‘Lilleland’ Peach: A High Case-yield Processing Clingstone Peach for the ‘Halford’ Maturity Period

Phony Peach and Peach Mosaic

Effect of Phloroglucinol and Resorcinol on the Clingstone Peach Polyphenol Oxidase-catalyzed Oxidation of 4-Methylcatechol.

Phloroglucinol and resorcinol are not substrates for clingstone peach (Prunus persica) polyphenol oxidase, but they react with 4-methyl-o-quinone, produced either enzymatically or nonenzymatically, to give an intense red or red-brown color with a maximal absorption at about 470 nanometers. Several colored products were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the reaction by two-dimensional th...

PEACH: Predicting Frost Events in Peach Orchards Using IoT Technology

In 2013, 85% of the peach production in the Mendoza region (Argentina) was lost because of frost. In a couple of hours, farmers can lose everything. Handling a frost event is possible, but it is hard to predict when it is going to happen. The goal of the PEACH project is to predict frost events by analyzing measurements from sensors deployed around an orchard. This article provides an in-depth ...

Monitoring of Peach Harvest

Peach harvest workers were evaluated for exposure to azinphosmethyl residues by measuring foliar residues, urinary alkyl phosphate metabolites, plasma and erythrocyte (RBC) cholinesterase (ChE), and dermal residues using clothing and skin washes. Workers entered orchards 51 days after application and worked in treated fields for ten of the next 17 days. Dislodgeable foliar residues ranged from ...
