green fig, a fruit usually consumed as dried is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. physical properties of green fig are vital parameters as regards the design of such post harvest processing equipments as dryers, sorters and storing chambers. in this research work the effect of moisture content on fruit characteristic dimensions, geometric mean diameter, spher...

green fig, which is usually consumed as dry fruit, is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. in this study, some important physical properties of green figs including geometric mean diamter, sphericity, porosity, particle and bulk density and pressure drop across a thin bed were measured at constant moisture content of 6% (dry basis). air flow ranges used in this ...

Fig mosaic disease (FMD) is a viral disease that spreads in all Tunisian fig (Ficus carica L.) orchards. RT-PCR technique was applied to leaf samples of 29 fig accessions of 15 fig varieties from the fig germplasm collection of High Agronomic Institute (I.S.A) of Chatt-Mariem, to detect viruses associated to FMD. Analysis results show that 65.5% of the accessions (19/29) and 80.0% (12/15) of th...

Nature Communications 6:7809 doi: 10.1038/ncomms8809 (2015); Published 30 Jul 2015; Updated 28 Jan 2016 In Fig. 3 of this article, there are a number of errors in the colours used for the data points and curves. In Fig. 3b, the blue data should be green, referring to a thickness of ‘3.5 nm’, and the green data should be blue, referring to a thickness of ‘8 nm’. In Fig. 3d, the blue data should ...

recently, subcritical water extraction (swe) has been well known as a green technology for extraction of bioactive compounds from plants. in this study, subcritical water extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction (uae) and shaker solvent extraction (sse) were compared for extraction of phenolic compounds from fig (ficuscarica) pulp and skin. antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated u...

This study was focused on the adsorption of malachite green as a cationic dye on magnetite nanoparticles loaded green tea waste (MNLGTW), peanut husk (MNLPH), Azolla (MNLA) and Fig leave (MNLFL) as naturally cheap sources of adsorbent. MNLGTW, MNLPH, MNLA and MNLFL were prepared with chemical precipitation method and they were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ...

Zhang et al. (1) report that the green-up dates in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) have continuously advanced from 1982 to 2011. They retrieved green-up dates from the multiannual time-series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) using the method proposed by Piao et al. (2). This method assumes that the nongrowing season NDVI values remain constant among the different years and thus require...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect decreased spacing between 'Roxo de Valinhos' fig (Ficus carica) trees with different numbers fruiting branches on green production. Fig trees, two or four branches, were distributed in blocks, at a standard 2.5 m rows, three plants row (0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 m), densities 8,000, 5,333, 4,000 per hectare. experiment conducted during c...

In recent years, tulip flowers have been grown extensively in parks and green spaces of Urmia city (NW Iran). During the surveys in a period from 2014–16, characteristic symptoms of the blue mold rot were observed on both planted and stored tulip bulbs, as the bulbs were covered with a white to bluish-green mycelia and spores. In order to determine the fungi associated with tulip bulbs (Tulipa ...
