Activities of NAD(+)-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), sorbitol oxidase (SOX), sucrose synthase (SS), acid invertase (AI), and neutral invertase (NI) in 'Encore' peach (Prunus persica L.) fruits and developing shoot tips were assayed during the growing season to determine whether carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes could serve as indicators of sink strength. In fruit flesh, SS activity was ...

Surveys were conducted in 1994 and 1995 to determine the pest status of the American plum borer, Euzophera semifuneralis (Walker), in New York State stone fruit crops. These surveys indicate that American plum borer is the most important of the wood-boring insects infesting tart cherries and also is an important pest in peaches suffering from canker diseases. It is not prevalent in plums or in ...

the effect of shoot pruning (2, 3 and 4 branches per plant) and fruit position selection (on main branch vs on main and lateral branches) on yield and qualitative characteristics of two greenhouse grown pepper (capsicum annuum l.) cultivars (torkal and paramo) was studied through a factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized block design, of three replications. results indicated th...

high-density planting system is one of the effective methods for improving production and profitability of tree orchards. in this research, the effects of four planting densities (1904, 2666, 3137 and 4800 tree/ha) on annual shoot growth, tree yield, physicochemical properties of fruit and leaf mineral contents of apple (malus domestica borkh cv ‘granny smith’treegrafted on m26 clonal rootstock...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The distribution of canopy growth among different shoot types such as epicormic, long and short shoots is not well understood in the peach tree. In this experiment, the effects of crop load and early epicormic sprout removal on current and subsequent-year distribution of vegetative growth among epicormic, long and short shoots was investigated in Prunus persica. METHODS Fi...

The study was carried out to estimate magnitude of heterosis over better parent and standard check for some important characters in 15 crosses resulting from a half diallel mating design of 6 inbred lines of brinjal. Hybrid variety ‘Tarapuri’ was used as standard check. The parents and the hybrids were evaluated at the farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, during the winter season of 2008-2...

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.), belongs to the family Solanaceae, which is an important vegetable crop of sub-tropics and tropics. The present investigation was carried out at Vegetable Research Demonstration Block, College Horticulture, VCSG UUHF, Bharsar, during Kharif, 2017 evaluate diverse germplasm brinjal under mid hill conditions. experiment laid in RCBD with three replications. In this ...

In this study, the effects of different types nethouses viz., NH1, NH2, and NH3, were investigated at research farm Olericulture Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022 compared control (open field) in terms incidence white fly, aphid, leaf miners, mites, eggplant shoot fruit borer (ESFB). This study included six vegetables 1) Tomato, 2) Eggplant, 3...

We studied the influence of sucrose and nitrogen concentration on in vitro flowering and fruit setting in elongated shoots of Withania somnifera. BA (1.5 mg/l) and IAA (0.3 mg/l) on MS medium supplemented with 4% sucrose showed 67% of in vitro flower induction frequency, 9 flowers/shoot, 4 fruits/shoot and 11 seeds/fruit in elongated-shoots. Different concentrations of nitrogen sources (L-gluta...
