Potassium nutrition and shelf life of carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(American society for horticultural science, 1996-08-01)
The effect of potassium (K) nutrition on the shelf life of carrots was studied using a hydroponics system involving rockwool slabs as support. Carrots were grown for 192 days under greenhouse conditions and supplied with ...
Influence of preharvest water stress on postharvest weight loss of carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(American society for horticultural science, 1996-08-01)
To understand the relationship between preharvest water stress and postharvest moisture loss, carrot cvs Eagle and Paramount were grown in muck soil in 6 1 pots (eight carrots per pot) in a greenhouse at the University of ...
Replacement of postharvest moisture loss by recharging and its effect on subsequent moisture loss during short-term storage of carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(American society for horticultural science, 1997-06-01)
The replacement of postharvest moisture loss in carrots (cv. Caro-choice) by single and repeated recharging (i.e., rehydration in water) treatments, interaction between the duration of recharging and temperature during ...
Effects of moisture loss on water potential components and tissue deterioration in carrots during Short-term storage
(American society for horticultural science, 1995-07-01)
Studies were carried out to understand the effects of moisture loss on water potential and root deterioration in carrot (Daucus carota L. `Eagle') roots during short-term storage. The roots were stored at various temperatures ...
