Abstract | ||||
Two field experiments, were conducted at a private farm near El-Mansoura Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt during (2006/2007) and (2007/2008) to study the effect of hydro- disillated essential oils (mint, caraway and garlic) salicylic acid compare with hydrogen peroxide and sprout growth inhibitor paclobutrazol (PP333 ) to tubers of spunta cvs on their morphological and biochemical behavior during storage ambient temperature The obtained results indicated that:- 1- The most superior storage treatments which reduced weight loss, sprouting and damage were garlic oil (6ml/L). 2- Tuber dry matter and total soluble solid were significant higher with prolonged of storage period. On the other hand ascorbic acid was significant decreased with prolonged storage period. 3- Dipped tubers with garlic oil (6ml/L) followed by salicylic acid 1000ppm and hydrogen peroxide 1% significantly reduced higher of total carbohydrate and reducing sugar. 4- Treated tubers with high concentration of essential oil were significantly lower reduced total carbohydrate from the beginning to the end of storage period. | ||||
