The effect of Aloe vera (ALV) coating was studied on chillies at 10 ± 1°C for 28 days. ALV gel-coated showed reduced weight loss, disease incidence, red chili percentage, respiration rate, electrolyte leakage, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide anion contents. maintained general acceptance in terms visual quality marketability index with higher chlorophyll contents, ascorbic acid total phenolic antioxidants. In addition, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, dismutase, peroxidase activities were...

Pakistan is blessed with a wide range of indigenous mango germplasm.Wild genotypes, growing at Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) its vicinity are valuable resource for unique genetic diversity.The DNA fingerprints this available germplasm have never been worked out.Hence, the aim study was to develop profiles 31 wild 13 cultivated genotypes country determine population structure.Number alleles per locus 51 Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers ranged from 3 9 total 296 an average 5.80 locus.The...
The aim of present research was to assess and document the practices for prevailed food safety quality standards as employed by small scale growers market managers in vegetable supply chains Pakistan. For this purpose, cross-sectional data were collected from two provinces (Sindh Punjab) Pakistan targeting commercial vegetables, i.e., potato, tomato, onion, chilies. Information regarding recorded during field survey all chain participants, growers, harvesters, processors, traders, exporters...
Green chilies are highly perishable with limited postharvest life which substantially affects its quality and market potential. The present study was part of an ACIAR-funded project aiming at evaluating the effect low cost Glad wrap film packaging (GWFP) on eight commercial green chili cultivars (Kunri-1, Longi, Talhari, Skyline 1 3, Super-hot, Advanta BSS-410) to help improve shelf during ambient storage 18±2 °C. Chilies were weighed filled in polyvinyl trays wrapped film. kept improved...
Onion (Allium cepa L.), locally famous as "Piaz", occupies a prominent place among commercial crops of Pakistan, by supplementing the income small/marginal land-hold farmers. One major constraints onion farming in Pakistan is poor nursery due to adoption traditional planting methods and overfertilization, which ultimately increases cost production loss resources. The current study, comprised two experiments, was carried out at Vegetable Area, University Agriculture Faisalabad, determine most...
