Most fruits ripen due to the action of ethylene. Ethylene is the hormone known as "the ripening hormone". It is produced naturally in fruits causing the color, firmness, flavor and characteristic aromas of each fruit to change. However, once the fruit or vegetable has been collected, ethylene does not act in the same way in all cases. Depending on how ethylene intervenes on fruits, they are ...
When brothers Wyatt and Frank Scott returned home to their Lucama, North Carolina family farm after earning degrees from NC State University in 2016, they planted 18 acres of sweet potatoes. This year, 200 acres of the root vegetable will be hand harvested off of 46” beds and they have plans to build infrastructure to expand even further. It has become the farm’s number two cash crop ...
Recent years ecological food is becoming more and more popular. Society wants to eat healthy products, of known origin and free of harmful chemicals that have an impact on our health. Where to get such food? The answer is simple – you should ask the source, which in this case are farmers. Despite the demand for ecological products is large, only a few producers decide to grow ecological ...
WEREMCZUK company cares for the agriculture development. The offer for vegetable farmers is designed both for growing and harvesting vegetables. Top lifting trailed harvester Particularly, the top-lifting root vegetable harvesters- ALINA SUPERNOVA and ALINA ECO II are noteworthy. ...
The Tri-Flow Dust Collector Design is preferred throughout industry. A manufacturer of floor coverings used vent filters on raw material silos. One, fitted to a silo that was filled and emptied constantly, was subject to vibration and fluctuations in pressure and dust loading. It had to be lifted to ground level every three months so bags could be changed and cages repaired. The company ...
Dr Wills has published more than 300 research works on different issues related to post-harvest technologies for fruits and vegetables. For some time now, his research projects have centred on ethylene gas, its effects and the benefits of eliminating it during the post-harvest of fruits, vegetables and flowers. ...
Eco Environmental were approached to advise the end client on what would be the least visible bird deterrent to prevent pigeons from roosting on the front façade of Garrick Theatre in London once the exterior refurbishment had been completed. As there were large openings around the ornate balcony the only real option was our Anti Bird Net System, which would provide a barrier across these ...
The present paper deals with ecological study with reference to the accumulation of toxic heavy metals in the fishes and vegetation collected along the Bhavan's College Lake of Andheri, Mumbai. It was observed that the yearly average concentration of Pb, Zn, Cd, As, Cu and Fe in vegetation samples were 0.08, 0.15, 0.006, 0.45, 7.73 and 52.4 ppm respectively, which was higher than 0.05, 0.05, ...
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) causes numerous health problems in developing countries, including the subSaharan Africa. VAD is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in children, and also affects lactating mothers and the elderly. The main objectives of the study were to identify, collect and analyse traditional, leafy vegetables for provitamin A carotenoids and tocopherols. A total of ...
Previous research showed marketing and consumption losses of fruit and vegetables in Brazil to be 18% of turnover. This study develops a scoring guide that can assist commercial establishments and households in evaluating and mitigating the loss potential for fruit and vegetables within their operations. The scoring model separately addresses losses related to products and losses related to ...
Active sensor reflectance assessments of corn (Zea mays L.) canopy N status are advocated to direct variable N applications and improve N use efficiency (NUE). Our goals were to determine: (i) growth stage and (ii) sensor vegetation index with greatest sensitivity in assessing N status and grain yield. Variable crop N was generated by supplying N at different amounts and times in three field ...
ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to evaluate the potential cultivation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) with domestic wastewater effluents with different levels of treatment from a compact WWTP in Brazil. Vegetables were grown in five treatments: nutrient solution (control), secondary effluent diluted 50%, secondary effluent not diluted, tertiary effluent UV irradiated, and UASB ...
Containment treatments are often performed to prevent, or significantly reduce, the migration of contaminants in soils or ground water. Containment is necessary whenever contaminated materials are to be buried or left in place at a site. In general, containment is performed when extensive subsurface contamination at a site precludes excavation and removal of wastes because of potential hazards, ...
