The absence of an increase in the interest young population to enter agricultural sector has impact on amount food production each year. This happens because people think that farming profession is not promising for survival. One developments can attract by utilizing technology such as smart farming. paper proposes initial modeling before implementing analyzing characteristics object be planted...

As global warming increases day/night temperatures as well frequencies of heat waves, studying physiological responses in long-term stress is required for sustainable yield production the future. In this study, effects on photosynthetic, morphological, and parameters three cherry tomato accessions, HR17, HR22, HR24, were evaluated. The experiment was conducted under two temperature greenhouse c...

To evaluate the ripening-dependent changes in phytonutrients, seven commercial cultivars (two general and five cherry) of tomatoes were cultivated under greenhouse conditions. Fruits were harvested at breaker, turning, pink, light red, and red stages of each cultivar, and antioxidant contents, color attributes, and antioxidant activities were measured. During ripening process, lycopene content ...

BACKGROUND Tomato fruits contain a high level of antioxidants such as vitamin C, polyphenols (including flavonoids), and carotenoids (such as lycopene and β-carotene). Some studies have shown the higher level of bioactive compounds in organically produced tomato fruits compared to conventional ones, but not all studies were consistent in this respect. The levels of carotenoids and phenolics are...

Atmospheric cold plasma (ACP) represents a potential alternative to traditional methods for non-thermal decontamination of foods. In this study, the antimicrobial efficacy of a novel dielectric barrier discharge ACP device against Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes inoculated on cherry tomatoes and strawberries, was examined. Bacteria were spot inoculat...
