In the process of planting crops, human beings usually suffer from insect pests, which seriously affect the yield and quality of food. In order to prevent and control pests, people have to use pesticides to escort crop planting and production. Organophosphorus is a common pesticide, and improper protection can lead to farmers' organophosphorus poisoning. In order to remove pesticide residues, ...
The hydroponics, which had its expansion in the early 70s in order to increase productivity and growing in adverse geographical locations, has a long way to go. Some advances in the hydroponic systems has been made recently at the last frontier: space. At the International Space Station (ISS), water and food are limited resources affected by the cost, transport time and storage. The hydroponic ...

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 allow storing these vegetables at 10 ° C (for pak ...
During the study more than 700 measurements were made of the ethylene level in the fruit and vegetable cold storage of wholesale markets, distribution centres and supermarkets and in domestic fridges, over a period of three years. ...
One of the most underappreciated resources on our planet, soil does much more than grow crops The United Nations’ International Year of Soils is hardly a media darling. Maybe it’s because many people are like me, who recall Mom’s words: “Take off your shoes! Don’t bring dirt into the house!” With all the challenges in the world today, why would we recognize ...

Frozen products are processed to an exact size for further processing in the food industry to ensure consistent quality in the final product. Object: plant for calibration (size reduction) of frozen fruits, berries and vegetables Industry: semi-processed foods Objective: frozen products are processed to an exact size for further processing in the food industry to ensure consistent quality in ...
Vegetable amaranth is a leafy vegetable traditionally grown in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia where it is the most consumed traditional vegetable. It is considered to have high nutritional quality, containing relatively large amounts of vitamins A and C. We have assessed the influence of the maturity of the vegetable and soil nutrition on the visual and nutritional quality of amaranth. We found that ...
Fertilization with K and P impacts alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) yield, but how these nutrients influence taproot reserves and gene expression is unknown. Our objectives were to determine how P and K impact (i) alfalfa yield and yield components, (ii) accumulation and use of taproot carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools, and (iii) transcript levels for β-amylase, sucrose synthase, and the high ...
