Irrigation is required for profitable commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production. Excessive or deficit soil water availability during the growing season can have adverse effects on tuber yield, quality, and storability. A field study was conducted 2018 2019 storage seasons in Central Wisconsin, a region U.S. with high volume of production, to evaluate impacts different irrigation rates...

A total of 25 short-day onion genotypes along with two recommended varieties viz. BARI Piaz-1 and Piaz-4 were evaluated for 5 ½ months at the bamboo-made ambient storage. The study was conducted Spices Research Sub-Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Institute, Faridpur, in 2020 geographic coordinates- 23̊ 11̍ N 89̊ 09̍ E. assessing their storability. All trial under accession lines such as AC Bog 409,...

In this paper glucoamylase from Aspergillus niger was immobilized by using a modified version of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA). The co-aggregates were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde; meanwhile dextrin and xanthan gum as protecting agents were added, which provides high affinity with the enzyme molecules. The immobilized glucoamylase was stable over a broad range of pH (3.0–8.0) and te...

Cellulosic biomass can be used as a feedstock for biofuel manufacturing. Pelleting of cellulosic biomass can increase its bulk density and thus improve its storability and reduce the feedstock transportation costs. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UV-A) pelleting can produce biomass pellets whose density is comparable to that processed by traditional pelleting methods (e.g. extruding, briquetting...

the type of training system and application of calcium spray have considerable effects on storability of fruits. in this study, the effects of calcium chloride spray (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g.l-1) in three times during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before harvest time on apple (malus domestica) fruits cvs. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’, which trained in three different training systems (v shape, hightech and cordo...
