Title: Factors affecting storability of apples in Syria. Author: Al-Bachir M. Journal: Plant Foods Hum Nutr; 1995 Oct; 48(3):259-67. PubMed ID: 8833432. Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of some environmental factors (production place and season), production factors (variety, fruit size, irrigation and yield), and storage conditions (refrigerated and non refrigerated rooms) on storability of cv.'Golden' Delicious and cv. 'Starking' apples (Malus domestica, Borkh) in Syria. The results showed a negative relationship between apples' storability and each of the following: temperature from April to September, irrigation before harvest, yield, and fruit size. Whereas altitude, and rainfall through winter had a positive effect on storability of apples.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
