abstract reduction of post harvest losses in cut flowers and increasing their vase life, with consideration to high expenses of production is very necessary. one of the effective factors is presence of flowers near each other. this study was performed to investigate the interaction of some important cut flowers on their post harvest characteristics in vase solution (in combination or alone) in ...

The study was conducted at the On Farm Research Division (OFRD) farm, Rangpur from 2002-2003 to 2004-2005 to see the effect of inorganic fertilizers along with organic manure and mungbean residue on soil properties and yield of crops. For the first crop (maize), there were five treatments. After harvest of maize, mungbean and dhaincha (Sesbania) seeds were sown as per treatments. For T. Aman ri...

In this study, the effects of ascorbic, folic, and salicylic acid treatments on post-harvest quality losses in 'Franklin F1' Brussels sprouts stored at 4°C for 28 days were investigated. Weight loss (%), color values (L*, a*, b*), total soluble solids (TSS, %), pH, titrable acidity (TA, chlorophyll (mg/g), CO2 concentration (ppm) all measured 7-day intervals. When findings compared to control g...

Susceptibility of apple fruit to physiological storage disorders is affected by both pre- and postharvest factors that influence their ethylene production. In this study, the inhibitor perception, 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP), applied before after harvest, has been used investigate interactions between development in ‘Honeycrisp’ apples during storage. Preharvest 1-MCP (Harvista™) was trees, eit...
