Study Notes
Postharvest Technology
- Postharvest technology encompasses the handling, storage, and distribution of food crop produce after harvesting.
- It applies to food crop produce from harvesting to consumption.
- Chapter 2 covers the causes of fresh produce losses and deterioration.
Ethylene and Respiration
- Ethylene relates to the ripening and senescence of produce in postharvest technology.
- The physiological basis of produce respiration is the oxidation of organic substrates to produce energy.
- Temperature affects membrane fluidity, which is important for produce respiration.
Postharvest Disease Management
- The primary goal of postharvest disease management is to prevent or reduce the spread of diseases in fresh produce.
Importance of Postharvest Technology
- The increasing importance of postharvest technology (PHT) is due to the growing demand for quality and safety in food crops.
- The purpose of extending the postharvest life of food crop produce is to maintain quality and reduce losses.
Plant Cell Structure
- The morpho-anatomical basis of plant cells' cell wall is the structure and composition of cell walls.
Postharvest System
- The main elements of the postharvest system/sector include harvesting, handling, storage, transportation, and marketing.
Dermal Tissues
- The primary function of dermal tissues in plants is to protect the plant from external factors.

Animal Husbandry
- Animal husbandry entails the practice of breeding, feeding, and managing livestock.
- Most of the world's domestic animals are raised in Asia.
- The primary focus of modern methods in animal husbandry is on intensive production and efficient use of resources.
- The main purpose of intensive husbandry conditions is to increase productivity and profitability.
- Animal products account for as much as 53 percent of the total agricultural value in Sri Lanka.
- Animals furnish around 30% of the world's total value of agricultural products.
