Development and Effectiveness of Three Hydrocolloid-Lipid Emulsion Coatings on Preservation of Quality Characteristics in Green Bell Peppers
… palatability. Quality characteristics of green bell peppers (Capsicum annum L. cv. King Arthur) measured during the 5-week storage period included: respiration rates, chlorophyll content, surface color, puncture force, pectin (uronic acid) content, ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid …

Evaluation of Two Lipid-Based Edible Coatings For Their Ability to Preserve Post Harvest Quality of Green Bell Peppers
… preserve post harvest quality changes in green bell peppers (Capsicum annum L. cv. King Arthur). Post harvest storage quality conditions tested included respiration rates, weight, color and texture changes, and stability of ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) content. Results …

Effects of Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizae on Plants Growing Under Salt Stress
… salt (NaCl) stress, onions (Allium cepa) and bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) inoculated with either Glomus fasciculatus or Gigaspora margarita grew larger than the nonmycorrhizal controls. To determine if improved phosphate (P) nutrition supplied by the mycorrhizal endophytes was the factor …

Biology and Control of Pepper Anthracnose
… Colletotrichum capsici or C. gloeosporioides) of bell peppers (Capsicum annum) has become a serious problem in recent years on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The purpose of this research was to characterize isolates of the fungus from the Eastern United States, to compare them with the type …

No-Till Vegetable Production at the Cal Poly Organic Farm
… design was used to test the effect of tillage on bell pepper yield, weed suppression, plant height, and total soil carbon. The treatments were tilled and no-till (T and NT, respectively). A winter cover crop was seeded. Tilled plots were mown, hand-forked and roto-tilled; NT plots retained a …

Using Pheromone Lures, Insecticide Netting, and a Novel Food-Grade Repellent to Develop BMSB IPM Strategies
… used in an attract-and-kill strategy to protect bell peppers. The pheromone and netting deployed within a pepper field resulted in more BMSB feeding on plants within 6.1 m to the attract-and-kill screen than in further peppers or peppers in the weekly insecticide treatment. In another study, the …

The Perception and Recognition of 3-D Shape from Shadows Cast onto Curved Surfaces
… or static shadows of naturally shaped objects (bell-peppers) cast onto either flat, hemispherical, or saddle-shaped surfaces. The results revealed significant main effects of motion (deforming vs. static shadows), object, and the type of background surface. The results revealed that there were …

Use of the egg parasitoid, Trichogramma ostriniae (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) as a biological control agent of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae): An approach to integrated pest management in bell pepper
… significantly reduced damage by O. nubilalis in bell pepper. Egg parasitization averaged 48.7% in T. ostriniae release plots, which was significantly higher than non-release plots (1.9%). Also, cumulative green pepper fruit damage averaged 8.7% in release plots, which was significantly less than …

Plant growth under photovoltaic arrays of varying transparencies – a study of plant response to light and shadow in agrivoltaic systems
… while no significant differences in yield for bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, lettuce and tomatoes growing north and south of the arrays. In a separate study, a simulated green roof structure was constructed around an existing PV array at CSU's Foothills Campus to explore the feasibility of …

Evaluating microbial safety, postharvest quality, and consumer acceptability of fresh produce engraved with QR codes using a CO₂ laser labeling technology
… crops, ‘Red Delicious’ apples, green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) were procured from a local grocery store. Each produce item was engraved with a Quick Response (QR) code or 6-digit alphanumerical (text) code using the commercially available Trotec …

Factors Influencing Salmonella Survival in Agricultural Soils and Internalization through Solanaceous Crop Roots
Solanaceous crops such as peppers and more commonly tomatoes have been linked to Salmonella outbreaks that have occurred in the United States. The source of contamination for some of these outbreaks was traced back to the preharvest environment. Sources of contamination at the preharvest level of …
