TL;DR: Alfalfa is a potential forage resource for the improvement of hilly areas of Mediterranean environment and the combination of early and late harvest times would allow a better distribution of the forage production between the months of June and September as well as a fair useful forage regrowth during the weeks of October and November.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of soil water deficit during fruit development and ripening, on yield and quality of processing tomato under deficit irrigation in the Mediterranean climate, was carried out in two sites differing from soil and climatic characteristics, in Sicily, South Italy.

TL;DR: Three different lignocellulosic energy crops (a local clone of Arundo donax L., Miscanthus x giganteus Greef et Deu. and Cynara cardunculus) were compared over 5 years for crop yield, net energy yield and energy ratio.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the practical experience of hemp cultivation in Europe and China and knowledge gathered form scientific literature, highlights the effect of agronomic factors in determining the yield potential and quality level of hemp for specific end use destinations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptation of the species to the Mediterranean environment, and at analysing its ecophysiological and productive response to different soil water and nitrogen conditions, were carried out with the aim of studying the adaptation and productivity of M.×.ganteus.
