Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy. The majority population earn their living through agricultural activities, large-scale and small-scale farming. This study seeks to reveal how government’s COVID-19 containment measures have affected sector impact on farmers’ lifestyle changes. employed qualitative research methods, with primary secondary data sources, conducted in-depth interview...

Frost exposure is a particular challenge for cultivating perennial crops, whose adaptive capacity to weather and climate impacts limited. Irrigation common means of mitigating damage, but draws on limited water resources, costly, energy intensive. Here we examined the projected impact change incidence frost temperatures during coldest winters, defined by 98th percentile cool season (November–Ap...

In this research, we aimed to isolate and identify native strains of Trichoderma spp. with potential activity against avocado pathogens (Neofusicoccum parvum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Diaporthe sp., Phomopsis perseae). Strains were isolated from roots soil obtained orchards different regions Mexico. Twenty-five isolated, which six (TSMICH7, TSMICH8, TRMICH9, TSMICH10, TSMICH15, TRJAL25) ...

Multi-stakeholder platforms facilitate interaction between stakeholders in the agricultural innovation system. A multi-stakeholder platform is essential to enhance of avocado value chain and planting as a climate-smart practice. Avocados can make significant contribution food security nutrition. Research has shown that research on agriculture mainly focuses scientific technological solutions, r...

The study of flavors and fragrances is a topic rising interest from both marketing scientific perspectives. Over the last few years, cultivation avocados has accelerated in Greece, with production levels elevated by 300%. There been increasing attention number growers consumers on avocado oil, volatiles which form key part consumers’ purchase decisions. A previously unevaluated Zutano cultivar ...

Avocado is a commercially important fruit tree which sold worldwide. Originating in subtropical regions of the South America, this species now grown worldwide and sometimes exposed to cold temperatures. Specifically, frost stress harms crop yield its quality. While it known general that photosynthetic apparatus changes response conditions, there still not much information regarding sporadic str...

Harvested avocado fruits can be potentially exposed both to pre- and post-harvest factors that may influence the susceptibility of fruit quality loss. Regular air (RA) storage consists approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.3% carbon dioxide, smaller amounts some other gasses. A controlled atmosphere (CA) is a changed used delay respiration reduce fungal physiological deterioration, it an ap...
