Using a Chill Unit/Growing Degree Hour Model to Assess Spring Freeze Risks for `Redhaven' Peach Trees [PDF]
HortScience, 1990 Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] production in Tennessee has declined since 1985 due to the occurrence of freezing temperatures that kill the buds, usually in the spring. Analyses of long-term (1951-89) daily temperature data from four locations in Tennessee were used to evaluate the freeze risks for `Redhaven' peach tree buds at those sites. A model

Flowering of Containerized Field-grown Garden Roses is Affected by Dig Date, Chill Hours, and Forcing Location [PDF]
HortScience, 2004 Rose (Rosa sp.) cultivars Blue Girl and Mister Lincoln were harvested bare-root on 1 Nov. 2001 and 22 Nov. 2002 from a commercial nursery in Arizona. Grade 1 plants were then potted and forced to flowering in either Tucson, Ariz., or Tyler, Texas. Total chilling hours were calculated as the number of hours that the plants were exposed to a temperature ...

Microbiological Evaluation of Chicken Carcasses in an Immersion Chilling System with Water Renewal at 8 and 16 Hours [PDF]
Journal of Food Protection, 2012 Since 2004, Brazil has been the leading exporter of chicken. Because of the importance of this sector in the Brazilian economy, food safety must be ensured by control and monitoring of the production stages susceptible to contamination, such as the chilling process.

Perspectives on the adaptation of Japanese plum-type cultivars to reduced winter chilling in two regions of Spain [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceJapanese plum, like other temperate fruit tree species, has cultivar-specific temperature requirements during dormancy for proper flowering. Knowing the temperature requirements of this species is of increasing interest due to the great genetic ...

Comparison of microbial load in immersion chilling water and poultry carcasses after 8, 16 and 24 working hours [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2010 Poultry processing facilities are known for using a great amount of water, which is mainly used on carcasses chilling stage. In Brazil, meat regulations state that each chiller tank must be emptied, cleaned and sanitized every 8 working hours. The aim of the current study was to assess the microbial load of chiller water used in poultry immersion ...

CHILLING HOUR ACCUMULATION MODELS AND CALENDAR DATE USED TO PREDICT ROOTING OF WHITE FIR STEM CUTTINGS IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 Historically, calendar date has been used to determine when cuttings are collected for rooting. However, year-to-year variations in climate limits the usefulness of using calendar date. More recently, rooting of stem cuttings has been associated with chilling accumulation.

Effect of the Accumulated Effective Chilling Hours at the Pruning Time on Budbreak Table Grape on Dessertic Condition [PDF]
HortScience, 2004 The grape crop is important in Sonora State, Mexico, even though the grape growers have some problems that put in risk its continuity. To decide the moment of pruning time is one of the important decisions that the grower must done, because that depends partly the moment and the magnitude the budbreak appeared.

Subtropical Peach Defoliation and Chill Hours
EDISProper foliage management is a key factor in having a healthy peach orchard and producing high-quality fruit. However, this is not an easy task for Florida growers. The warm and humid climate throughout Florida’s growing season makes it difficult to keep peach leaf rust and bacterial spot under control, which could cause premature defoliation.
