Biology, incidence and morphometrics of the ber fruit fly Carpomyia vesuviana Costa were studied on Indian jujube Ziziphus mauritiana Lamark. The observations revealed that female laid its eggs in cavities made by ovipositor, just beneath skin fruit. small, elongate, spindle shaped creamy white. duration lifestages (in days) were- egg 1.90, maggot 8.75, prepupal 4.43 (hr), pupal 8.40, adult lon...

‘Lingwu Changzao’ (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Lingwuchangzao), a cultivar of Ziziphus in the Rhamnaceae family, is traditional jujube Ningxia, China. For Changzao’, morphological traits are prominent characterizing fruit yield, quality, and consumer acceptance. However, measurements for cultivation limited. Therefore, objective this study to measure growing patterns selected during development. ...

Blackened jujube, as an emerging fruit processed product, was obtained from red jujube by a blackening processing of Maillard reaction with high humidity and temperature. This study to compare the volatile compounds (VOCs) fatty acids (FAs) between jujubes (RJs) blackened (BJs) six cultivars (JZ, MZ, JSXZ, HZ, YHDZ TZ) using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrom...

The mechanization of red jujube industry is a high-potential agricultural research field in China. In this study, vibration harvesting device has been developed for trees that features adjustable frequency and amplitude. designed to make vibrate with varying diameters by utilizing different frequencies amplitudes according the tree’s size such jujubes can be harvested efficiently. study complet...

Effects of chitosan coating with cinnamon oil on the physiological attributes and preservation quality of China jujube fruits during storage at 4°C for 60 days were investigated. Results indicated that weight loss and decay of jujube fruits were significantly reduced by chitosan-oil coating during the period of 60-day storage, which also exhibited a quite beneficial effect on maintaining the se...

According to Ayurveda there are large numbers of traditional medicinal uses of Ziziphus species and the reasons behind the medicinal potential of this plant are because of some allied substances such as ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin and bioflavonoids and pectin-A. Therefore, this plant is a valuable source of phytochemicals, bioactives, vitamins etc. which makes it to be effective in curi...

Wherever humans have lived, they have made berries a part of their diet. Most of these have never been developed beyond local markets but some have become economically important crops. In this paper, the berry crops have been divided into four groups based on their current international popularity and potential future value. An overview of the status of development, current production, and futu...

Nowadays in agriculture the labour work is very important. This paper is proposed to reduce the labour work in fruit picking by using the image clustering algorithm in a machine vision system. For plucking fruits such as citrus, apple, jujube, etc., so many different classification techniques were proposed. This paper focus on the automatic detection of the pomegranate fruits in an orchard. The...

Fungi are important soil components as both decomposers and plant symbionts and play a major role in ecological and biogeochemical processes. However, little is known about the richness and structure of fungal communities. DNA sequencing technologies allow for the direct estimation of microbial community diversity, avoiding culture-based biases. We therefore used 454 pyrosequencing to investiga...
