Processed fruits and vegetables have been long considered to have lower nutritional value than their fresh commodities due to the loss of vitamin C during processing. This research group found vitamin C in apples contributed < 0.4% of total antioxidant activity, indicating most of the activity comes from the natural combination of phytochemicals. This suggests that processed fruits and vegetabl...

Bacterial wilt is one of the most severe tomato diseases worldwide and Ralstonia solanacearum is determined to be the pathogen responsible for its spread. Soil amendments such as calcium cyanamide and herb residues have both been proved to be high potential for tomato bacterial wilt control. Disinfection effect and heat generated during the decomposition processes of calcium cyanamide and herb ...

Bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas spp. is one of the major diseases in tomato. perforans main pathogen bacterial on tomato Florida. Currently, application copper fungicides primary measure used to manage this disease. However, development resistance X. and accumulation environment are concerns for excessive use copper-based products agriculture. Due its antibacterial properties low environme...

tomato, lycopersicum esculentum miller, is a grassy and annual plant from solanaceae family which is the most important farm plant after potato. the cotton-melon aphid, aphis gossypii glover (hem.: aphididae), is an important pests of tomato and vector of viral diseases in the farms and greenhouses. in the greenhouse its damage ranks second to the whiteflies (bemisia tabaci gennadius). in this ...

Currently, copper is approved as an active substance among plant protection products and considered effective against more than 50 different diseases in crops, conventional organic. Tomato has been cultivated for centuries, but many fungal still affect it, making it necessary to control them through antifungal agents, such copper, the primary form of organic farming systems (OFS). The objective...

Biochar, in addition to sequestering carbon, ameliorating soil, and improving plant performance, can impact foliar and soilborne plant diseases. Nevertheless, the mechanisms associated with suppression of soilborne diseases and improved plant performances are not well understood. This study is designed to establish the relationships between biochar-induced changes in rhizosphere microbial commu...

The paper discusses disease identification and classification in tomato plants, as well the effect of data augmentation deep learning models. database used here is Tomato plant leaves (TPL) images from PlantVillage Database healthy classes. categories have been chosen depending on their occurrence Indian States. proposed ResNet50, ResNet18, ResNet101 deep-learning model with transfer combined s...

abstract tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv) was detected in tomato leaf and fruit samples collected from viiramin reyion in tehran province using indicator test plants including petunia hybrida, nicatiana glutinosa, n. tabacum cv. snmsun nn, n. clevelandit and n. benthamiana and seroloyical tests. small browinsh local necrotic lesions appeared on p. hybrida leaves 2-4 days post-inoculation. syste...

In addition to the inverse association of dietary lycopene with various cancers, studies suggest a role for lycopene in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. We determined whether the intake of lycopene or tomato-based foods is associated with the risk of CVD in a prospective cohort of 39,876 middle-aged and older women initially free of CVD and cancer. Participants completed a food-frequenc...

INTRODUCTION Epidemiologic evidence suggests that tomato-based products could reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. One of the main cardiovascular risk factors is low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the effect of tomato consumption on HDL-C levels. SUBJECT AND METHODS We conducted a randomized, single-blinded, controlled...
