Pheromone delivery systems have a wide range of applications, including pest control, crop protection, and animal behavior control. Introduction of Gel Materials for the Release of Pheromone Gel materials are materials that have a three-dimensional network structure, resulting in a viscous and cohesive consistency. ...
With pheromone activity screening service, the clients can evaluate the effectiveness of their pheromones in a variety of settings, including: - Agriculture: Pheromones can be used to control insect pests and to increase pollination rates in crops. - Pest Management: Pheromones can be used to detect and monitor insect pests and to attract or repel them from ...
Furthermore, gas sensing is vital within vertical farming and commercial greenhouse control systems. Gas sensors can control the carbon dioxide concentration for optimal crop growth, a process which will increase the quantity and efficiency of vegetation production and protect the food supply chain. ...
The difference in experiencing eating well-ripened fruits or under/over-ripe specimens is so dramatic that perceived ripeness has a strong influence on consumer purchasing behaviour and the probability of them purchasing a fruit.1 As there may be a significant time period between fruit picking and its arrival on the supermarket shelf, it is ...
While her main focus during her career has been on the nut crops, namely almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, it increasingly spread to other systems for which both mating disruption and monitoring tools are used: grapes, citrus, pome, and stone fruits. During our conversation, she told me more about the use of mating disruption on the US West Coast, gave some advice on the use of ...

More than two decades of partnership between Smiths Detection and the French General Directorate of Customs and Excise to keep the French borders safe Growing Global Trade And Sophisticated Threats The General Directorate of Customs and Excise (French Customs), also known as Direction Générale des Douanes et Droits Indirects, is the French law enforcement agency responsible for ...
Some common applications for a CO2 detector are in monitoring indoor air quality, landfill, process control and controlled environment horticulture. Despite the fact that Carbon Dioxide is difficult to detect, Edinburgh Sensors’ range of CO2 detectors allow the gas to be strongly absorbed as a result of non-dispersive infrared technology. ...

Provide Alternative Food Sources Instead of covering your fruit with netting, try giving them something else to snack on. Placing bird feeders filled with seed or grain on the outskirts of your property could prevent feathered thieves from stealing your fruit. ...
The treatments included in the test (each of 3 repetitions of approximately 70 fruits) were: Control (normal chilling) Delay in refrigeration (10ºC for 48 h before being transferred to 0.5ºC) Controlled atmosphere (CA) (2.5% O2 and 2% CO2) Controlled atmosphere combined with refrigeration delay (10ºC for 48 h ...
Citrus fruit exhibit low levels of ethylene production and are classified as non-climacteric fruit. ...
In line with this philosophy, Le Verger de la Blottière has been using Bioconservation solutions to remove ethylene for many years. Apples and pears are fruits that produce significant amounts of ethylene. Ethylene is known as the ripening hormone, because it regulates all processes associated with fruits’ ripening and senescence. It is a natural ...
Birds, such as Starlings, Cockatoos, Currawong, Crows, Rosellas and Wattlebirds, damage the grapes. Without any bird control, this can lead to a significant reduction of crops (1-2 tonne per week) and increased risk of disease (reducing the quality of the fruit). Historically, birds have been controlled via netting. The vineyard was 100% netted ...
It can be stored for up to 9 months in controlled atmosphere conditions in refrigeration chambers, a period in which the effect of ethylene on the fruit can lead to a major loss of quality. ...

Apple and pear fruits stored at low temperatures may suffer from chilling injury symptoms, caused by oxidative stress. Application of a low-oxygen (LO 2 ) atmosphere (0.5%) for 10 d at 20°C or 500 ppb 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at 20°C for 24 h, prior to cold storage at 0°C, were equally effective in reducing superficial scald on ‘Granny Smith’ apples, after six months of ...
Quality characteristics considered were weight loss percentage, percentage of decayed fruit, firmness, colour, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity and vitamin C. The results showed that within each ripening stage, the treated fruit remained better than that of control during storage periods. It can also be deduced that guava ...
No packed and MA packed also were studied before fruit stored at 5°C and 80% RH. Combining hot water and chemical treatments with MAP had greater effect on control of fruit decay, reduction of chilling injury and also to extend fruit shelf life than individual application of each treatment. Shelf life roughly doubled in ...
This study was conducted with the aim to identify causes of mechanical defects in banana fruit supply chain in Zimbabwe and to also establish critical control points at which incidence of the mechanical fruit defects can be minimised in the chain. ...
