Assessment of different methods for shadow detection in high-resolution optical imagery and evaluation of shadow impact on calculation of NDVI, and evapotranspiration
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-03)
Significant efforts have been made recently in the application of high-resolution remote sensing imagery (i.e., sub-meter) captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for precision agricultural applications ...
Effect of thermosonication on the bioaccessibility of antioxidant compounds and the microbiological, physicochemical, and nutritional quality of an anthocyanin-enriched tomato juice
(Springer, 2018-10-24)
The aim of this study was to assess the potential of thermosonication as a strategy to obtain safe and high-quality tomato juice
enriched in anthocyanins, formulated using strawberry processing ...
Impacts of urbanization on insect herbivory and plant defences in oak trees
(Wiley, 2018-07-23)
Systematic comparisons of species interactions in urban versus rural environments can
improve our understanding of shifts in ecological processes due to urbanization. However,
such studies are relatively ...
Performance of a Chill Overlap Model for Predicting Budbreak in Chardonnay Grapevines over a Broad Range of Growing Conditions
(American Society for Enology and Viticulture (ASEV), 2018-09-26)
Predicting phenological stages through modeling has significant implications for planning viticultural practices and for predicting the impact of climate change on phenology. The Chill Overlap Model is ...
Natural fruitlet abscission as related to apple tree carbon balance estimated with the MaluSim model
(Elsevier, 2018-12-26)
Apple trees produce many more flower clusters than needed for a full crop, but natural early season flower and fruitlet abscission drastically reduce the final fruit number. Natural fruit abscission ...
Attraction of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) to Sweet Alyssum and Assessment of Plant Resources Effects on their Fitness
(Oxford University Press, 2018-01-20)
The green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the most economically important aphid species affecting crops worldwide. Since many natural enemies of this aphid have been ...
Utility of the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model in vine and interrow flux partitioning over the growing season
(Springer Verlag, 2018-09-14)
For monitoring water use in vineyards, it becomes important to evaluate the evapotranspiration (ET) contributions from the two distinct management zones: the vines and the interrow. Often the interrow ...
Decontamination of fresh-cut broccoli with a water–assisted UV-C technology and its combination with peroxyacetic acid
(Elsevier, 2018-05-29)
The effectiveness of a water-assisted UV-C (WUV) technology for the decontamination of fresh-cut broccoli fromconventional and organic agricultural practices was evaluated as an alternative to chlorine ...
Screening of eco-friendly thinning agents and adjusting mechanical thinning on ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’ apple trees
(Elsevier, 2018-05-30)
Fruit thinning is the most important yet difficult practice that drives orchard profitability. High labor costs and difficulty to improve return bloom by hand thinning have left chemical thinning as the ...
Effect of tree type and rootstock on the long-term performance of ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ apple trees trained to Tall Spindle under New York State climatic conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-11-26)
In 2006, two 0.3 ha orchard trials were established at two sites (Dressel farm in Southeastern New York State and VandeWalle farm in Western New York State) to compare two tree types (feathered trees ...
