The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting lime fruit (C. aurantifolia). A tractor mounted limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude, powered by the tractor power-take-off shaft was designed and developed for this study. The rotating input power was transmitted to the shaker flywheel through a multiple sheave v...

Combining broad pest resistance, high yield, and nutritional quality of fruit in the same hybrid is a challenge for round tomato breeders. Thus, development dwarf line obtaining hybrids may be an excellent alternative achieving such objectives. The aim this study was to evaluate agronomic potential, quality, resistance BC1F3 populations. We evaluated 13 treatments 4 replications. Treatments con...

The present investigation was carried out during Kharif season at the Horticulture Research centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University Agriculture & Technology, Meerut, U.P. 2020. D2 statistics applied to assess genetic divergence among 20 genotypes tomato using Mahalonobis analysis. experimental materials were planted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. analysis va...

abstract almond is an important nut tree which is cultivated in many mediterranean countries. this study was carried out to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics and their correlation in some self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent). quantitat...

to evaluate the inoculation effect of potassium releasing, phosphate solubilizing and nitrogen fixing bacteria on the fruit quality of tomato, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications has been conducted. in this experiment, tomato (super chief cv.) seedlings of the in the treasury cultivation with single and combined treatments of the potassiu...

Blackberry is a highly perishable fruit and its quality decreases very quickly during postharvest period. In this research, two types of container including: oriented poly styrene (OPS), a petroleum-based material, and oriented poly corn starch (OPCS), a bio-based material, was analyzed over 14 days to determine their effects on shelf life of thornless blackberry. Packages were placed in freeze...

iran is the center of origin as well as variation for pomegranate (punica granatum l.). also, iran is one of the most important countries in the world in terms of pomegranate culture and production. monitoring morphological and physiological changes which occur during fruit growth and development is an important determining in orchard management decisions. the aim of the present research was to...

The influence of CaCl2 and borax on growth, yield, and quality of tomato was investigated during the years 2009 and 2010. The experiment was laid out with a randomized complete block design. Calcium chloride (0.3% and 0.6%) and borax (0.2% and 0.4%) solutions were applied as foliar sprays either alone or in combination and data were recorded for plant height, branches per plant, flowers per clu...

barhee is one of the most important date cultivar worldwide that its production in iran is done mainly in khuzestan province. this cultivar has many consumers at its three last developmental stages especially rutab stage. in rutab stage, the fruit texture is very soft and due to high water and sugar content is a good target for microorganisms and so it has a short storage life. using new disinf...

Genetic variation of 36 Sechium edule accessions collected across 12 states in India was assessed using morphological traits and DAMD markers. Eighteen fruit morphological traits (both qualitative and quantitative) were evaluated to confirm the variations in the present collection. Quantitative traits showed major variations with respect to fruit weight (7.85-498.33 g/fruit), fruit length (5.8-...
