The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), black currant or cassis is a deciduous shrub in the family Grossulariaceae grown for its edible berries. It is native to temperate parts of central and northern Europe and northern Asia, where it prefers damp fertile soils. It is widely cultivated both commercially and domestically. It is winter hardy, but cold weather at flowering time during the spring may reduce the size of the crop. Bunches of small, glossy black fruit develop along the stems in the summer and can be harvested by hand or by machine. The raw fruit is particularly rich in vitamin C and polyphenols. Blackcurrants can be eaten raw but are usually cooked in various dishes. They are used to ma…

Comparative Oil Content of Fresh Fruit Bunches Harvested from Oil Palms Grown in Peat and Mineral Soils. It has been noted for some time by private oil palm millers in North Sumatera that mills processing crop predominantly from peat soils have oil extraction rates (OER) 1.0 to 2.0 per cent lower than sister mills processing crop from mineral soils. As Asian Agri’s Research and Development (R&D) Department had established a number of Gen-1 and Gen-2 progeny and tenera clonal trials on both mineral and peat soils, bunch component analysis data from these 12 trials were re-examined in greater detail to determine whether there was any scientific basis to confirm the perception of lower oil con…

Yield, Labor, and Fruit and Juice Quality Characteristics of Machine and Hand-harvested ‘Brown Snout’ Specialty Cider Apple. In this 2-year study of ‘Brown Snout’ specialty cider apple ( Malus × domestica ) grafted onto Malling 27 (M.27) and East Malling/Long Ashton 9, we compared weight of total harvested fruit, labor hours for harvest, tree and fruit damage, and fruit and juice quality characteristics for machine and hand harvest. Machine harvest was with an over-the-row small fruit harvester. There were no significant differences due to rootstock; however, there were differences between years for most measurements. Weight of harvested fruit did not differ because of harvest method; howev…
