Blanching is a prerequisite for preservation of green leafy vegetables. However, it may cause partial destruction of some nutrients like ascorbic acid which is highly oxidizable with time in the post harvest period on atmospheric exposure. The objective of the present study is to identify a suitable blanching treatment and conditions (temperature, time and media) for commonly consumed green lea...

In one of the few studies of its kind, Cornell researchers Eric Nelson and Cheryl Craft (Dept. Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) report the successful suppression of dollar spot in both preventative and curative applications by a biological control agent, the bacteria Enterobacter cloacae, in field experiments on putting greens in New York. While laboratory and greenhou...

BACKGROUND Dalmatia is an interesting place to study the use of wild greens as it lies at the intersection of influence of Slavs, who do not usually use many species of wild greens, and Mediterranean culinary culture, where the use of multiple wild greens is common. The aim of the study was to document the mixtures of wild green vegetables which are sold in all the vegetable markets of Dalmatia...

A data processing scheme is proposed to deconvolve the recording footprint noise in the migration image. For computational convenience, we assume a far eld approximation and shift invariance in the Greens function. Preliminary results with synthetic data show that the footprint signature can be partially suppressed by deconvolution with the migration Greens function. However, much work needs to...

Subsurface drainage involves both intensity and capacity attributes. Intensity of subsurface drainage refers to how rapidly a root zone drains. Capacity, on the other hand, refers to the extent of excess (gravitational) water removal from the root zone. Consequently, discussions of putting green drainage often become confused since the expression improved drainage can imply improved drainage ca...
