چکیده

234 Abstract— The growth and health status of plants can be accessed from the electrical properties of its limbs such as leaves and stem. Present investigations were carried out to study the electrical impedance of Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe-vera) leaves for investigating the effect of external ac current on its tissues Impedance was estimated over the frequency ranging from 500 Hz to 20 kHz. Aloe-vera plant has been chosen because of its extensive applications in dermatology. It is also known as “Lilly of Desert”. The leaves of Aloe-vera contain a soothing thick sap that is useful for treatment and curing of wounds and diseases. The estimated impedance of the leaves was found to be a function of applied ac frequency across the leaves. The impedance of the leaf tissue decreases with the increase in frequencies of input signal. This may be due to change of dielectric properties of Aloe-vera tissues indicating a mechanism of evaluating the health status of Aloe-vera by estimating its electrical impedance

Flowering and fruit set in olive: a review. Esmaeil Seifi1*, Jenny Guerin2, Brent Kaiser2 and Margaret Sedgley3

Olive is one of the most ancient fruit trees and has been cultivated for its oil for thousands of years. A mature olive tree produces about 500,000 flowers. They are borne on inflorescences termed panicles. The number of flowers and their distribution on the inflorescence are specific for each cultivar but can change from year to year. The flower position on the inflorescence affects its gender...

Applying Calcium Carbide Solution Affect Sex Expression and Increases Yield of Monoicous Cucumber

Sex expression in cucumber is influenced by hormonal and environmental factors such as day length and temperature. Increasing female flowers that will develop to fruit is a trick for increasing yield, hence it’s importance. Likewise, it would help breeders through hybridizing process. Ethylene as a plant hormone is known to increase female flowers of most members of Cucurbitaceae family but as ...

Efficiency of Folic Acid in Improving Yield and Fruit Quality of Strawberry

In this research the effect of application of different levels of folic acid and time on some quality and agronomic characteristics of strawberry (cultivar Paros) was investigated. The plants were treated by folic acid with concentrations of 0, 20 and 40 mM at two stages (30 days after planting and first blooming) as a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with four repl...

Effect of Ultrasonic Atomizer on the Yield and Yield Components of Tomato Grown in a Vertical Aeroponic Planting System

Aeroponic planting is proved to be the one of the most efficient growing environments for many vegetable crops. In this technique, plants are cultivated in absence of soil and the required nutrients are directly supplied to the roots through a fogging system. In modern sprayers, water is atomized by means of ultrasound waves. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ultraso...

The Effect of Dynamic Permeability on Velocity and Intrinsic Attenuation of Compressional Waves in Sand

Stress waves contain useful information about the properties of porous materials; they can be recovered through different non-destructive testing methods such as crosswell, vertical seismic profile, borehole logging as well as sonic tests. In all these methods, it is crucial to assess the effects of frequency on wave attributes including velocity and intrinsic attenuation. The dependency of per...
