Response of Young Citrus Trees to NPK Fertilization Under Greenhouse and Field Conditions

Response of Young Citrus Trees on Selected Rootstocks to Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Fertilization

The majority of the citriculture in Brazil is located in the state of São Paulo, with a total production area of 700,000 ha. Trees are grafted mostly on ‘Rangpur’ lime (RL; Citrus limonia Osbeck) rootstock. Despite its good horticultural performance, use of other rootstocks has increased with the search for disease-tolerant varieties to improve grove productivity and longevity. Furthermore, the...

Response of Different Citrus Genotypes to Continuous Flooding Conditions

Hypoxia is a potential threat to various horticultural cropsin lands prone to flooding. Citrus is mostly known as a sub-tropical crop that is often exposed to environmental stresses. In order to evaluate response of six different citrus genotypes, including sour orange, rough lemon, Trifoliate orange, Troyer citrange and two local genotypes labeled; CRC1 and CRC2 to flooding conditions, an expe...

Commercial Yield and Quality of Fruits of Cucumber Plants Cultivated under Greenhouse Conditions: Response to Increases in Nitrogen Fertilization

Rates of nitrogen application were studied in relation to commercial yield and fruit quality of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Bunex). All plants were grown under controlled conditions in a greenhouse. Treatments consisted of the application of N as KNO3 (N1, 2.5 g m-2; N2, 5 g m-2; N3, 10 g m-2; N4, 20 g m-2; and N5, 40 g m-2). The fruits of cucumber from the N3 and N4 treatments were...

Effect of Mineral, Bio-NPK Soil Application of Young Olive Trees and Foliar Fertilization on Leaf and Shoot Chemical Composition

The present study was carried out on one year -old two olive cultivars, Coronaiki as oil cultivar and Manzanillo as double purpose (table and oil) cv. in a private farm located at western desert along Cairo, Alexandria Road (50 km from Cairo), Egypt and planted at 5 x 6 meter apart in sandy soil and irrigated with drip irrigation system trees were similar in growth vigour and received the commo...
