Flushing, i.e. cyclic fluctuations in fruit yield, is an important problem in sweet pepper production. These fluctuations result from cyclic variations in fruit set. Therefore, the relationship between fruit set and plant sink and source strength was investigated in several greenhouse experiments. A decrease in plant source strength by decreasing inter-plant distance or light intensity or by le...

peach (prunus persica l. batsch.) is produced in most areas of iran, where flowering is hindered by temperature. using plant growth regulators to delay bloom is a suggestive measure to avoid frost damage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (mj) and salicylic acid (sa) on peach bloom delay and yield.  this study evaluated the applications of mj 0 (contro...
