Evaluation the Preharvest Application of Iron and Nitrogen on Some Qualitative Characteristics of Two Apple Cultivars during Cold Storage

Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

Traditional versus modern apple cultivars – a comparison of juice composition

Apples are rich in components that are important for human health, such as polyphenols, organic acids and microelements, but their chemical composition varies with different apple cultivars. We aimed to find out if there is any superiority in traditionally grown apple cultivars in terms of their fruits’ bioactive components content. Juice from two traditionally grown apple cultivars, ‘Mutsu’ an...

Behaviour of hexaconazole ( Contaf 5 % EC ) residues on two cultivars of apple grown under temperate conditions of Kashmir , India

-1 The residues of hexaconazole dissipated below quantification level of 0.008 μg g and waiting periods of 8.13 and 7.45 days are suggested for Golden Delicious and Starkrimson cultivars at recommended dose in Kashmir. Theoret ical m a x i m u m r e s i d u e contribution TMRC (the theoret ical maximum amount of a pesticide in the daily diet of an average person) values were found to be 17.57 a...

The Variability of Juvenile Period, Fruits Size and Response to Diseases Attack on F1 Interspecific Apple Hybrids and the Efficiency of Selection

Interspecific hybridizations represent one of the apple breeding methods by which a wide variability can be achieved, useful for creating new cultivars. The study of 2190 interspecific hybrids, obtained from 25 combinations among crab apple species (Malus coronaria, M. floribunda, M. niedzwetzkyana, M. zumi, M. prunifolia) and different apple cultivars, points out a large variability of the F1 ...
