20.500.12556/DiRROS-32331 The organic-conventional trade-off: Grain yield, nutritional composition and quality traits across diverse cereals grain yield, nutritional composition and quality traits across diverse cereals This study evaluated the effects of conventional (CONV) and organic (ORG) management on grain yield, nutritional composition and quality traits of winter barley, winter spelt, spring oat and winter wheat over a three- year field experiment. The aim was to identify species-specific productivity-quality relationships and determine the relative contributions of management and seasonal variation to cereal performance. Across all species, CONV management consistently maximised grain yield, with winter barley reaching 7.03 t ha 1 with 3.33 t ha 1 under ORG, and winter wheat producing 6.43 versus 3.17 t ha 1 under CONV compared , respectively. In contrast, ORG management enhanced grain nutritional quality by increasing micronutrient concentrations, particularly Zn, Cu, Fe and Mo; for example, winter wheat under ORG accumulated 39.54 mg kg 1 under CONV, while spring oat exceeded 79 mg kg 1 Zn compared with 26.98 mg kg 1 Fe under ORG conditions. Among the cereals studied, conventional hulled winter barley showed the highest β-glucan content, kernel width and thousand-kernel weight, whereas spring oat had higher fat, fibre and dry matter concentrations. Multivariate analyses showed that species identity was the main determinant of grain quality architecture, substantially outweighing management effects, while year significantly influenced most traits, reflecting strong genotype × environment × management interactions. The findings highlight the need to integrate cereal species selection, productivity and both concentration- and area-based nutritional indicators when designing sustainable cereal production systems. cereals grain yield multi-year field experiment micronutrients β-glucan proteins nutritional quality CONV true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2026-09-07 12:32:31 2026-09-07 12:32:32 2026-09-08 04:26:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Soavtorji: Hajer Ben Ammar, Marianna Rakyzegi, Péter Mikó, Barbara Pipan; str. 1-14 Vol. 131, [article no.] 104543 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-08-27 633 1095-9963 10.1016/j.jcs.2026.104543 290187779 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0733521026001815?via%3Dihub 1 791ac9bc-aaa7-11f1-9741-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=50537 RAZ_Sinkovic_Lovro_2026.pdf RAZ_Sinkovic_Lovro_2026.pdf 1 F671D692264A238236B06D4752A09335 a9be583d962f4078fe02227b417c4bef6784a5537bed90868feca8539a20b921 a657c8f4-aaac-11f1-9741-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=50558 Kmetijski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
