Top-dressing nitrogen management decision in potato using the UFV-80 color chart and SPAD readings

African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
The chlorophyll meter (SPAD‐502) and “UFV-80” color chart can be used to diagnose the nitrogen (N) nutritional status of potato plants to determine the need for fertilizer‐N topdressing. The present investigation was focused on how chlorophyll meter and “UFV-80” color chart help in determining optimal N management through real time N application ...

Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...
