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 ...
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 ...
Sequence in the range of a vector- value measure
(Journal of school of computer, statistical and mathematical sciences, 1999)
Liapounoff, in 1940, proved that the range of a countably additive
bounded measure with values in a finite dimensional vector space is
compact and, in the nonatomic case, is convex. Later, in 1945,
Liapounoff showed, ...
Characteristics of rural poultry production in different agro-ecological zones in Kenya
(1998-11-09)
A cross-sectional was conducted to establish the characteristics of rural poultry production in Nyandarua, Nakuru and Laikipia districts of Kenya. Sites of diverse agroecological zones (AEZ) in the 3 district were selected, ...
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% ...
Replacement of postharvest moisture loss by recharging and its effect on subsequent moisture loss during short-term storage of carrots
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 1998-01-01)
Replacing postharvest moisture loss in carrots (Daucus carota L., `Caro-choice') by single and repeated recharging (rehydration in water) treatments, interaction between the duration of recharging and temperature during ...
