for a comparison and grouping of 72 almond cultivars and genotypes, 30 traits including; 12 phenological and vegetative characters plus 18 traits related to nut and kernel were assessed, according to almond universal descriptor. the results revealed that some such traits as growth habit, flower color, nut weight, shell hardness and kernel taste carried high coefficients of variation. simple cor...

peanuts, an oilseed crop, contain about 46% oil. the peanut shell can be used as fuel or pallets and its dry matter as feedstuff. the whole pods consist of 1-6 kernels. shelling is done at harvest time when the pod moisture content is 5-10%. in this research, a peanut sheller was designed and developed to separate the shell from the pod. the sheller included a hopper, sheller cylinder, concave,...

One of the enduring problems in remote sensing analysis is how to exploit image texture [2]. A central question in texture analysis is the scale of the texture features analyzed, as determined by the size of the texture kernel (moving window). In a classic study, 90% of texture variability was found to be accounted for by the size of the kernel, compared to only 7% from the texture algorithm [3...

Abstract The peculiar characteristics of Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) may have corresponding effects on polymer mono composites and hybrid when used as filler in matrices. This review paper relates (PKS), palm kernel shell-mono composites, shell terms identification, sampling, analysis. purpose was to establish the properties shells their documented by various researchers a one-stop-shop document fo...

Abstract “Grada de Viseu” is an indigenous hazelnut variety from Portugal, and it considered by the producers as most important in terms of production productivity. Therefore, aim this study was to assess influence harvest year (2017/2018/2019) location (Viseu/Faia) on some physical chemical properties Viseu,” namely biometric parameters, colour, true bulk densities, texture parameters (hardnes...

AAC Justice is a white-hulled spring oat ( Avena sativa L.) cultivar. It was postulated to carry the crown rust resistance gene Pc91, which effective against prevalent races on Canadian Prairies at time of its release. had very good loose and covered smut moderate most prairie stem races, intermediate in reaction barley yellow dwarf virus. has high test weight, average kernel groat percentage p...

Researchers are currently developing new value-added uses for almond shells, an abundant agricultural by-product. Almond varieties are distinguished by processors as being either hard or soft shelled, but these two broad classes of almond also exhibit varietal diversity in shell morphology and physical characters. By defining more precisely the physical and chemical characteristics of almond sh...

Identification and selection of promising genotypes of fruit tree are primary steps in breeding programs. The economic importance of almond production in the world has stimulated numerous studies related to breeding, quantitative and qualitative traits, the increase of yield and decrease production costs. In this study, morphological and pomological characteristics of 60 cultivar and superior g...
