Improve yield and quality to give consumers the best blueberries on
the market Proceedings of the 9th North American Blueberry Research
and Extension Workers Conference presents the current status of the
blueberry industry and recent developments in the biology,
breeding, and production of blueberries throughout all of North
America. In this extensive transcript of the convention which
occurred in Halifax, Nova Scotia, during the summer of 2002 experts
have contributed the most cutting-edge research on the commercial
production of the blueberry, specifically focusing on increasing
crop yield and fruit quality through various techniques and
strategies. With original studies and experimental trials in such
important issues as soil amendment, fertilizer, and weed control,
this book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the
industry. With this book, you'll learn a variety of ways to
influence: the mineral nutrition of blueberries blueberry diseases
and pathology insect control blueberry flower bud development the
length of time between harvest and the storage, processing, and
marketing of blueberries Specifically, these proceedings introduce
such recent and ongoing research on blueberries as: a possible
sexual function specialization in the lowbush blueberry chilling
requirement studies effects of sunlight or shade on maturity and
optical density screenhouse evaluations of the Mason Bee Osmia
ribifloris as a pollinator in the Southeastern United States
efficient mowing for pruning wild blueberry fields and much more
With over 35 different studies on blueberries from planting to
postharvesting, you'll gain an extraordinary amount of knowledge
and methodology to expand upon in your own work. The text comes
complete with tables, graphs, figures, and photos, providing you
with valuable visual aids. Whether you are a producer, marketer, or
researcher, this book will be an asset to your professional
knowledge.
Fruits and vegetables are one of the richest sources of ascorbic
acid, other antioxidants and produce-specific bioactive compounds.
A general consensus from health experts has confirmed that an
increased dietary intake of specific bioactive compounds found in
some fresh produce types may protect against oxidative damage and
reduce the incidence of certain cancers and chronic diseases. This
book collectively discusses and reviews empirical data on
health-promoting properties of major fresh produce types. It
provides detailed information on identity, nature, bioavailablity,
chemopreventative effects and postharvest stability of specific
chemical classes with known bioactive properties. In addition,
chapters discuss the various methodologies for extraction,
isolation, characterisation and quantification of bioactive
compounds and the in vitro and in vivo anticancer assays. This book
is an essential resource for researchers and students in food
science, nutrition and fruit and vegetable production.
