“…The reduction in dry matter during the last period of storage might be attributed to the higher rate of sugar loss through respiration than the water loss through transpiration (Wills et al, 1981). Ben Chekroun et al (1997) showed that the dry matter of Jerusalem artichoke tubers maintained for the first 7 weeks of cold storage beyond this period, a decrease trend takes place until the end of the storage.…”

These experiments were carried out during two successive seasons 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 on Jerusalem artichoke local cultivar. Plants were grown at Katatba Menofya Governorate under sandy soil and drip irrigation system. Planting date was 15 th of April and tubers were harvested at 15 th of November and 15 th of December in the two seasons, to study the yield, physical, chemical changes happened in tubers during harvesting date to determine the proper stage of harvesting. Effect of wrapping film and storage temperatures (0 °C, 5 °C and 10 °C) were examined to improve the storability of tubers. Results indicated that Jerusalem artichoke tubers of Local cultivar harvested on 15 th of November was the proper stage of harvesting which showed the higher tuber weight / plant, total yield, marketable yield, dry matter and inulin percentage. However, tubers harvested on 15 th December was higher in total sugars percent when compared with those were harvested at15 th November. For the wrapping film, the non perforated polypropylene bags (nppb) treatment was the most effective in reducing weight loss. Weight loss was greater in the unwrapped tubers. Wrapping tubers in perforated polypropylene bags gave the lowest decay incidence and maintained dry matter and inulin content during storage. Examining of storage temperature, tubers stored at 0 °C showed the lowest loss in weight and decay percentage and holds more dry matter and inulin content comparing with those stored at 5 or 10 °C. Tubers stored at 10 °C gave the highest loss in weight and decay percentage. Jerusalem artichoke tubers, Local cultivar, harvested on 15 th of November and wrapped with ppb and stored at 0 °C resulted in an important improvement in market quality through reduce decay percentage and hold more dry matter and Inulin content and gave tubers with good appearance for 5 months of storage at 0 °C.

“…Most of carbohydrates consist of water-soluble inulin. Concentration of inulin reaches 50 -56% of dry matter or 11.3 -14.2 g 100 g'' of fresh mass of tubers (Ben-Chekroun et al, 1997).…”

In order to study the effect of cultivars and foliar application of some growth stimulants as well as their interaction on the production, quality and storability of Jerusalem artichoke; a split plot experiment was conducted with three replicates. El-Balady and Fuseau were assigned to main plots and 7 various stimulants were assigned to sub plots. Data was collected on some vegetative, yield, tuber physical characteristics, chemical components of leaves and tubers as well as storability. The results indicated in some characters, that there are significant differences between both cultivars with the superiority of Fuseau cultivar. Either seaweed extract and yeast extract treatments were the most effective treatments for yield, tuber physical characteristics, while chitosan treatment gave the lowest values for storage losses percentage. Also the interactions between Fuseau and seaweed extract, yeast, or chitosan gave the most desirable values according to the studied character.
