The 'Flying Dragon' trifoliate had a unique effect over the 'Okitsu' trees performance, inducing lower canopy volume and higher yield efficiency and fruit quality, and might be suitable for high-density plantings.
Therefore, a field experiment was conducted to test the performance of alternate wetting and drying furrow irrigation (AWDFI) on crop growth, yield, water use efficiency (WUE), fruit quality and profitability analysis of tomato.
These data define potential for improvements to peach production efficiency and fruit quality, particularly for southern Europe peach cultivation conditions.
A recent biological study shows that the extremely good efficiency of fruit flies in finding food, despite their small brain, emerges by two distinct stimuli: smell and visual contrast.
Furthermore, by combining experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, a novel integral approach is proposed to evaluate cooling rate and uniformity, energy efficiency, and fruit quality (including safety) as a result of FAC for different ventilated-packaging designs.
We found that the luminance contrast is the variable with the most explanatory power of the variation in foraging efficiency among fruit species.
This work was co-funded by the EU seventh Framework Programme by the FruitBreedomics Project No. 265582: Integrated Approach for increasing breeding efficiency in fruit tree crops (www.FruitBreedomics.com).com
Our own numerical simulations (Fig 7a) for the searching efficiencies of fruit flies show that saccade angle should be constant at −90 and 90 degrees.
DMPP (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate) is an efficient nitrification inhibitor, thus increasing nitrogen (N) fertilization efficiency, crop yield and fruit quality.
DMPP is very efficient in inhibiting soil nitrification and increasing N fertilizer efficiency, crop yield and fruit quality, and DMPP has no toxicological effects.
