Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN-SEASON ASSESSMENT OF WHEAT CROP HEALTH USING VEGETATION INDICES BASED ON GROUND MEASURED HYPER SPECTRAL DATAKhalid Ali Al-Gaadi, Virupakshagouda Patil, ElKamil Tola et al.An experiment on a 50 ha center pivot field was conducted to determine the Vegetation Indices (VI’s) that were helpful in assessing the in-season performance of wheat crop treated with graded levels of irrigation water and fertilizers. The irrigation levels were at 100, 90, 80 and 70% evapotranspiration (ETc); however, the fertilizer levels of N: P: K kg-1ha included 300:150:200 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINCREASED NUTRIENT SOLUTION CONCENTRATION DURING EARLY FRUIT DEVELOPMENT STAGES ENHANCES PUNGENCY AND PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA-LYASE ACTIVITY IN HOT CHILI (CAPSICUM ANNUUM L.)Parichat Dittakit, Thammasak ThongketThe effect of increased nutrient concentration during different fruit development stages on the yield, pun-gency and PAL enzyme activity in hot chili cv. ’Super hot’ was studied during August 2009-January 2010. The seedlings were planted in plastic containers containing 20 L of coconut-coir-dust substrate placed inside a plastic-roofed net house and received Resh’s Tropical Dry Summer nutrient solution at a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2013 · 7,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of Days After Anthesis of Developing Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Fruit from Blossom-End Changes in ColorTiznado-Hernández Martín Ernesto, Delia Moreno-Velázquez, Angel Javier Ojeda-Contreras, Andrés Ochoa-MezaThe development of mathematical models to predict the physiological status of a developing fruit can be a useful tool to reduce the variation in fruit response to postharvest treatments. The objective of this study was to develop a mathematical model to predict Days After Anthesis (DAA) in tomato fruit from changes in the blossom end color. Around 160 tomato flowers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Compositions and Resistant Starch Content in Starchy FoodsAnuchita MoongngarmResistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2013 · 15,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlowering and Fruit Set Under Malaysian Climate of Jatropha curcas L.Noor Camellia Noor Alam, Thohirah Lee Abdullah, Nur Ashikin Psyquay AbdullahProblem statement: In recent years Jatropha curcas has drawn the world’s attention as it has the potential to replace fossil fuel as biodiesel. However, the biggest setback in Jatropha cultivation in Malaysia is the low percentage of fruit set and the high ratio of male to female flowers. In order to further understand the flowering and fruit characteristics of Jatropha, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 9,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Maturity Stage of Papaya Maradol on Physiological and Biochemical ParametersLaura E. Gayosso-García Sancho, Elhadi M. Yahia, Miguel Angel Martínez-Téllez, Gustavo Adolfo González-AguilarProblem statement: Nowadays, the worldwide increase in diseases has motivated consumers to increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, in response to various research reports indicating that fruits and vegetables can help prevent certain types of illnesses, due to their potentially high antioxidant properties. We evaluated the effect of the stage of ripeness of papaya fruit (Carica papaya L.) on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChilling Injury in Mamey Sapote Fruit (Pouteria sapota): Biochemical and Physiological ResponsesGuillermo O. Pérez-Tello, Miguel Ángel Martínez-Téllez, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro, Gustavo A. González-AguilarProblem statement: Cold storage is needed in order to delay senescence and achieve a longer commercial life of tropical fruits like mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota), therefore, the physiological and biochemical responses of this fruit to cold storage were evaluated. Approach: Samples from different storage temperature (20, 10 and 2°C) were taken at five-day intervals and Chilling Injury Index (CII), decay … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Concentrations and Applications of Calcium on Storage Life and Physicochemical Characteristics of Papaya (Carica Papaya L.)T.M.M. Mahmud, A. Al Eryani-Raqeeb, S.R. Syed Omar et al.Papaya (Carica Papaya L.) fruits index 2 were treated with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5% solutions of calcium chloride by dipping and vacuum infiltration (-33 Kpa) or untreated (0%) as control. Effects of these treatments were evaluated on storage life and postharvest quality characteristics of papaya. After 21 days of storage at 13±1°C, the fruits were removed from storage for physicochemical … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 9,652 accessesView PDFCite
