DIAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE INCREASES YIELD OF LOWBUSH BLUEBERRIES

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM No . 9101 QUALITY MAINTENANCE IN FRESH LOWBUSH BLUEBERRIES . III .

SUMMARY The effects of pre-process temperatures (5, 12, 19 and 26 o C), pre-process delay times (3, 9, 21 and 45 hr) and storage times (7, 14 and 21 days) at 0 o C on the quality of stored lowbush blueberries were examined. All treatments were considered both independently and interactively. Quality after storage was defined by changes in 10 attributes, concluded that, under conditions when imp...

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM No. 8904 QUALITY MAINTENANCE IN FRESH LOWBUSH BLUEBERRIES. I. CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND SELECTED LITERATURE

SUMMARY This Technical Memorandum provides a comprehensive and critical review of the available literature on the primary processing, storage and quality of fresh lowbush (wild) blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Ait. and V. myrtilloides Michx.). Areas of discussion include: pre-process cooling, mechanical damage, washing, storage temperature and quality parameters. Recommendations for furthe...

Diammonium citrate and diammonium phosphate as sources of dietary nitrogen for growing-finishing swine.

Flight activity of USDA-ARS Russian honey bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) during pollination of lowbush blueberries in Maine.

Flight activity was compared in colonies of Russian honey bees, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), and Italian bees during commercial pollination of lowbush blueberries (principally Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) in Washington Co., ME, in late May and early June in 2003 and 2004. Colonies of the two stocks were managed equally in Louisiana during autumn through early spring preceding obse...

Transmission Electron Microscopic Study of Tetracalcium Phosphate Surface-Treated in Diammonium Hydrogen Phosphate Solution

The present study investigates the changes in microstructure and microchemistry (particularly Ca/P ratio) during whisker formation on the surface of a monolithic TTCP powder in a basic phosphoric acid solution. The XRD results indicate that when TTCP powder was treated for 10min or less in (NH4)2HPO4 solution, the monolithic TTCP phase remains unchanged. When treated for 30min, apatite whiskers...
