Summary: In the study of plant physiology, the determination of plant photosynthesis is one of the important research work. It is generally measured by measuring the value of illuminance and photosynthetically active radiation, and the measurement of illuminance and photosynthetically active radiation requires a light sensor and photosynthetically active radiation sensor.To ...

Nothing says summer like biting into a juicy, perfectly ripe strawberry. A bright red package, with a soft, sweet aroma and a firm texture are all the signatures that the fruit is ripe and ready to be eaten. However, with just a day or two more, a fruit that may have been a delightful treat can become a mushy, flavourless mess and home to mould. Fruit ripening gas can play a big part in ensuring ...
Using the WET Sensor to optimise growing conditions and irrigation efficiency in high volume strawberry and raspberry production Clock House farm nestles in the rolling hills of Kent, a few miles south of Maidstone in the UK. The expansive 250 acre farm grows a variety of fruit, including strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Notable innovators in horticulture, Clock House Farm were one ...

Ecophysiologists use leaf area measurements when researching crops or natural ecosystems. Crop optimization: Agricultural practices aim to improve growing conditions for plants. ...
Horticulture lighting research has been conducted on young plants (germination, seedlings, plugs and cuttings) for many years. Michigan State University published a series of articles in Greenhouse Grower (see references below) on bedding plant seedlings. In their research, Drs. Wollaeger and Runkle experimented with different LED wavelengths and ...
Ethylene handling would allow storage of non-climacteric products at temperatures higher than recommended. A scientific paper recently published (1) quantifies the relationship between ethylene concentration, temperature and post-harvest life of different non-climacteric vegetables (pak choi, broccoli, mint and green beans). The results show that an efficient reduction of ethylene levels would ...
From the new Quantitative Information of the Greenhouse Horticulture prove the differences in cost between whether or not CHP use almost to fall away, the carbon footprint using CHP for the heat demand remains more favorable. ...
The approach that has been agreed upon will see the creation of three new categories of Bulb & Root Vegetables; Leafy Vegetables & Crucifers; and Fruiting Vegetables in place of the previous categories of Field Vegetables and Asparagus. Edible Horticulture Research Priority Shortlist Note: these priorities have been selected by commodity representatives ...
In June 2015, newspapers around Britain were buzzing about an offer from Marks and Spencer which sought to revolutionize gardening and retail shopping. For the first time in history, UK shoppers were given the opportunity to pick their strawberries from the store itself. These strawberries, which are grown in baskets and under LED lights, added a new dimension to the definition of fresh. ...
In the USA, Government (through the US Department of Agriculture) no longer funds horticultural research; but has increased funding for R&D in the Specialty Crops programme that is defined as "fruit, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruit, horticulture, and nursery crops (including floriculture)." ...
In many countries, schools/faculties of agriculture have been swallowed by schools of life or earth sciences. As such, horticulture then gets attention only when specific crops are addressed in teaching and research but not as a major area of study (Bogers, 2006). ...
Application Scientist, Andrea Melnychenko, and CID's owner, Leonard Felix, would love to demonstrate our instruments, hear about your research, and answer any questions you may have about our products. ...
