Almond is an important tree nut crop worldwide, and planted areas have been increasing year after year. While self-fertility one of the key factors when it comes to improved almond productivity new cultivars, yield also affected by number flowers produced, pollination, fruit set, drop, weight. drop patterns 20 Mediterranean cultivars were studied over three years. In addition, two scion ‘Marina...

background: dengue fever is a serious public health issue in pakistan for many years. globally plants have been reported to contain compounds with insecticidal properties. these properties have been demonstrated more recently on the larval stages of mosquitoes. therefore, citrus cultivar seeds were evaluated for larvicidal potential against the primary dengue vector aedes aegypti . methods: ext...

doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3054.2006.00747.x Specific rootstocks can differentially influence the vegetative growth and development of fruit trees. However, the physiological mechanism involved in this phenomenon has been elusive. Recent research comparing different peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) rootstocks suggests that the rootstock effect on vegetative growth in peach trees is associated to water...

'flying dragon' is one of the citrus rootstocks that are considered to be a promised dwarfing rootstock in the world. this experiment was conducted in the astara research station for study of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of 4 mandarin cultivars (unshiu, clementine, page, and yunesi) budded on 'flying dragon'. this experiment was carried out with four cultivars in randomized comp...

We investigated hydraulic conductance characteristics and associated dry matter production and distribution of peach trees grafted on different rootstocks growing in the field. A single scion genotype was grown on a low ('K146-43'), an intermediate ('Hiawatha') and a high ('Nemaguard') vigor rootstock. 'K146-43' and 'Hiawatha' rootstocks had 27 and 52% lower mean leaf-specific hydraulic conduct...

Apple scions with diverse growth habits were grafted on various size-controlling rootstocks and morphological characteristics were measured after 6 years of growth in the field. Scion had more influence than rootstock on monthly growth rate. Across all rootstocks, scions with spreading growth habits grew rapidly in April and May and achieved most seasonal growth earlier than scions with upright...

The relationship between Cricenemella xenoplax alone and in combination with Meloidogyne incognitaon the incidence of peach tree short life disease was studied in field microplots during 1989-96. The presence of M. incognita suppressed the population density of C. xenoplax on Lovell peach. Tree trunk diameter was significantly reduced in the presence of both nematode species prior to 1993. Soil...

The aim of the study is to illuminate possibilities using hawthorn (Crataegus spp) as rootstock in loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) growing. For this aim, cv. Hafif Çukurgöbek (HÇG) was budded on rootstocks 8th February, 18th May, 7th August, and 31st October 2019 with chip budding method field conditions. percent bud-take successes were recorded after 45 days operations. In bud-take, top cu...
