Variation in the colour of dried tomatoes is frequently a problem for both consumers and processors. This study investigated digital imaging and applied soft-computational modelling using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to evaluate the surface colour of microwave-dried tomato slices. The tomatoe...

Early blight (EB), caused by Alternaria linariae (Neerg.) (syn. A. tomatophila) Simmons, is a disease that affects tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) throughout the world, with tremendous economic implications. The objective of the present study was to map the quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with EB resistance in tomatoes. The F2 and F2:3 ...

The wild relatives of modern tomato crops are native to South America. These plants occur in habitats as different as the Andes and the Atacama Desert and are, to some degree, all susceptible to fungal pathogens of the genus Alternaria. Alternaria is a large genus. On tomatoes, several species cause early blight, leaf spots and other diseases. We c...

Tracking plant water status is a critical step towards the adaptive precision irrigation management of processing tomatoes, one of the most important specialty crops in California. The photochemical reflectance index (PRI) from proximal sensors and the high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery provide an opportunity to monitor the crop ...

Tomato plants are susceptible to significant yield losses when infested by the northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla. While there are many options for conventional chemical management, few of these options offer effective control for organic growers or those who seek to adopt more environmentally considerate strategies. In this study, we s...

Grafting high yielding tomato cultivars (Solanum lycopersicum L.) onto vigorous rootstocks can increase marketable yields, but questions remain regarding optimal cultural and growing conditions such as pinching and plant spacing. This study addressed some of the dynamics between grafted plants and cultural practices. Two scions, ‘Tasti-Lee’ (TL) an...

Bumblebee activity interaction with solar irradiation, solar irradiation and HPS lighting irradiation, the HPS effect of photoperiod, day temperature and hive density were assessed with tomato fruit weights in a commercial tomato glass greenhouse in 2020–2021. Pollination activity was measured by observing ten randomly chosen cv. ‘Beorange’ tomato ...

West African cities depend also on food imported from the global market and on intra-regional trade to supplement national food supplies. However, barriers on the road and at borders make cross-border trade challenging and expensive. Find out more about cross-border trade in West Africa, the formal and informal barriers, and why traders and transpo...

In this study, we developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based colloidal gold immunochromatography assay (CG-ICA) strip for the rapid and sensitive detection of flubendiamide (FBD) in food samples. Our anti-FBD mAb 2B1 was highly specific and had a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 1.55 ng/mL under optimal conditions. It belongs to the...
