Machine vision system for counting macadamia nuts
A need has been identified for more advanced technology to assist harvesting in the macadamia nut industry. An accurate automated method for counting nuts as they are harvested is required to replace manual labour in varietal strain investigation. A machine vision approach of counting the nuts in real time as they are collected has been chosen. This paper presents a machine vision system that i...
متن کاملAbscission responses to moisture stress, auxin transport inhibitors, and ethephon.
The three abscission-inducing agents - water stress, Ethephon, and auxin transport inhibitors-acted synergistically to promote leaf fall in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). However, the synergism was primarily between stress and Ethephon. Auxin transport inhibitors did not promote the effect of stress alone, only promoted the effect of Ethephon in well watered plants and gave a very small promot...
متن کاملEthephon induced abscission in mango: physiological fruitlet responses
Fruitlet abscission of mango is typically very severe, causing considerable production losses worldwide. Consequently, a detailed physiological and molecular characterization of fruitlet abscission in mango is required to describe the onset and time-dependent course of this process. To identify the underlying key mechanisms of abscission, ethephon, an ethylene releasing substance, was applied a...
متن کاملEthephon As a Potential Abscission Agent for Table Grapes: Effects on Pre-Harvest Abscission, Fruit Quality, and Residue
Some plant growth regulators, including ethephon, can stimulate abscission of mature grape berries. The stimulation of grape berry abscission reduces fruit detachment force (FDF) and promotes the development of a dry stem scar, both of which could facilitate the production of high quality stemless fresh-cut table grapes. The objective of this research was to determine how two potential abscissi...
متن کاملSerum lipid effects of a high-monounsaturated fat diet based on macadamia nuts.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have identified potential beneficial effects of eating nuts, most of which have substantial amounts of monounsaturated fats. Macadamia nuts are 75% fat by weight, 80% of which is monounsaturated. OBJECTIVE To examine variations in serum lipid levels in response to a high-monounsaturated fat diet based on macadamia nuts. METHODS A randomized crossover trial of three...
