Postharvest application of hot water and ultraviolet light prolongs the marketable window of fresh grapes by maintaining physicochemical attributes during ambient storage
The short shelf life of table grapes, mainly due to moisture loss, oxidative stress, and loss of quality during ambient storage conditions, is a significant limitation in regions that do not have cold-chain facilities. The current research addresses this challenge by comparing the performance of…

Optimizing Planting Method and Fertilizer Application Rate for Producing High Quality Nursery of Onion cv. Phulkara
Onion (Allium cepa L.), locally famous as “Piaz”, occupies a prominent place among commercial crops of Pakistan, by supplementing the income of small/marginal land-hold farmers. One of the major constraints of onion farming in Pakistan is poor nursery due to adoption of traditional planting methods…

Impact of foliar application of seaweed extract on growth, yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
A field trial was carried out in 2010 to investigate the effect of foliar application of seaweed extract “Primo” as an organic biostimulant on potato cv. ‘Sante’. Foliar application of seaweed extract was carried out at different growth stages of the crop (i.e. 30 days; 45 days; 60 days; 30 and 45…

Evaluating morpho-physio-biochemical and yield performance of six commercial potato cultivars under a semi-arid agroecosystem
Abstract The potato production in semi-arid regions is often hampered by extreme temperatures, high solar radiation, and low soil fertility, which reduce photosynthetic performance and nutrient absorption. Therefore, it is crucial to identify cultivars that can tolerate such conditions without…

Plant spacing modulates growth, yield and nutrient dynamics of sponge gourd under semi-arid conditions
Abstract With the global population steadily rising and arable land shrinking, enhancing per-unit area productivity has become a critical challenge, particularly in semi-arid regions where resource limitations further constrain crop yields. Sponge gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca L.), a nutrient-rich summer…

Effect of Humic Acid on Morphology, Fluorescence, and Nutrient Uptake of Spring-Sown Potato Crop Under Saline Sandy Loam Soil
Soil salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that significantly limits agricultural productivity, particularly in hot arid and semiarid areas. In such areas, crops are also subjected to high irradiance, which may exacerbate the physiological stress. The conventional chemical and…

Combined application of hot water treatment and eucalyptus leaf extract postpones seneṣcence in harvested green chilies by conserving their antioxidants: a sustainable approach
Abstract Background Green chili is the predominant vegetable in tropical and subtropical regions with high economic value. However, after harvest, it exhibits vigorous metabolic activities due to the high moisture level, leading to a reduction in bioactive compounds and hence reduced shelf life and…
