AbstractAn investigation was carried out to determine the ability of foliar fertilizers and growth regulators to prevent pre-harvest drop and enhance navel orange fruit quality. Fifteen year old trees of the Thompson Navel orange variety were sprayed with aqueous solutions of one of the following: methanol (0.13%), calcium nitrate (0.25%), zinc sulfate (1%) + urea (0.5%), fermented sugar- cane extract (2.8%), salicylic acid (1 or 3 mM), citric acid (5 mM), or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0.002%). Results indicated that foliar treatment with 2,4-D reduced fruit drop (2.6%) as compared to the control (15.2%). Fruit decay was delayed and flavor improved by 5 mM citric acid. Weight loss was reduced after 3mM salicylic acid applica- tion, while methanol (0.13%), salicylic acid (1 and 3 mM) and citric acid (5 mM) caused a delay in fruit coloring.

AbstractInvestigations were carried out in 2008-2010 on Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapaL. var.pekinensis(Lour.) Olson). The main problem in cultivation of this vegetable is physiological disorder – tipburn. It is connected with low level of calcium in young leaves and with water deficiency. In 2008, seeds of Chinese cabbage were sown twice, in April and July. In July, the day temperature was high (25-30 °C) and relative air humidity was low (35-50%). In these conditions, the young leaves were injured heavily. Rotting was caused by the activity of bacteriaPectobacterium carotovorumsubsp.carotovorum(Jones) Hauben et al. However, three times foliar application of 1.5% calcium nitrate or 1.5% Wapnovit significantly reduced the tipburn. Also spraying with 0.03% of Tytanit (containing ions of titanium) or with 2.5% of Biochikol 020 PC (containing chitosan) gave similar effect. In these conditions, application of 1.5% K-300 (containing potassium oxide and ammonium nitrate) exacerbated symptoms of tipburn. Application of Wapnovit or Tytanit reduced instantly rotting of heads contrary to the application of their mixture. In autumn cultivation, when the relative air humidity was 80-100%, spraying with 1.5% solution of K-300 significantly decreased injuries in comparison to control. Application of Wapnovit, K-300, Biochikol, Tytanit or the mixture of Biochikol and calcium nitrate eliminated rotting. In experiments done in the springs of 2009 and 2010, when weather conditions were less favorable for tipburn appearance, a severity of it was lower but application of K-300 increased it appearance. In these experiments, Biochikol and Wapnovit eliminated rotting of heads. The results of three years of study have shown that calcium nitrate, Wapnovit, Tytanit and Biochikol limited occurrence of tipburn and bacterial rotting of Chinese cabbage, but the weather conditions during cultivation had the greatest impact on the severity of tipburn.

AbstractThe synthesis of well-dispersed carbon spheres using starch as a carbon source, citric acid as a catalyst, and distilled water as a medium without involving any organic solvent at 120–150°C for 16 h under hydrothermal treatment is presented. The use of citric acid promoted starch dehydration and allowed the use of a lower hydrolysis temperature. Under similar conditions the formation of carbon spheres was not possible in the absence of citric acid. We noticed the significant effect of temperature on the particle size and shape. The particle size increased with the increase in temperature. The synthesized carbon spheres were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy.
