Problems with plant-parasitic nematodes remain a major challenge in most field vegetable crops worldwide. In agricultural fields in Belgium, these problems have increased in recent years. A major problem is the quarantine root-knot nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi. The host plant status of the most commonly grown cultivars of spinach (Spinacia olerac...
Drinking water and farm-to-fork pathways have been identified as the predominant environmental pathways associated with human exposure (HE) to Pb. This study integrates a GIS-based survey of metal concentrations in soil and a probabilistic quantitative risk assessment of Pb through the food chain. The case study area was selected in the east of Ire...
Ice recrystallization occurring in vegetables during frozen storage causes changes in crystal morphology, and, thus, may affect product microstructure and quality. A mathematical model to describe the evolution of the crystal number density in frozen carrot tissue during dynamically changing temperatures was introduced to get a more comprehensive i...
Jharkhand has great potential to boost potato production, making use of unused agricultural land. New varieties, land pooling, market linkages, farming synchronization, post-harvest technologies, and improved access to seed will improve the potato sector for farmers, consumers, and value chain actors alike. / Jharkhand Tribal Development Council / ...
Potato is a very important cash crop in Uzbekistan as the government has implemented several measures to increase its production to meet food security as well as to improve its export potential. However, irrigation water demand of potato is much higher than for other crops such as sorghum and maize, which normally consume less water and generate mo...
Plectranthus edulis is one of the underutilized tubers indigenous to Ethiopia grown for its edible tuber. However, data on their variation on proximate, sugar, amino acids and fatty acids composition is largely unknown. Therefore, eight landrace, grown under identical conditions, were characterized. Considerable variation in the composition of the ...
