By using biofertilizers consisting of beneficial microorganisms instead synthetic chemicals, plant growth is increased, damage to the environment largely prevented and soil fertility preserved. This study was conducted seven standard cultivars (Scarlet Spur, Red Chief, Fuji, Jeromine, Galaxy Gala, Granny Smith, Golden Reinders), which were budded onto M9 MM106 rootstocks commonly used in region...

Computer vision systems are often used in industrial quality control to offer fast, objective, non-destructive, and contactless evaluation of fruit. The senescence fresh-cut apples is strongly related the browning pulp rather than properties peel. This work addresses identification selection inside images apples, both packaged unpackaged; this a critical step towards computer system that able e...

‘Law Rome’ and ‘Granny Smith’ apples were stored hypobarically in air at 5 kPa total pressure and also in air or controlled atmosphere (CA) at 1.5 or 3% O2 with 0 or 3% CO2, for 8 months at 1°C. Fruit were placed under hypobaric storage immediately after harvest or after 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 months storage in air at 1°C to determine the effects of delaying imposition of hypobaric storage on ...

The aim of international research project European Union “DOMINO” was to develop and examine an innovative management strategy in intensive organic fruit orchards: 1) dynamic “living mulches” the row, such as cash crops with vegetative organs sod legumes between rows for weed control; 2) fertilization by recycled soil amendments leguminous increase resource use efficiency improve ecosystem serv...

in present research the effects of four levels (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mm) of each of salicylic acid and putrescine treatments on the quality improvement of granny smith apple fruit were studied. factorial experiment in randomized complete block with three replications on 16 trees, eighteen years in researcher station of agriculture university of tehran was designed. for this purpose the trees were spray...
