this research was conducted to determine the best temperature for storing different melon cultivars (ghasry, khaghany, tashkandy) and the best concentration and treatment length for immersion in an emulsion of sunflower oil and sodium bicarbonate. after harvest, precooling and sorting, the melons were treated with an emulsion of sunflower oil (3%, 5%) and sodium 2% sodium bicarbonate for 5 or 1...

Frozen milk can help producers overcome the seasonality of goat production, low production and short lactation periods, avoid discarding during some special periods. We investigated effects combination between freezing (cryogenic refrigerator −16 to −20°C or ultra-cryogenic −76 −80°C) thawing (homeothermy 20 25°C refrigeration 2 4°C) on nutritive compositions physicochemical characteristics raw...

ABSTRACT The use of desiccants allows to anticipate cowpea harvest at a time closer physiological maturity. saflufenacil and flumioxazin promote the drying falling leaves loss water from seeds. This study aimed evaluate effects doses applied crop on production quality seeds after storage for six months. Two experiments were carried out in split-plot design (5 × 2). In first experiment, main fac...

iran is one of the main date (phoenix dactylifera) producing countries in the world. however, little information is available on the pollen viability and favorable storage conditions of iranian male date cultivars. this study was conducted to estimate the best in vitro pollen germination of three male date palm cultivars, `ghanami’, `samsmavi’ and `gheibani’ using various doses of boric acid (0...

handling of endodontic sealers is greatly dependent on their elasticity and flow ability. we compared the viscoelastic properties of three root canal sealers.ah plus (dentsply, de trey, konstanz, germany), endofill (dentsply hero, petrópolis, rio de janeiro, brazil) and ah26 (dentsply, de trey, konstanz, germany) were mixed according to the manufacturers' instructions. the resulted pastes were ...
