Machine harvesting blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) alleviates labor costs and shortages but can reduce fruit quality. Installation of softer catching surfaces inside modified over-the-row harvesters (modified OTR) adjusting harvest intervals may improve quality packout. The objective this study was to determine the effect interval on fresh market northern highbush corymbosum L.) harvested using a OTR...

the effect of the organic, integrated and conventional methods of kiwifruit cv. 'hayward' production on the fruit quality at its harvest time was investigated. such traits as fruit size, firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, vitamin c, total phenol, flavonoid compounds (catechin, quercetin 3-glucoside and chlorogenic acid)...

Twenty bacterial wilt resistant lines including recently developed at CSKHPKV, Palampur (08) were studied to ascertain the extent of genetic variability, type and magnitude correlation between component characters & marketable yield, as well direct indirect impacts every character on yield. For all variables except plant survival, analysis variance exhibited significant differences across g...

Choosing an excellent method to compare the aim characteristics of a large number cultivars simultaneously in sufficiently comprehensive way is often essential challenge for breeders. This article presents results assessment Estonian conditions 58 strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) various geographical origins according main economically useful markers. Based on two years data, were clustered sep...

Pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) is an exotic fruit species of significant economic importance. However, due to genetic variability, its exploitation hampered by the lack homogeneous production. In this scenario, study aimed select pitanga genotypes according physical and physicochemical parameters fruits grown under semi-arid conditions. The was developed at Federal Rural University Semi-Arid Reg...

The present investigation entitled “Value addition and standardization of recipe on dragon fruit jelly (Hylocerous undatus L.)” was conducted at Post-Harvest Laboratory Department Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj during the year 2022. experiment laid down in Complete randomized design (RBD) with 3 replications 10 treatments viz . T0 = (Contro...

Kiwifruit is one of the leading agricultural commodities having tremendous potential export to international market. An experiment was carried out during period 20th January June, 2020 evaluate efficacy modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on quality and physiochemical characteristics in cool bot storage conditions. There were altogether four varieties twenty-five fruits each variety sealed with...

The aim of this paper was to establish the effect different spacing and nitrogen levels on quality parameters beetroot cv. Detroit Dark Red under Telangana state conditions. It carried out during rabi season 2020-21 at SKLTSHU, College Horticulture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, India. experiment laid in Factorial Randomized Block Design with sixteen treatments replicated thrice. Treatment consiste...

Storage of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit in a high CO2 (3 kPa) and low O2 (1.5 kPa) controlled atmosphere (CA) reduced firmness and titratable acidity (TA) loss during long term storage. This CA environment also induced development of internal CO2-injury (brown-heart) and slowed the disappearance of watercore. The symptoms of internal CO2-injury were first detected 15 days after CA establishment and the s...

OBJECTIVES To measure, in vitro, the pH and titratable acidity (TA) of various soft drinks and to assess the erosive effect of smoothies using an in situ model. METHOD The in vitro phase of this study included measuring the inherent pH of six different commercially available smoothies, diet coke, and citric acid 0.3% (positive control) using a pH meter. The TA was determined by titration with...
