University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, and Kansas State University, conducted trials to observe the varietal performance of pinto beans under commercial field conditions. There were 33 trial sites located mainly in Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z https://acikerisim.bingol.edu.tr/handle/20.500.12898/789 Effects Of Aloe vera (L) Gel on Cold Storage of Organicaly Grown Tomato Fruit Abstract Ak, Ayhan; Ergun, Muharrem; Arpaci, Bekir Bulent his study was carried out to investigate the effects of Aloe vera gel application (% 0, 25, 50 and 75) on fruit of ‘Rio Grande’ tomato variety produced by organic and conventional methods. Aloe vera gel-treated fruit were stored at 7 °C for 30 days. Weight loss, color changes on fruit skin, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH values and decay were recorded during storage. As a result according to the parameters studied, applications of different doses of Aloe vera gel did not provide a significant contribution to the cold storage of tomatoes. The results presented that Aloe vera gel application may notsuitable for bio-storage of tomato fruit 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z https://acikerisim.bingol.edu.tr/handle/20.500.12898/788 BİNGÖL’DE MEYVE FİDANI YETİŞTİRİCİLİĞİNİN GELİŞTİRİLMESİ Simsek, Mikdat; Ergun, Muharrem; Ozbay, Nusret Nowadays, one ofthe basic conditionsfor the modern cultivation offruit trees is to grow quality saplings. Yield per unit area can be increased severalfold infruit tree production started with high quality saplings under appropriate growing conditions. Until the 1990s in Turkey, while an important part offruit tree saplings are produced in state-owned enterprises, later the vast majority of them are produced by private nursery enterprises. The majority of nursery enterprises operate in Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean regions. There are veryfew nursery enterprises in Eastern Anatolia Region. Either planned production offruit trees or sapling production have not developed enough in Bingöl. Poor quality fruit tree saplings are traded in the region. In addition, enough care is not being taken during transportation andprotection ofseedlings broughtfrom different ecological conditions. This situation may lead to the emergence ofsome problems in establishingfruit tree garden. The responsibilities of public and private sectors are great to overcome problems related to nursery and to develop fruit tree sapling production in Bingöl province. Our goal is to raise issues in terms offruit tree sapling in the province of Bingöl and attract attention to take measures to solve these problems. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z https://acikerisim.bingol.edu.tr/handle/20.500.12898/787 EFFECTS OF HOT WATER TREATMENTS ON SHELF LIFE OF FRESHCUT CARROT STICKS Ergun, Nazan; Ergun, Muharrem; Oz, Ayse Tulin Effects of hot water treatments on the shelf life of fresh-cut carrots (Daucus carota ‘Nantes’) were studied in this research. Carrots were cut into sticks with a dimension of 9 x 9 x 9 mm3. These sticks later divided into 4 batches, then first batch was dipped into distilled water (24 ºC), the second batch into distilled water with the temperature of 50 ºC, the third batch into distilled water with the temperature of 55 ºC, and the fourth batch into distilled water with the temperature of 60 ºC for 5 min each. Following the treatments, the sticks were wrapped with a plastic stretch film and stored at 4 ºC for 10 days. At 2 day intervals, weight loss, total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, color, crispness, bitterness and aroma were recorded. Results indicated that carrot sticks could be stored at 4 ºC for a long time without compromising their quality, and however, unlike other horticultural commodities hot water treatments did not have additional benefits on the shelf life of carrot stick 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
