Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) is highly popular due to its attractive taste and flavor of fruits. However, cultivation facing a serious obstacle for the substantial decrease in fruit soluble solids contents. In this study, four commonly-used fertilization types, including organic manure application (OM), combined NPK fertilizer (OC), at high rate (HC) low (LC) were selected ...

Abstract Background In this research, the effects of exogenous application certain biostimulants [amino acid (AA), humic (HA), fulvic (FA), and seaweed extract (SE)] on fruit yield quality, leaf mineral contents, some critical physio-chemical characteristics grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.) cv. ‘Yaghouti’ were investigated under well-watered (WW) drought-stressed (DS) conditions. Results Drought ...

Investigations have demonstrated that ratio of sugars to organic acids affects the particular taste of citrus fruit and carotenoids are essential for prevent of the disease.  It seems that some rootstocks enhance the ripening of fruits and stimulatethe biosynthesis of sugars and carotenoids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on sugars, organic acids andcarotenoids o...

Background and Objectives: Fast proteolysis of cheese in ripening process may lead to the premature attack of casein, release of the majority of enzymes into the whey, and loss of cheese composition from curd to whey. In this study, the effect of liposomal Flavourzyme on proteolysis of Iranian white brined cheese, as well as on the yield and composition of whey and curd was investigated. Mater...

The aim of this study was to determine organic acids and individual sugars as well as carotenoids in fruit of Kumquat[Fortunella margarita (Lour.) Swingle] on different rootstocks.  On other hand, the purpose of this study was to identify the rootstock that could produce the highest amount of sugars. The content of individual sugars and organic acids in fruits were determined by HPLC, ...

Transfer station (TS) is an integral part of present-day municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems. To provide information for the incorporation of waste facilities within the current integrated waste management system, the authors measured the existing environmental quality at five MSW TSs. Discharged wastewater, air, and noise were monitored and assayed at the five TSs in Beijing in 2001...

The nitrogen (N) critical level in leaves and maximum technical efficiency (MTE) doses contribute to the grape yield, must quality, fertilizers rationalization. This study aimed define sufficient ranges levels obtain high yields quality grapevines grown sandy soil a subtropical climate. ‘Chardonnay’ ‘Pinot Noir’ were subjected annual application of 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 kg N ha−1 vineyard. conc...
