Effect of Mode of Pollination on Fruit Set and Fruit Characteristics in Litchi

Erwerbs-Obstbau, 2021
An experiment was conducted during 2017 and 2018 at active field gene bank of ICAR-National Research Centre on Litchi to assess the effect of open cross pollination and self-pollination on fruit set and fruit characteristics in litchi. Nine cultivars of litchi were selected for study and result indicated that fruit set ranged from 17.41 to 68.14 per ...

Postharvest characteristics and handling of litchi fruit — an overview

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2006
Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a tropical to subtropical crop that originated in South-East Asia. Litchi fruit are prized on the world market for their flavour, semi-translucent white aril and attractive red skin. Litchi is now grown commercially in many countries and production in Australia, China, Israel, South Africa and Thailand has expanded ...

Diffusivity, shrinkage and simulated drying of litchi fruit (Litchi Chinensis Sonn.)

Journal of Food Engineering, 2010
Abstract Litchi ( Litchi Chinensis Sonn .) is an important commercial fruit in Thailand and Vietnam. Litchi fruit is consumed both as fresh and dried products. Also most of the export of litchi is in the form of dried whole litchi fruit. Thermo-physical properties and drying model of litchi fruit is important for optimum design of litchi dryer.

Olfactory preference of the litchi fruit borer for oviposition on two litchi varieties

Pest Management Science
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe litchi fruit borer Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley is a major destructive pest of litchi and longan plants in China, India and South East Asia. Given its strong olfactory‐based oviposition behaviour, interfering with the chemical communication between this insect pest and its host plant may serve as a potential control strategy ...

Maintaining Quality of Litchi Fruit with Acidified Calcium Sulfate

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010
The effect of acidified calcium sulfate (ACS) on the quality of litchi ( Litchi chinensis Sonn. cv. 'Brewster') fruit after harvest was evaluated. ACS at 1.25% or higher concentrations significantly inhibited the activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase in the pericarp during storage at both 5 and 10 degrees C.

The effect of fruiting status on nutrient composition of litchi (Litchi chinensisSonn.) during the flowering and fruiting season

Journal of Horticultural Science, 1988
SummaryThe pattern of leaf composition was investigated in three litchi orchards (cvs Bengal and Tai So) in subtropical Australia (Lat 27°S). Leaves were sampled from fruiting and non-fruiting branches from flowering to fruit harvest. The response to fruiting varied with the nutrient and the orchard. The major effect of fruiting was to reduce leaf K in

Development of a model for quality evaluation of litchi fruit

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2014
Sensory quality of litchi fruit is closely related to the appearance, flavor and nutritional quality. Principle component analysis (PCA) and multi-linear regression analysis (MLR) were performed to select the crucial quality factors in determining litchi sensory quality, and then a mathematical model was established to evaluate the litchi quality ...

Litchi Fruit Set, Development, and Maturation

2017
In broad terms, fruit development can be divided into three stages: set, growth, and maturation. The fruit set of litchi are established soon after fertilization except for the parthenocarpic cultivars, which grow fruits without fertilization. In structure, the fruit of litchi is a drupe with an edible aril enclosing a single seed surrounded by a ...

Physiological and biochemical studies during fruit ripening in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)

Postharvest Biology and Technology, 1994
Abstract Postharvest treatment with Alar or cobaltous chloride was found to be the most effective in increasing the shelf life of litchi ( Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruits by up to 4 days. These treatments significantly reduced the physiological weight loss, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content while an increase in total soluble solids and ...

Phenological development litchi fruit (Litchi chinensis) in different regions

2019
Avaliou-se o desenvolvimento fenológico de frutos da lichieira em duas regiões diferentes do Brasil, sendo uma em Casa Branca-SP e outra em Monte Belo-MG. As avaliações foram realizadas quinzenalmente, tendo início a partir do vingamento dos frutos e seguindo até o ponto de maturação fisiológica dos respectivos locais.
