experiments were carried out in a commercial orchard during 1994, 1995 and 1996 to determine the influence of chemical thinning on characterisics of fruit and alternate bearing of native olive (olea europea l) cvs. dezfoul and fishomi at early fruitlet stage. in 1994, branch sprays of naphthalene acetic acid (100, 150 and 200 mg/l), naphthalene acetamide (200 and 300 mg/l) and urea (0.6 and 1.2...

in order to compare two hydroponic culture systems (countinuous and pumic) for producing two cultivars of greenhouse cucumber (2259 and delta star) an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with five replications. for mineral nutrition of plants murashige and skoog solution (m.s.) was used by concentration of leaves. the height of the stem, diameter of the first internode,...

In Ayurveda, the ripe fruit of Averrhoa carambola L. (commonly known as “Kamarakh”) is considered as digestible, tonic strengthening, for bleeding piles and causing biliousness. The dried fruit is also used in fever; it is cooling and possesses antiscorbutic properties. It is considered as one of the best Indian cooling medicines. An attempt has been made to highlight this medicinal fruit throu...

In apple cultivation, simulation models may be used to monitor fruit size during the growth and development process to predict production levels and to optimize fruit quality. Here, Fuji apples cultivated in spindle-type systems were used as the model crop. Apple size was measured during the growing period at an interval of about 20 days after full bloom, with three weather stations being used ...

Abstract The study used 3 x 4 factorial experiment in RCBD. Factor A (variety) V 1 -Django, 2 -Vulcan and -Sinigang. T -control, -100 ml cattle manure tea, chicken dung vermi tea were B (a different tea). results showed that manures had no effect on plant height, leaf length width, fruit length. interactions of both factors also not significantly affected. All the gave similar responses terms s...

the level of self-compatibility of the 48 pre-selected apple cultivars, using their own pollen, the genetic capacity of flowering, flower-fruit conversion ratio, multiple fruit fall and bearing preservation during 4 successive biological growth stages were examined through two main treatments of self and cross pollination, in horticulture research station of kamalshahr in karaj (iran). the frui...
