Calcium chloride application on fruits maintains the firmness of fruits, decreases storage breakdown and rot, extends shelf-life, increases vitamin C calcium content. Blackberries have low post-harvest durability due to intrinsic characteristics their mainly high respiratory rate firmness, which causes problems in production chain fresh fruits. The current study aimed evaluate effects pre-harvest ‘Tupy’ blackberry (Rubus spp.). A randomized block design for a factorial scheme was used, i.e....

O juazeiro é uma planta endêmica da caatinga e seus frutos apresentam alto valor funcional nutricional.Contudo, em função de seu perfil climatérico, quando colhidos, rápida degradação.Face ao exposto, objetivou-se avaliar o uso própolis cera carnaúba na

Choosing cultivars that require less chilling temperatures to overcome dormancy is crucial, for example, peaches grow in subtropical areas, which not an appropriate climate them.Thus, alternative techniques are necessary induce sprouting.Yet there many available products market, restricting options fruit growers a reduced number of chemical molecules, often harm the health applicators.Therefore, this study aimed assess phenological cycles and productive performance three peach cultivars,...

In Brazil, the improvement of papaya agribusiness is correlated to estimation genetic parameters and evaluation agronomic descriptors; thus enabling less favourable areas for development implementation crops.Therefore, current study aimed evaluate quantitative descriptors estimate in genotypes grown under subtropical climate state São Paulo.The experimental design was randomized block.The units were grouped into seven blocks five plants each three treatments, which consisted different...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance and fruit quality 'Maçã' banana cultivar.A field experiment conducted effect phosphorus (P) on cultivar.The area presents a subtropical climate, where mean temperature is 22°C; rainfall 1377 mm.The from November 2012 May 2014.The design totally randomized, consisting six treatments (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 120 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) seven repetitions.The results indicated that plant height, pseudo-stem diameter, number live leaves, yield...

The 'FHIA-18' hybrid banana is an alternative for producers as it resistant to Black Sigatoka and Panama disease. However, few studies report the nutritional requirement of this hybrid, especially phosphorus. It known that efficiency phosphorus use can be improved, reducing need application, depending on genotype cultivated. Therefore, study aimed evaluate yield mineral nutrition phosphate fertilization. A orchard with cultivar was conducted a Typical Red Latosol. Then, triple superphosphate...

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the banana cultivars for their agronomic yield and starch characteristics. experiment carried out in a randomized complete block design, with factorial arrangement two ('BRS Conquista' 'BRS Platina') crop cycles, three plants per treatment, five replicates. Fruit quality were evaluated. showed smaller fruit; however, it had greater marketable bunch weight than Platina'. Starches differed main physicochemical characteristics, except X-ray...
