The composite effects of gum arabic (GA) (5, 10, 15, and 20%) chitosan (CH) (1.0%) on the biochemical physiological characteristics banana fruits stored at 13 ± 1 °C 80 3% relative humidity (RH) for 28 days afterward 5 simulated marketing conditions (25 °C, 60% RH) were investigated. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) differences observed entire GA plus CH treatments as compared to control. However, results showed that after 33 storage, weight loss soluble solids concentration treated with 10% 1.0%...
To investigate the antifungal activity of conventional chitosan and chitosan-loaded nanoemulsions against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. isolated from different tropical fruits.In vitro results illustrated that onwards 1·5% concentration inhibited radial mycelial growth, conidial germination, sporulation dry weight mycelia for musae (Berk. & Curt) Arx. banana, gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz Sacc. papaya dragon fruits. For further investigations, were prepared, at 2·0% with 200 nm...
<p>Black raspberries (<italic>Rubus</italic> sp.) are abundantly grown and distributed widely in temperate regions of Pakistan which shows rich plant diversity fruit species. In this study wildly black raspberry fruits were harvested from Rawalakot at three different maturity stages investigated for physical, biochemical antioxidant properties. Random samples wild each stage [turning (75% red, 25% green), full red (100% red), black)] stored room temperature (22 ± 2 ℃, 46%...
Abstract Soil salinity is a serious environmental threat with varied effects on several aspects of growth and production plants. Recently, however, the utilization chitosan in agriculture has increased as it enhances resistance crop plants to different stresses factors such salinity. In this experiment, seed-priming alleviation stress was investigated common vetch ( Vicia sativa L.) using completely randomized design six replications. Chitosan pretreatment applied at three levels (2, 4, 8...
Fertilization, either in the form of organic or inorganic, always affects plant growth, yield, and nutritional quality fruit crops. Further, efficacy fertilizers depends on various factors, including area, climatic conditions, cultivars. Rawalakot has ideal conditions for growing strawberries. However, no studies related to impact different soil amendments growth habit strawberries have been conducted so far. Therefore, this study, combinations (farmyard manure (FYM) poultry (PM)) inorganic...
Plant growth regulators (PGR's) are considered potential substances which lessen the abiotic stresses and help in delaying pre-mature fruit drop (PFD). Therefore, a two-year (2021 2022) multi-locational study was designed to assess effects of three different PGR's (NAA, 2, 4-D, GA3) on PFD postharvest quality selected apple varieties ('Kashmir Amri', 'Red Delicious', 'Star Crimson') grown at locations (Bagh, Dheerkot, Rawalakot) Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK). All were applied through foliar spray...
Abstract In this review we discussed the role of mycorrhiza in organic farming. How mycorrhizal association, will help to improve and encouraging idea association plants grow yield better without applying chemical fertilizers following conventional farming practices. We how AMF plant uptake nutrients, releasing chemicals which proper, developing resistance against weeds, pest other microbes.
Growth substrates (polyester wool, rice husk, and wheat straw), along with soil as control treatment, were compared for vegetative growth, yield, quality of strawberry cv. Chandler. All growth tested showed good results in terms rate control. Strawberry plants grown polyester wool the highest (89.50%) survival to husk (70.50%), straw (64.63%), (67.56%). Moreover, a significant increase was observed among number flowers, fruits, yield wool. Besides, high amount total soluble solids (TSS)...
Gum arabic is an exudate from the stems and branches of sub-Saharan Acacia Senegal seyal trees that either naturally exude sap or are tapped to form large nodules gum seal wounds in bark tree. It a complex variable mixture arabinogalactan oligosaccharides, polysaccharides glycoproteins. neutral slightly acidic salt polysaccharide can be readily dissolved hot cold water. least viscous most soluble hydrocolloids. Therefore, it extensively used hydrocolloid industrial sector because its...
