Leaf Area Distribution of Tomato Plants as Influenced by Polyethylene Mulch Surface Color

Effect of Mulch Surface Color on Root-knot of Tomato Grown in Simulated Planting Beds.

The effect of different-colored polyethylene mulches on quantity and spectra of reflected light, plant morphology, and root-knot disease was studied in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) grown in simulated planting beds. Tomato plants were inoculated with Meloidogyne incognita at initial populations (Pi) of 0, 1,000, 10,000, or 50,000 eggs/plant, and grown in a greenhouse for 50 days over white, ...

Iron uptake and translocation by tomato plants as influenced by root temperature and manganese nutrition.

The uptake of iron (Fe) by VF-36 tomato plants as influenced by root temperature and manganese (Mn) nutrition was studied. Following a 1-week pretreatment period of various levels of Fe and Mn in the nutrient solution in a controlled temperature room, the uptake of (59)Fe from ferric ethylenediamine di(O-hydroxyphenylacetate) (FeEDDHA) at 1 mumole per liter was studied for periods of 1 to 5 day...

Yield, Leaf Mineral Content, and Quality Properties of Hayward kiwifruit as Influenced by Different Fertilization Methods

Kiwifruit requires a high quantity of nutrients that must be supplied through fertilization to obtain an optimum yield on a sustainable basis. This research was conducted to evaluate different fertilization methods including broadcast application (as control), deep placement of the fertilizer and fertigation, alone or in combination with foliar application and their effects on the yield, leaf m...
