in other to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits of 24 populations, from four species chamomile of the genus of anthemis, an experiment were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-12. 13 traits including: length and width of canopy diameter, plant height, number of flower, shoot fres...

effects of nitrogen fertilization timing close to the beginning of short-day period and white mulch on flowering and yield components have been studied in ‘paros’ and ‘queen elisa’ strawberry cultivars. split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with eight treatments (two mulch treatments × n fertilization during four different times from last week of august to third week of se...

introduction: more plains of iran are located in arid and semi-arid regions and so agricultural production systems depend heavily on water. recently, the reduction of water resources has become a serious threat for crop production such as cotton planting. therefore, application of low irrigation methods can be an appropriate method to cope with mentioned condition. in addition, it is vital to i...

• Flower formation in grapevines follows 3 steps: 1) formation of uncommitted primordia, also called anlagen, within the latent buds; 2) differentiation of uncommitted primordia into inflorescence primordia; and 3) differentiation of inflorescence primordia into individual flowers . Steps 1 and 2 happen during the previous season, whereas Step 3 does not happen until budbreak of the current sea...

The basic objective of this paper is to measure and compare the profitability of investments made by the small and marginal farmers of the state of West Bengal in floriculture shifting from the traditional cultivation of paddy. A comparison of IRR is made to establish the fact that cultivation of flowers yield higher returns farmers whose land size is so small that viability of paddy cultivatio...

five carnation cultivars (‘grand salam’, ‘nelson’, ‘kaly’, ‘cinderella’ and ‘tempo’) were evaluated with respect to growth, yield and quality characteristics under lath house conditions at kala shah kaku research station, directorate of floriculture, lahore during 2011. among the cultivars studied, maximum plant height was recorded in carnation cultivar ‘grand salam’ (78.66 cm) closely followed...
