This investigation was done to study the effect of spray for two times with CaCl2 0.5% and 1%, high potassium fertilizer and dipping with 2% CaCl2, in addition to packaging with polyethylene films on the storability of pear fruits "Coscia C.V". The results showed the significant superiority of high potassium fertilizer treatment on the other treatments concerning total and single sugars after harvesting time, while there weren't significant differences between the other treatments concerning the remaining indicators. After four months of storage, the packaging treatments were able to the significantly reduction of weight loss, in addition to preserving the firmness and total soluble solids in the comparison with unpackaged ones, the average of weight loss in unpackaged treatments was 15% and 0.65% in packaging treatments, which led to stop the storage of unpackaged treatments and continue packaging treatments until 7 months. After 7 months, the results showed that the dipping with 2% CaCl2 revealed the high weight loss, while was the least with high potassium fertilizer treatment, on the other hand there were no significant differences between treatments for firmness, total soluble solids and tetra table acidity, while total and single sugars showed significant differences between treatments. Moreover, the sensory tests assured the importance of packaging with CaCl2 treatments to improve storability and quality of pear fruits, which CaCl2 1% packaging treatment got the highest values for most of sensory tests.

The effect of different harvesting dates on the quality and storage ability was studied for fruit of Coscia pear cultivar, which planted in the area of Daher Aljabal- Sweida during two successive seasons 2007-2008. Fruit were harvested in three di fferent dates by week time intervals and stored for seven months at (0-1 Cº and 90-95 % RH) in the storage units of apples and vine research department. The effect of harvesting dates of fruit on the physical and chemical properties was determined during period of 7 months in cold storage, by month time intervals. The second date of harvest affected by decreasing weight loss percentage, decay percentage, titratable acidity T. A, starch content and firmness, in addition to that total soluble Solids T. S. S, number of acidity PH, storage ability and shelf life were increased compared to the harvested fruit in the different dates.

The study was conducted at the Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Damascus, during the season of 2002 and 2003, in order to study the effect of dipping apple fruits for the tow apple sorts for 5 minutes with some chemic al substances, α-Tocopherol (0.25%) and Prohexadion-Calcium (1%). The fruits were stored at AlMaze cold storage unit under the normal storage condition (0-1ºC, 93% R.H.), to find out some effects of these treatments on some physical, chemical, and physiological changes of treated and untreated apple fruits, especially: fruit weight, firmness, starch, and soluble solids content. Analysis of variance indicated a significant difference in storage ability of both fruit apple samples in case of dipped fruits in Procalcium solution 1% compared with control fruits. The tocopherol treated fruits were sometimes significant. The results showed a reduction in fruit weight in case of treated sample during cold storage time. Fruit firmness was significantly better in both treatments of procalcium 1% and tocopherol 0.25%compared with control, and reducing physiological disorders during cold storage period.
This research aims study the effect of different treatments in activate and increase percentage of germination Cupressus arizonicaL.seeds to use plants in forestation projects, seeds were get from mature conifers, and tested by different treatments with control, then cultured within polyethylene bags many times to calculate indicators of germination. The results showed that the soaking the seeds Cupressus arizonicaL. in citric acid 0.1% with cold wet stratification for 30 days at 4-5c gave higher germination percentage 75%.The treatments of the soaking seeds in sulfuric acid0.1% and hydroxide sodium 0.1% with cold wet stratification for 30 days gave respectively 60%-53% .But superiority was not significant. Other treatments; soaking the seeds in tap water 24h with cold wet stratification for 30 days gave only 36%.But the control treatment gave lower germination percentage of all just only 9%. The treatment of soaking seeds in citric acid 0.1% with cold wet stratification for 30 days surpassed the rest of the treatments in effect on plant height at the end of the experiment.
The aim of this investigation is studying effect of heat treatment and polyethylene packaging method in storability and quality of lemon fruits' Monachello and Enterdonato'. The experience was carried out in cold store of agriculture college in /Dama scus university/, lemon fruits were stored at 10°c and 85% humidity for 180 days. laboratory experiences was carried out in laboratory of department of horticultural science in the same college during 2010-2011&2011-2012. Part of fruits were packaged in polyethylene bags with 30 microns, the other part of fruits dipped with hot water (62°c for 3 seconds)+ fungicide then were packed in polyethylene packs in addition to the control which untreated and unpacked. The obtained results indicated the significant effect of dipping and packaging in perforated and unperforated bags treatments in maintain fruits quality of 'Monachello and Enterdonato' until the end of storage. maintaining of (32.89 and 39.06%( juice rate of Monachello respectively, and(11.05 and10.01%) of Enterdonato respectively. (35.27 and 36.57 mg/100ml (vitamin C of Monachello and (18 and11.07mg/100 ml( of Enterdonato, respectively. On the other hand, the present investigation showed the positive effect of packaging treatment with 30 microns packs by reducing the weight loss for two sorts which was (51.94 and 68.83%) in dipping and packaging in perforated bags treatment respectively, and the important role to stop fruit decadence, and conserve their marketing specification until end of storage.
