Sustainable table grape production depends on efficient water supply. Water potential is a useful indicator of constraints in grapevines. In this regard, midday stem (ΨS) considered to be better grapevine status than leaf (ΨL). The objective the study was determine threshold set soil refill lines for irrigation. However, previous studies carried out locally, only ΨL measured. relationship betwe...

Laser-induced fluorescence imaging is a promising technique for assessing quality of fruit. This paper reports on using a hyperspectral laser-induced fluorescence imaging technique for measurement of laser-induced fluorescence from orange for predicting soluble solids content (SSC) of fruit. A laser (632 nm) was used as an excitation source for inducing fluorescence in oranges. Fluorescence sca...

in present research the effects of four levels (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mm) of each of salicylic acid and putrescine treatments on the quality improvement of granny smith apple fruit were studied. factorial experiment in randomized complete block with three replications on 16 trees, eighteen years in researcher station of agriculture university of tehran was designed. for this purpose the trees were spray...

in order to alleviate chilling injury in pomegranate (punica granatum) cv. rabab due to cold storage, the fruits were dipped in 0.7, 1.4 and 2 mm of salicylic acid (sa) for 10 min. after 1, 2 and 3 months of storage at 2°c, the fruits were tested for chilling injury (ci) as well as some biochemical parameters. the results revealed that with increase in storage time, ci and ion leakage (il) incr...

The fruit of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is an important horticultural product in the Middle East and North Africa. Among more than 400 reported date palm cultivars in Iran, around 20 cultivars are more important due to having better eating quality and trading values. In this study, the fruit of nine commercially important date cultivars including ‘Barhee’, ‘Breim’, ‘Deiri’, ‘Fersi’, ‘Ga...

Banana, an important component in the diet of the global population, is one of the most consumed fruits in the world. This fruit is also very favorable to industry processes (e.g., fermented beverages) due to its rich content on soluble solids and minerals, with low acidity. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of factors such as banana weight and extraction time during...

Dwarf cherry tomatoes ‘Red Robin’ and ‘Tiny Tim Red’ were cultivated in two sections. The sections set as (1) section irradiated only by fluorescent lamps (main wavelengths 433, 543, 610 nm; 230 μmol·m−2·s−1 of photosynthetic photon flux density) non-treated with UV-A irradiation (hereafter, non-UVA), (2) treated (maximum peak emission: 352 15.1 W·m−2 ultraviolet radiation intensity; hereafter,...

Environmental Changes in a round of reservoir have dramatic influences on the sedimentation and deterioration water quality. A significant land-use change Cibalagung sub-watershed has impact quality Cirata reservoir. In this study, we used remote sensing GIS to investigate influence changes sub-watershed, 2004–2014. The total suspended solids (TSS), as main parameter quality, was determined by ...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of packaging materials, seasonality, storage temperature and time on physiochemical and antioxidant properties of roselle-mango juice blends. Roselle extract (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%) was mixed with mango juice and stored in glass and plastic bottles at 4°C and 28°C. Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar, color, vitamin C, tot...
