Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi secrete glomalin deposited into the soil as glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), which possess multiple utility to benefit both soil as well as plant health. The present study aimed to assess the effects of the foliar application of an easily extractable GRSP (EE-GRSP) on the fruit quality, soil nutrients, and soil structural changes in three important citrus varieties (Satsuma mandarin Oita 4, Newhall navel orange, and Cocktail grapefruit). The exogenous EE-GRSP significantly elevated root mycorrhizal fungal colonization and soil hyphal length in Newhall and Oita 4 varieties, but without any such response in Cocktail grapefruit variety. The foliar spray of the EE-GRSP improved different external (e.g., pericarp, sarcocarp, and single fruit weight) and internal (e.g., soluble solids, titratable acids, and sugar contents) qualities of fruits to varying magnitudes, depending on citrus variety, with a more prominent effect on Cocktail grapefruit. EE-GRSP-treated fruits of Newhall and Oita 4 were more suitable for processing than non-treated control because of a low fruit hardness. However, no significant effect of the EE-GRSP was observed on the internal quality parameters of Newhall. EE-GRSP-treated citrus trees represented higher soil available nutrients over control, to some extent, especially on Oita 4. The foliar application of the EE-GRSP also increased various GRSP fractions to varying proportions and improved the distribution of water-stable aggregates in the size fraction of 0.25–2 mm, thereby increasing the mean weight diameter, particularly in Newhall and Cocktail grapefruit varieties. These observations provided clues about the stimulatory role of the EE-GRSP through soil structure and nutrient pool-mediated improvements in fruit quality.

“…They are an important product group for Turkey in terms of local production and global trade intensity (Gültekin, et al, 2022). Mediterranean countries, especially in Europe, because of their proximity to export markets and the advantage of EU member basin countries such as Spain, Italy, and Greece in international trade contributes to the increase of competitive power in citrus fruits (Duru, Hayran, & Gül, 2022). Therefore, the natural-geographical characteristics preconditioned and helped some countries to cultivate certain cultures.…”

The paper talks about the facts that were established in the research of the origin of fruits and vegetables in the markets of Novi Sad. The results of the research are presented using graphic and cartographic methods. Observed illogicalities are clarified in communication with consumers and sellers. The obtained results were compared with foreign works. One of the goals of the work was to determine the extent of suburban agriculture, which should be the most competitive with others further away from the city. Economic factors have a decisive influence from where the city will be supplied with fruits and vegetables.

The problem solved is to determine safer and more effective technologies for post-harvest processing of fruits. To achieve the goal, lemon fruits (of different degrees of wilting) were cut crosswise, each piece was treated with miramistin and deсasan in concentrations of 0.1 %, 0.3 %, and 0.5 %. The samples were placed on agar blocks with pure cultures of pathogens and placed in wet Petri dishes, kept at a temperature of 25 °C in a thermostat for 6–10 days; the experiment was repeated three times. The research aimed to establish the concentration of antimicrobial drugs for treating lemons; determine the weight loss of lemon fruits depending on the storage temperature. The object of the study is the process of preserving the quality of lemon fruits during post-harvest treatment with antiseptics during cold storage. It is proposed to treat lemon fruits with miramistin and deсasan in concentrations of 0.3 % and 0.5 % in order to inhibit the development of blue and green mold during storage. Damage to turgor fruits is two times less than that of weakly wilted ones. At a storage temperature of 10 °C, fruits are stored for 40–45 days. At the same time, daily losses are 0.49 %. Lowering the storage temperature to 4 °C extends the storage period to 90–100 days, with a daily mass loss of 0.08 %. A curvilinear correlation dependence of the second order of weight loss of lemon fruits on the duration of storage was established (R2=0.9758–0.9903). Treatment with antiseptics makes it possible to implement environmentally friendly solutions that will make it possible to exclude chemically synthesized fungicides and preserve the natural properties of fresh citrus fruits after harvesting, as well as extend their shelf life. In the development of new, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and affordable technologies, this is an important technique
