Flower senescence is the terminal phase of developmental processes that leads to the end of its life span. Since a number of developing countries are attracted to this global fresh flower trade for commercial purpose, this phenomenon is major obstacle for all the floricultural industries. Therefore, research related to postharvest changes was carried out to mitigate this problem. The post-harve...

a study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (lilium longifolium l. cv. mero star). in production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a leguminous crop which very important source of dietary protein and oil in animal feed, staple for human consumption. It the fourth most world terms area harvested production. The stored products are usually subjected to postharvest losses, begin from field. These losses can be due poor field or practices, lead total grain loss. objectives this study were de...

Apple fruits are susceptible to pathogenic fungi such as Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum which responsible for significant pre- postharvest fruit losses. Given the strong restriction in use of synthetic agrochemicals, especially during phase, alternatives currently sought a more sustainable management apple storage. The antifungal activity thyme, clove, anise, camphor, juniper essenti...
