Abstract Fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora reached Kazakhstan in 2008. Here, the disease poses a threat not only to agricultural production of apples and pears, but also forests wild Malus sieversii , progenitor most domesticated apple varieties worldwide. In period 2019–2021, spread fire growth area was limited weather conditions. 2022, late spring early summer were characterized increas...

The low fruit set is one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards in Brazil. The exogenous application of thidiazuron (TDZ) and aminoethoxyvinilglycine (AVG) has shown promising results in some pear cultivars and other temperate fruit trees. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of TDZ and AVG on fruit set, yield, and fruit quality of 'Hosui' and 'Packham's Tr...

genotype×environment interactions (geis) can affect breeding programs because they often complicate the evaluation and selection of superior genotypes. this drawback can be reduced by gaining insights into gei processes and genotype adaptation. the objectives of this research were to evaluate: (1) the yield stability of promising wheat lines across locations and (2) the relationship among the t...

Avocado plant (Persea americana), a plant belonging to the family of Lauraceae and genus, persea bears fruit known as avocado pear or alligator pear that contains the avocado pear seed. Reported uses of avocado pear seed include use in the management of hypertension, diabetes, cancer and inflammation [7-9]. The fruit is known as ube oyibo (loosely translated to ‘foreign pear’) in Ojoto and neig...

This study focused on conservation biological control of pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola, in the Pacific Northwest, USA. We hypothesized that insecticides applied against the primary insect pest, codling moth Cydia pomonella, negatively impact natural enemies of pear psylla, thus causing outbreaks of this secondary pest. Hence, the objective of this study was to understand how codling moth man...

Prickly pear juice has received renewed attention with regard to the effects of processing and preservation on its sensory qualities (colour, taste, flavour, aroma, astringency, visual browning and overall acceptability). Juice was prepared by homogenizing fruit and treating the pulp with pectinase (Aspergillus niger). Juice treatments applied were sugar addition, acidification, heat-treatment,...

Original scientific paper Pear brandy is one of the most desirable alcoholic beverages across Europe. But of all varieties, the most appreciated is Bartlett pear or Williams’s pear as it is better known. The purpose of this work was to create an objective evaluation of the influence of various construction forms of pot still, (alembic, pot and spheric) on final quality of Williams pear brandy. ...
