Almond processing generates a high quantity of by-products, presenting the untapped potential for alternative applications and improved sustainability in production. This study aimed to evaluate whether incorporation almond by-products (hulls/shells) can improve biochemical characteristics green bean pods when used as an traditional growing media plants. Four substrates were prepared: Control substrate (C): 70% peat + 30% perlite; (AS): shells; (AH): perlite 1 cm hulls mulch; (MIX): 15% shells hulls. Plants grown each these subjected two irrigation levels, 100% 50% their water-holding capacity. Biochemical parameters (photosynthetic pigments, total phenolics, flavonoids, ortho-diphenols, soluble proteins, antioxidant capacity) color evaluated harvested pods. Results showed that from plants AH presented statistically significant higher values phenolic content, while AS MIX did not reveal benefits. Summarily, this highlights promising medium cultivation, particularly employed mulch. Further research is recommended gain more comprehensive understanding application natural fertilizers/mulch.

The production of Lupinus seeds for food and feed is increasing worldwide, which results in large amounts post-harvest biomass residues, considered low value left the field to be burned or incorporated soil. To valorize these agricultural wastes, this work aimed assess their potential as an alternative ruminants. Thus, yield, nutritive value, alkaloid content straws pod shells from three native European species, L. albus ‘Estoril’ (white), angustifolius ‘Tango’ (narrow-leafed), luteus ‘Cardiga’ (yellow), cultivated two locations, were evaluated. dry matter (DM) yield highest (4.10 t ha −1 ) lowest (1.78 ), suggesting a poor adaptation narrow-leafed lupin particularly warm agronomic year. Despite species-specific differences, residues presented higher crude protein (53.0–68.9 g kg DM) lignin (103–111 than cereal usually used ruminant feeding, thus resulting metabolizable energy (6.43–6.58 MJ content.
