Hydrolysable tannins, water-extracted from sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) biomass (CHT) and membrane concentrated, have several remarkable effects as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and metal complexing agents. Raw CHT extract has been recognized as a plant biostimulant for its capacity to enhance plant rooting, and improve early P uptake (starter effect), as a seed-transplant seedling local treatment. It has been investigated, in particular on tobacco, also for its ability to enhance plant resistance to nematodes. More recently, some CHT fractions obtained by process stream fractioning and enriched in selected polyphenolic subclasses with antimicrobial and antioxidant effects were identified, chemically characterized and tested for their potential in promoting selected aspects of plant yield, quality and protection, and maintaining and improving feed and food quality during processing. A method of application of a CHT fraction with a biostimulant effect on plant root system was developed, to protect tobacco plant in Meloidogyne spp. infested fields. Results of this application consistently did not differ from better treatments.

Abstract

Hydrolysable tannins, water-extracted from sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) biomass (CHT) and membrane concentrated, have several remarkable effects as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and metal complexing agents. Raw CHT extract has been recognized as a plant biostimulant for its capacity to enhance plant rooting, and improve early P uptake (starter effect), as a seed-transplant seedling local treatment. It has been investigated, in particular on tobacco, also for its ability to enhance plant resistance to nematodes. More recently, some CHT fractions obtained by process stream fractioning and enriched in selected polyphenolic subclasses with antimicrobial and antioxidant effects were identified, chemically characterized and tested for their potential in promoting selected aspects of plant yield, quality and protection, and maintaining and improving feed and food quality during processing. A method of application of a CHT fraction with a biostimulant effect on plant root system was developed, to protect tobacco plant in Meloidogyne spp. infested fields. Results of this application consistently did not differ from better treatments.
