Chemicals have played an important role in improving the lives of millions of people worldwide. The use of chemicals has been integrated into every aspect of human life. In agriculture, the safe and effective use of agrochemicals, especially pesticides, has successfully been carried out to solve various problems. These include: hunger; preand postharvest losses due to insects, weeds, fungi; and...

to study the effects of postharvest treatments of spermidine and putrescine on storage quality of ‘hayward’ kiwifruit, the present research was performed. in november 2010, fruits were hand picked from fajr orchardist corporation in sari and transported to postharvest physiology laboratory. fruits were dipped for 4 minutes in either spermidine or putrescine solutions (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm), and ...

to study the effect of foliar application of humic acid on morpho-physiological traits, nutrients uptake and postharvest vase life of cut marigold, an experiment was conducted with five levels of humic acid (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) based on completely randomized design with three replications. based on the results, in compared with control, leaf number and leaf area, total phenol and aer...

The reducing sugar content of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) roots increased during 30 days of storage at 21 C and 160 days at 5 C as a result of an increase in acid invertase activity. Sucrose synthetase and neutral invertase activities were high at harvest but declined during storage, thus showing no relationship with postharvest reducing sugar accumulation in sugar beet roots. Acid alpha-gluc...
