The HLB bacteria can infect most citrus cultivars, species and hybrids and even some citrus relatives.... The juice from affected fruit is low in soluble solids, high in acids and abnormally bitter.

  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
  • Agricultural Economics
CONT

The introduction of the Euro will end the need for a system to dampen currency fluctuations in the agri-food sector : the [European] Commission has thus decided to propose a reform of the agrimonetary system which includes in particular abolishing... the current agricultural conversion rate, the "green rate", which is distinct from the official exchange rate. This complex mechanism, which was originally introduced to spread the adjustment of national agricultural prices to currency fluctuations over time, will lose its raison d’être. Since the Member States using the Euro will no longer have different exchange rates, there will be no need for such green rates.

"Pickling" refers to cucumbers that are primarily used for processing or pickling. Pickling cucumbers have thin skins, are short and blocky, and usually have a color gradient from dark green at the stem end to light green at the blossom end. In addition, a pickling cucumber fruit has a whiter or lighter green belly(where fruit and soil are in contact) than does a slicing cucumber.

CONT

Cucumbers can be pickled for flavor and longer shelf-life. As compared to eating cucumbers, pickling cucumbers tend to be shorter, thicker, less regularly-shaped, and have bumpy skin with tiny white- or black-dotted spines. They are never waxed. Color can vary from creamy yellow to pale or dark green. Pickling cucumbers are sometimes sold fresh as “Kirby” or “Liberty” cucumbers.

  • Plant Diseases
CONT

The disease is caused by a late infection by the tomato mosaic virus, which usually severely affects the fruit on one or two clusters without affecting other fruit at all. The characteristic symptoms of internal browning are noticeable when the fruit is cut across near the stem end. In slightly diseased fruit only a few small brown areas may occur. External symptoms are gray or grayish brown areas that often show through the translucent skin of the green or partly ripe fruit. These appear occasionally as blotchy, ill-defined areas. In severely diseased green or ripe fruit much of the flesh tissue of the wall is brown.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies des plantes
CONT

La maladie a pour cause un retour tardif du virus de la mosaïque de la tomate. En général, elle attaque gravement les fruits d'une grappe ou deux sans toucher les autres. Les symptômes caractéristiques du brunissement interne apparaissent clairement lorsque l'on coupe un fruit transversalement près du pédoncule. Dans les fruits légèrement infectés, le brunissement peut se limiter à quelques petites taches brunes. À l'extérieur, les symptômes prennent la forme de petites taches grises ou brun grisâtre souvent visibles à travers la peau transparente des fruits verts ou partiellement mûrs. Parfois, ils peuvent apparaître sous forme de taches ou de zones de formes indistinctes. Dans les fruits verts ou mûrs gravement atteints, une grande partie de la chair près de la paroi est brune.
