Effects Of Controlled Atmosphere Storage On Scald Development And Postharvest Physiology Of Granny Smith Apples, Mustafa Erkan, Mustafa Pekmezci̇, Hami̇de Gübbük, Işilay Karaşahi̇n Jan 2004

Effects Of Controlled Atmosphere Storage On Scald Development And Postharvest Physiology Of Granny Smith Apples, Mustafa Erkan, Mustafa Pekmezci̇, Hami̇de Gübbük, Işilay Karaşahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of different O2 and CO_2 concentrations on the scald development and postharvest physiology of Granny Smith apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) were investigated. Apples were harvested at optimal harvest time and stored in 1% CO_2/2% O_2, 2% CO_2/2% O_2, 3% CO_2/2% O_2 and 0% CO_2/21% O_2 (control) at 0 °C and 90-92% relative humidity for 9 months. At certain intervals, samples were collected from each storage condition for physical and chemical analysis (e.g. weight loss, flesh firmness, amount of titratable acid, total soluble solids, skin color, scald development, respiration rate and decayed fruit). Respiration rates of the apples were …

Effects Of Seedling And Gf-31 Rootstocks On Yield And Fruit Quality Of Some Table Apricot Cultivars Grown In Mersin, Levent Son, Ali̇ Küden Jan 2003

Effects Of Seedling And Gf-31 Rootstocks On Yield And Fruit Quality Of Some Table Apricot Cultivars Grown In Mersin, Levent Son, Ali̇ Küden

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This experiment was conducted in Mut-Mersin between 1997 and 2001 to determine the effects of seedling and GF-31 rootstocks on the yield and quality of fruits of Tokaloğlu, Precoce De Tyrinthe, Joubert Foulon, Canino, Sakıt 6, Beliana, Priana and Early Kishnevski table apricot cultivars. Fruit yields were highest on apricot seedling rootstocks for all cultivars. Yields (kg tree^{-1}) ranged between 14.66 kg (Tokaloğlu) and 63.06 kg (Priana) on apricot seedling rootstocks and between 13.6 kg (Sakıt 6) and 41.13 kg (Priana) on Myrobalan GF-31 rootstock in 2001. Of the cultivars tested, Priana gave the highest yield (kg tree^{-1}), except in …


Volume And Value Growth Of Hardwood Trees In Wisconsin, J. Buongiorno, J.S. Hseu Jan 1993

Volume And Value Growth Of Hardwood Trees In Wisconsin, J. Buongiorno, J.S. Hseu

Aspen Bibliography

The volume of healthy trees of commercial size in the maple-birch forest type measured during the last two Forest Inventory Analysis surveys of Wisconsin grew at 2 to 3%/yr for sawtimber, and 3 to 4% for pole timber, with substantial differences among species. However, from 1967 to 1989, the real price of logs decreased or remained constant for most grades and species. The decrease was especially large for high grade logs. The only exceptions were red oak and elm, whose prices increased at i to 2 %/yr, for all grades. As a result, the average value growth rate of the …
