Challenges and Opportunities in Tomato Production Chain and Sustainable Standards
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is an important member of the Solanaceae family. It is mainly used as food and cash crop globally. Tomato also serves as an ornamental plant in some parts of the world. In urban areas, this crop is included in the foodscaping systems where it is grown in hanging baskets, growing pots and aquaponics for aesthetic and food purposes. Tomato production is m...
متن کاملTechnical-economic analysis of the combined system power generation, production of fresh water and cooling production
In gas power plants, a lot of energy is lost in the form of heat more than the electricity produced. In the present research, techno-economic evaluation of combined power, desalination and cooling systems running by the exhaust flue gases of a gas turbine in Iran is performed. In addition to using power generated by the gas turbine, attempts were made to use Organic Rankine Cycle to recover the...
متن کاملColored Mulches Affect Yield of Fresh-market Tomato Infected with Meloidogyne incognita.
The effects of different-colored polyethylene mulches on the quantity and spectra of reflected light, earliness of fruit set, fruit yield and quality, and root-knot disease were studied in field-grown, staked tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). White mulch reflected more photosynthetic light and a lower far-red-to-red ratio than red mulch, whereas black mulch reflected less than 5 percent of any ...
متن کاملMajor insect pests and economics of fresh-market tomato in eastern Virginia
Major insect pests of fresh-market tomato, Lycopersicon esculentumMiller, in eastern Virginia were identified as those responsible for reducing marketable fruit yield from 1998 through 2000. Nineteen arthropod pest species infested springand fall-grown tomato crops, but only thrips, stink bugs, and Lepidopterans, particularly the corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea [Boddie]), reduced yield. Fruit inj...
متن کاملOn-Farm Evaluation of a Novel Low-Input Rice Production System in Panama
This case study evaluates the potential of the system of rice intensification (SRI) to increase rice yields while reducing water consumption on subsistence farms in the province Veraguas in Panama. The aim of this project was to provide practical information on SRI to farmers in this province of Panama and to develop agronomic recommendations for SRI based on both farmers’ experiences and scien...
