BAL, E. and S. CELIK, 2010. The effects of postharvest treatments of salicylic acid and potassium permanganate on the storage of kiwifruit. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 576-584 Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) was used to investigate the effects of salicylic acid (0.5 mM, 1 mM) and potassium permanganate treatments on fruit quality and storage life during storage for two years. After tr...

the use of compounds inhibiting ethylene production is very important in post-harvest technology of fruits. sweet cherry is a non-climacteric fruit with capability of ethylene production during storage period. factors that decrease ethylene production would increase fruits storage life. in this research sweet cherry fruits of mashhad cv. were sprayed with different concentrations of salicylic a...

Apricots (Prunus armeniaca L.), a kind of climacteric fruits, are favored by consumers for their flavor and texture, but they are highly perishable. Apricots soften rapidly after harvest. Once softened, they are easily damaged such as latent damage, which limits their marketing time [1, 2]. Therefore, a common practice for handling and storing apricots is early harvest and applying postharvest ...

rosa hybrida l. is an important commercial cut flower. salicylic acid (sa) and calcium chloride (cacl2) act as endogenous signal molecules responsible for growth parameters in plants. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of preharvest sa and cacl2 treatments in extending the vase life of cut rose flowers. therefore, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with ...

Pitaya is one of the most important commercial cactus fruit. Pitaya fruits are easy to get injury during postharvest handling and storage. Pre-harvest and postharvest calcium treatments have been used to maintain flesh firmness and extend shelf life of many fruits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of calcium treatments on maintaining pitaya fruit quality during cold storage. Pi...

Mango fruits have a high nutritional value and are beneficial to health. However, losses frequently occur after harvest, because they perishable. Salicylic acid (SA) can be used preserve fruit quality maintain their contents. Therefore, this study was conducted investigate the effects of applications 2 mM SA on physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, antioxidant anti-inflammatory activ...

Stem and peduncle bending by the weight of the flower is one of the main postharvest problems in gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus.) and sometimes caused stem crushing or water loss. In this research, silicon and salicylic acid were applied to enhance the mechanical strength of inflorescence stem, and the results revealed that stem curving was decreased by silicon and salicylic acid treatments. ...
