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 ...
Maize technology development and transfer
(International maize and wheat improvement center, 1998)
More than three decades of systematic research have been directed toward
maize technology development and transfer in Kenya. During that period, the
maize research program of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute ...
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 ...
Assessment of rainwater retention in agricultural land and crop yield increase due to conservation tillage in Ewaso Ng’iro river basin, Kenya
(2006)
Rainwater harvesting and management (RHM) systems are increasingly being recognized as one of the strategies of upgrading rainfed agriculture, especially by smallholder farmers in semi-arid environments. The need to increase ...
Effect of source, time and method of nitrogen application on growth and yield components of potato in Kenya
(2000)
The effect of different sources of Nitrogen (N), time and method of application on growth and
development of potato was investigated over two seasons using the cultivar Dutch Robjyn. The
three sources of nitrogen (Calcium ...
Nitrogen requirements of potatoes.
(Orgz, 1989)
Nitrogen fertilizer applications, for maximum fertilizer efficiencies and crop yields, should be based on the N required by the crop during its various growth stages. The objectives of this paper were to identify the N ...
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 ...
Postharvest moisture loss characteristics of carrot (Daucus carota L.) cultivars during short-term storage
(Elsevier, 1998-02-13)
Differences in moisture loss characteristics among carrot cultivars Imperator Special 58, Gold Pak 28, Caro-pride, Paramount, Eagle, Celloking, Top Pak and Caro-choice during short-term storage at 13 °C and at either 80% ...
Influence of preharvest water stress on postharvest moisture loss of carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-11-07)
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 ...
