effect of rates and methods of application of zinc on yield, and fruit quality in satsuma mandarin

the experiment in this study was conducted as a completely randomized block design with ten treatments and four replications. treatments included: to- control, t1- 50g of zn per tree as broadcast application, t2-100g zn per tree, broadcast application, t3- 200g zn per tree as broadcast application, t4- 50 g zn per tree as band application, t5- 50g zn per tree, band application, t6-100g zn per t...

Ethylene Production by Albedo Tissue of Satsuma Mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) Fruit.

Isolated albedo tissue of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marcovitch, cv. Owari) fruit produced a large quantity of ethylene during incubation at 26 C in the dark. When sliced, albedo tissue began producing ethylene at an increasing rate until a maximum was reached after incubation for about 30 hours. Aged albedo discs which were capable of producing ethylene, actively converted l-[U-(14)C]meth...

Pear fruit growth under regulated de®cit irrigation in container-grown trees

The effect of regulated de®cit irrigation (RDI) on fruit growth was studied for pear trees (Pyrus communis L. `Barlett') grown in 120 l isolated containers. Two irrigation treatments were applied in consecutive seasons (1996 and 1997) but on different trees each year. The Control treatment was watered to non-stress conditions using stem water potential (Cstem) and Penman ETo as a guide for the ...

Flowering, crop performance and fruit Quality of blackcurrants Grown under simulated winter climate change conditions

Water Status of Olive Trees

Leaf water potential (') and leaf conductance (gl) were measured in the field in 20-year-old olive trees subjected to two treatments of soil water content (dry-farming and drip-irrigation). Differences between treatments of up to 0.35 MPa were observed in predawn , values. At midday, these differences were of up to 0.83 MPa. However, no significant differences between treatments were observed i...
