This study examined the effect of debagging time on color and flavor / taste compounds in the non-red apple cultivar 'Golden Delicious' and red cultivar 'Qinguan' at mid and late stages of fruit development. Debagging briefly improved the red color in both cultivars, the peel of 'Golden Delicious' presenting pale-pink hue. However, rapid anthocyanin accumulation occurred in apple peel at a spec...

ABSTRACT- The evaluation of leaf area and leaf nutritional value is important for crop growth modeling and estimations of its performance. The purpose of this study was to use image processing techniques to develop an economical method to ease the assessment of nutrient status and leaf area (LA) of plants and to compare the outcomes of this method with linear models. Leaf area and leaf chloroph...

Firmness is an important parameter in determining the maturity and quality grade of apple fruit. The objective of this research was to mprove the multispectral imaging system used in our previous studies and refine scattering analysis methods for more effectively measuring pple fruit firmness. An improved multispectral imaging system equipped with a light intensity controller was used to measur...

Damage to apple (Malus domestica Borkhausen) by Campylomma verbasci (Meyer), has occurred even when effective insecticides are applied against nymphs present at the petal fall stage. However, insecticide application at pink bud prevents damage more effectively than when the same insecticides are applied at petal fall. We tested the hypothesis that most mullein bug damage occurs between bloom an...

Currently, destructive methods are often used to measure the quality parameters of agricultural products. These complex, time consuming and costly. Recently, studying find a solution disadvantages has become major challenge for researchers. Non-destructive can be useful rapid detection In this study, hyperspectral imaging was evaluate non-destructive Red Delicious (Red Delicious) Golden (Golden...
