In order to study the effect of nitrogen rate and plant density on morphological traits and essential oil and fruit yield of coriander, a split-plot experiment was carried out in research field of Islamic Azad University, Birjand Branch, Birjand, Iran in 2010 based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots were nitrogen rates at four levels (0, 40, 80 and 120...

background and objectives: seedy watermelon (citrullus lanatus) is a crop that is planted in as a second crop after winter crops some parts of country. this crop is more attended by farmers due to the short time between planting and maturity, low production costs and greater profitability rather than other spring crops. in order to evaluate the interaction effects between weeds and seed priming...

Some plants do not demand a lot of chilling hours, but methods to overcome dormancy promote more vigorous and productive plant. This study aimed assess hydrogen cyanamide nitrogen fertilizer with different concentration growth production in ‘Roxo de Valinhos’ fig tree. Two crop cycles (2015/2016 2016/2017) was performed São Manuel city, Paulo State, Brazil. Phenological data evaluated 2 x 5 fac...

grafting and mycorrhizal fungi have gained interest for the positive effects they can have on vegetable crops. the aim of this work was to study the combined effect of grafting with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) inoculation on fruit yield and quality of mini-watermelon [citrullus lanatus (thumb.) matsum and nakai]. ungrafted plants or grafted onto rootstock rs 841 (cucurbita maxi...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a major vegetable crop world-wide, and grown in high tunnels many regions. This study investigates the use of two fertilizer sources, chemical integrated (composted poultry manure plus urea) fertilizers, grafting on growth, nitrate-N content, yield, fruit quality tomato northwestern Washington. Grafting treatments consisted ‘Panzer’ grafted one three rootstoc...

We evaluated selected soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., genotypes during their reproductive stages for resistance to the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), under greenhouse conditions and documented the categories of aphid-resistant soybean. Two screening studies were performed to assess the level of resistance to the soybean aphid on six soybean genotypes during the...

This study examined how forest edges, fruit display size, and fruit colour influenced rates of seed dispersal in an endemic, bird-dispersed, New Zealand mistletoe species, Alepis flavida. To examine rates of seed dispersal, fruit removal rates were compared between plants growing on forest edges and in forest interior, and also between two morphs of plants with different coloured fruits. Two as...

The effects of pre-sowing magnetic treatments on the growth and yield of tomatoes (cv. Vyta), cultivated late in the season, were studied under field conditions. Tomato seeds were exposed either to a 120 mT dynamic magnetic field (induced by an experimental electromagnet) for 10 min or to a 80 mT field for 5 min. Non-treated seeds were used as controls. Plants were grown in experimental plots (...
