AgroTRACE: A Complete Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Traceability System
(2022)The fresh food industry recognizes the importance of traceability and food safety; however, some sectors are considered more advanced than others in implementing the relevant processes throughout the supply chain. At the ... -
Analysis of microclimate and cucumber fruit yield in a screenhouse and an evaporatively cooled greenhouse in a semi-arid location
(2018)The microclimate and cucumber crop response in a screenhouse and in an evaporatively cooled greenhouse were studied in Oman during winter/spring and spring/summer cultivation periods. Measurements were carried out in two ... -
Application of variable rate fertilizer in a commercial apple orchard
(2013)The spatial variability of yield in an apple orchard is high due to the inherent soil variability and the impact of the environment on the trees. One practice of precision agriculture is the variable rate application (VRA) ... -
The beneficial endophytic fungus fusarium solani strain K alters tomato responses against spider mites to the benefit of the plant
(2018)Beneficial microorganisms are known to promote plant growth and confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors. Soil-borne beneficial microbes in particular have shown potential in protecting plants against pathogens ... -
Calibration of a growth model for tomato seedlings (TOMSEED) based on heuristic optimisation
(2015)A mechanistic growth model for tomato seedlings cultivated in unheated beds is developed, based on modifications of existing tomato growth models. Photosynthetically active radiation at crop level, air temperature and CO2 ... -
The chemical composition, nutritional value and antimicrobial properties of: Abelmoschus esculentus seeds
(2017)Okra is a vegetable crop usually used for its immature pods. The harvest stage (fruit size) depends on consumers' preferences and the fruit that does not meet market requirements is being disposed of. Considering the short ... -
Chemical composition, nutritional value and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes in relation to harvest stage
(2018)The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fruit size on nutritional value, chemical composition and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes. For this purpose, pods from four okra cultivars ... -
Chemometric study and optimization of extraction parameters in single-drop microextraction for the determination of multiclass pesticide residues in grapes and apples by gas chromatography mass spectrometry
(2009)A simple and rapid single-drop microextraction method coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (SDME-GC/MS) for the determination of 20 pesticides with different physicochemical properties in grapes and apples ... -
Crop reflectance measurements for nitrogen deficiency detection in a soilless tomato crop
(2018)Early detection of nitrogen deficit stress is essential to effectively and precisely manage crop production under greenhouse conditions. This article demonstrates the use of hyperspectral machine vision as a non-contact ... -
Delineation of management zones in an apple orchard: Correlations between yield and soil properties
(2011)In the present paper the yield and soil spatial variability in an apple orchard was studied. Apples were collected manually and placed in plastic bins along the tree rows. Yield per ten trees was weighted and the geographical ... -
Development and Evaluation of a Fuzzy Inference System and a Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System for Grading Apple Quality
(2018)In this research work, a fuzzy inference system (FIS) and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were developed to classify apple total quality based on some fruit quality properties, i.e., fruit mass, flesh ... -
Diagnosis of Induced Resistance State in Tomato Using Artificial Neural Network Models Based on Supervised Self-Organizing Maps and Fluorescence Kinetics
(2022)The aim of this study was to develop three supervised self-organizing map (SOM) models for the automatic recognition of a systemic resistance state in plants after application of a resistance inducer. The pathosystem ... -
Does economic crisis force to consumption changes regarding fruits and vegetables?
(2017)This study focuses on consumers' behaviour towards Fruits and Vegetables (FVs) under economic crisis. The implementation of both factor analysis and logistic regression reveals discrete consumer groups, affected and not ... -
Effect of grafting and modified atmosphere packaging on eggplant quality parameters during storage
(2005)The physico-chemical parameters (pH, mechanical firmness and vitamin C) and sensory parameters of grafted and ungrafted eggplant plants were studied in relation to storage time (up to 17 days at 10°C). Eggplant plants of ... -
Environmental assessment of precision farming techniques in a pear orchard
(2017)Pears require a substantial number of inputs for satisfactory yield and quality. High inputs increase costs, reducecompetitiveness and induce environmental problems. In thecurrent study the environmental profile of a pear ... -
Flower spatial variability in an apple orchard
(2009)Precision pomology is the application of site-specific management into orchards. Orchards produce high value crops and the application of site-specific management has high potential. Finding plant or soil characteristics ... -
Hyperspectral machine vision as a tool for water stress severity assessment in soilless tomato crop
(2018)Early detection of water deficit stress is essential for efficient crop management. In this study, hyperspectral machine vision was used as a non-contact technique for detecting changes in spectral reflectance of a soilless ... -
Impact of sewage sludge, nanoparticles, and clay minerals addition on cucumber growth, phosphorus uptake, soil phosphorus status, and potential risk of phosphorus loss
(2021)There is little information about the impact of sewage sludge, nanoparticles, and clay minerals on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) growth and phosphorus content in different plant parts. In this study we treated a soil with ... -
The in vitro antimicrobial activity assessment of ultrasound assisted Lycium barbarum fruit extracts and pomegranate fruit peels
(2019)The present study aimed at assessing the antimicrobial properties of a water and ethanol ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of dry goji berries and of lyophilised powdered pomegranate peel in vitro. Minimum inhibitory ... -
Integrated biodepuration of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry using biobeds: Bioaugmentation, risk assessment and optimized management
