CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKED CHICKPEAS AND SOYBEANS DURING COMBINED MICROWAVE?CONVECTIVE HOT AIR DRYING
Characteristics of Different Systems for the Solar Drying of Crops
Solar dryers are used to enable the preservation of agricultural crops, food processing industries for
dehydration of fruits and vegetables, fish and meat drying, dairy industries for production of milk powder,
seasoning of wood and timber, textile industries for drying of textile materials. The fundamental concepts and
contexts of their use to dry crops is discussed in the chapter. It is shown that solar drying is the outcome of
complex interactions particular between the intensity and duration of solar energy, the prevailing ambient
relative humidity and temperature, the characteristics of the particular crop and its pre-preparation and the
design and operation of the solar dryer

Effect of laser priming on canola yield and its components under salt stress
The effect of laser priming at different irradiation
times on canola yield and its components under saline conditions were investigated. The results showed that laser priming had a positive effect on yield and its components and caused yield increase under saline conditions. Increase in salt levels had a negative and
significant effect on seed yield, number of seeds per pod, number of pod per plant, pod length and plant height. The results showed that 45-min laser priming had the strongest effect on yield and yield components and reduced significantly the adverse effects of salinity.By contrast, laser radiation applied for 60 and 75 min, resulted in a dramatic
decrease in yield and its components. Correlation coefficients between the attributes showed that canola yield had a positive and significant correlation with plant height, number of seeds, pod per main branch and lateral branches, length of pod and number of
lateral branches. Effects of laser and salinity were significant on lateral branch pod length but not on main branch pods
