L’analisi del ciclo di vita come strumento di supporto alle decisioni evidence-based in agricoltura
Il presente articolo propone una discussione sul contributo del metodo Life Cycle Assessment alle politiche evidence-based, soprattutto per favorire l’adozione di innovazioni più ecologiche e ridurre l’asimmetria informativa B2C, nell’ottica degli obiettivi 2030 di sviluppo sostenibile (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs)
Method for detecting Macrophomina phaseolina
The plant pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina is distributed worldwide and has a host range of more than 500 plant species. The fungus attacks crops that are the source of staple foods, and causes yield losses of up to 90% in sunflower, 30-60% in strawberry, 50% in soybean and 70% in corn. Alongside the more traditional diagnostic methods (direct techniques), which require long execution times and highly qualified personnel, indirect diagnostic techniques have been developed, which aim at the identification of pathogens through the analysis of their nucleic acids. The increasing demand for "ready-to-use" diagnostic tools and the great impact of the pathogen on global food production has required the development of faster and more highly specific diagnostic kits
