Drivers of the adoption of farmer-innovated sprinkler irrigation systems: evidence from Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka by Aheeyar, Mohamed M. M., Manthrithilake, Herath, Pathmarajah, S.

“…The main drivers of this technological shift are (i) significant reduction in the cost of irrigation due to lower expenditure on labor and energy; (ii) user-friendly and affordable technology; (iii) easy to assemble, install and manage (operation and maintenance); (iv) easy access to components and spare parts (locally available); (v) potential to cultivate high-value cash crops; (vi) environmental context of the area (high number of rainless days, year-round availability of groundwater resources, low water-holding capacity of sandy soil); and (vii) immediate connection to markets through mobile phones and improved road networks. …”

Reduction of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Population in Concentrated Grape Juices by Thermal Pasteurization and Hydrostatic High Pressure Processing by Rojo, María Cecilia, Cristiani, M., Szerman, Natalia, Gonzalez, M.L., Lerena, María Cecilia, Mercado, Laura Analia, Combina, Mariana

“…High hydrostatic pressure treatment above 500 MPa for 2 min are necessary to reduce 7 logarithms of Z. rouxii population and to significantly extend the shelf life of concentrate grape juice. Extension of holding times from 3 to 5 min, at the different high hydrostatic pressures evaluated, did not improve the Z. rouxii population reduction, nor the shelf life extension of concentrate grape juice. …”
