grafting of cucurbitaceae species to some rootstocks seems to be especially beneficial for the nitrogen nutrition of these plants. moreover, melons (cucumis melo l.) have been considered among those plants that could benefit from the addition of silicon (si) in the nutrient solution (ns). thus, two experiments were carried out in the following order: (i) it was investigated how grafting affects...

this research was conducted to determine the best temperature for storing different melon cultivars (ghasry, khaghany, tashkandy) and the best concentration and treatment length for immersion in an emulsion of sunflower oil and sodium bicarbonate. after harvest, precooling and sorting, the melons were treated with an emulsion of sunflower oil (3%, 5%) and sodium 2% sodium bicarbonate for 5 or 1...

Markets as diverse as labor, healthcare, restaurants, transportation, mobile telephony, and broadband Internet services often have providers that offer flatrate pricing; usage-based pricing; or both. Using agent-based simulation and analysis of an idealized model of a duopoly with one flat-rate and one usagebased provider, we demonstrate that flat-rate plans are unsustainable in a perfectly com...

The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility time-resolved reflectance spectroscopy (TRS) in determining ripening degree and quality orange-fleshed melons. Sixty ‘Honey Moon’ melons were measured by TRS 540-1064 nm range classified as less (LeM), medium (MeM), more (MoM) mature according increasing values μa540. MoM fruit showed yellower peel color, slightly orange pulp, higher juiciness...
