High-density apple (Malus domestica) orchard management techniques and productivity were evaluated on an old orchard replant site in North Carolina. Trees were planted at 5 × 10 ft (1.5 × 3.0 m), giving a tree density of 871 trees/acre (2152 trees/ha). Well-branched ‘Smoothee Golden Delicious’ trees on ‘Mark’ rootstock were planted in 1990. Orchard-management factors which increased cumulative ...

The green synthesis route, in comparison to the conventional chemical and physical procedures, is an easy and eco-friendly alternative to synthesize metallic nanoparticles. Here, we report a cost-effective, clean and fast bio-process to synthesize Ag nanoparticles after reduction of Ag + using apple (Malus domestica) fruit extract. The formation of silver nanoparticles was first examined by UV-...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the importance of the preculture conditions on the survival of apple (Malus domestica Borkh., cv. Romus4 and rootstock M106) shoot tips cryopreserved using a combined droplet vitrification procedure. Preculture was critical for the survival of apple shoot tips after cryopreservation. Among the different tested sugars and sugar alcohols (glucose, s...

Manalagi apple (Malus Domestica) is one of the local varieties apples. Apple rind has benefits such as antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-colliferative. The use apples needs to be developed in form mouthwash products. aim research was determine organoleptic evaluation manalagi peel extract formulation. type this experimental research. sample study skin an apple. stages were making...

ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect pre-harvest spraying with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and ethephon on fruit maturation 'Baigent' apple (Malus domestica) trees grown under black anti-hail nets. treatments were: control; 125 mg L-1 AVG, sprayed 30 days before anticipated harvest time (DBAH); 120 7 DBAH; 62.5 + AVG 20 DBAH DBAH. Fruit were harvested in commercial c...

This study reports the presence and injuries caused by Tetranychus ludeni Zacher, 1913 (Acari: Tetranychidae) on apple tree seedlings (Malus domestica Borkh: Rosaceae) in nurseries southern Brazil. The ability of predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks, 1904) Phytoseiidae) to control T. infestations this environment was also evaluated. infestation observed during routine monitoring at Aca...
