Abstract

Fresh-cut kiwifruit is difficult to store due to the characteristics of thin and juicy rind, which results in the great limitation of development and utilization. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) combined with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)...

Abstract

Essential oils (EOs) are of commercial importance for medicine, food, cosmetics, the perfume industry, and agriculture. In plants, EOs, like the wax cover, serve as protection against abiotic stresses, such as high temperatures and water deficiency. The use of spraying with exogenous hormones of...

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The present study examined the impact of reducing the 'sink' on the 'source' in On-palms with a bunch number greater than eight. The capacity of leaves and fruit, as well as assimilate loading and unloading in phloem, restrict plant growth and yield. The study evaluated yield...

Abstract

Improving fruit quality for fresh consumption in citrus is an increasingly important challenge. The obtainment of adequate fruit size and of a regular production over years represent important aspects that can mostly be regulated by agronomical techniques. As known, there are several strategies...

Abstract

Apple trees set many more fruit than desired, requiring a crop load adjustment to achieve acceptable fruit size in the season and an adequate return bloom, thus avoiding biennial bearing. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different plant growth regulators as 6-benzyladenine ...

Abstract

'Kinnow' mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) fruit needs to be thinned to increase the availability of photosynthates used to increase fruit size, fruit quality, profitability and can also help to overcome alternate bearing. This study evaluated 'Kinnow' fruit thinning using three chemical agents...
