to current EU regulations.
